My Summary
Children Deserve Us At Our Best! Keep The Mind Healthy ❤️🌎🏃♀️
About Me
We live by - 'Children deserve us at our best and nothing less, so keep your mind healthy.'
The importance of educating children to grow with a healthy food relationship and understand the benefits that physical exercise has on their bodies, is at the heart of everything we do!
I am a friendly, flexible and understanding ofsted registered childminder. I work together with another childminder and four assistants. This ensures that we can always have 3 members of staff working at any one time. Turtle Childcare Ltd is based in Blakelaw and has three dedicated play and Learn areas within the house including a unique sensory room for children that have additional needs or might just need a little tlc. Children have access to a lovely garden with 2 levels to ensure ages can be separated when needed. We also have 1 loving Guinea-pig and a fluffy rabbit that are handled and fed daily by the children.
I work with an amazing childminder Rachael and awesome assistants all studying childcare qualifications ranging from L2-L5. We always have three members of staff working together, allowing us to be a little more flexible than the average childminder, only closing for 2 weeks at Christmas.
My professional experience covers ages 6 months to 12 years and I have two lovely girls of my own aged 12 and 8.
Sessions for settling in are not charged at turtle childcare as we believe both you and your child should feel 100% comfortable before making the important decision.
DBS, first aid that can be checked at any time and references on request.
My Experience
I previously worked as a nanny from March 2019 - April 2020 for various families and volunteered in a Primary School for 1 year improving the children's reading skills. I have been registered with Ofsted as a childminder since Aug 2020.
My Qualifications

My little boy has been with Emma and her team at Turtle Childcare now for 5 months. Going back to work full time and putting him into childcare 5 days a week was a big decision (and worry!!) for me and my husband, but to say we (and most importantly he) are happy is an understatement. He has settled here so well, and comes home everyday full of exciting tales of all the fun things he’s done. Emma and her team are just brilliant at what they do and we couldn’t ask for a better place for our little man to be a part of : )

My son has being going to Emma's for nearly a year now and absolutely loves spending time there with her girls and can't wait to go back each time.
Emma is very friendly and trustworthy which has made our transition to childminders so much easier and stress free.
I couldn't honestly recommend anyone better as a childminder.

Emma is very kind, trustworthy and great with children. She offered to support us during this difficult time. My daughter loves her and her family, she settled since day one which was very surprising for us. She keeps my daughter safe and occupied with many creative activities. I couldn't be more grateful.
