My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Dawn and I’m an Ofsted registered childminder in the Welling area, with many years of experience. I am also a member of the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY).
I’m based in Welling and live in a 3 bedroom semi-detached house with my partner of 31 years who is also my assistant. Local transport links are strong, I’m only a 5 minute walk from Falconwood station and the B15 bus route runs past my house.
I have 2 adorable cats and one tortoise. They are child friendly and in the past the children have loved helping to get involved and take care of them.
I offer dedicated care and education in a warm and welcoming environment. I have a well-stocked playroom with an excellent range of toys and resources to enable your child to learn and develop in a fun and friendly way.
Indoor activities include painting, play-dough, arts and crafts, baking, story and song time. I also have a generous garden with a swings, play house and a mud kitchen; other outdoor activities include sand and water play, planting seeds and bulbs and access to a selection of bikes, scooters and balls.
Oxlea woods are on our doorstep and so offer the opportunity for additional outdoor space and a chance to spot wildlife. Other outings include farm visits, parks,playgroups and soft play areas.
My partner and I are both CRB certified/checked.
My Experience
I have many years of experience in providing care for babies and children between the ages of 5 months to 14 years. I pride myself on raising children in a stimulating yet fun environment and I am able to provide a range of excellent references from previous parents.
In my last OFSTED inspection I was graded GOOD in all areas.

Dawn has looked after my daughter since she was 9 months old. She is now 9 years old and I cannot recommend her more highly. She is kind and caring and I have absolute trust in her looking after my daughter. She has a great understanding of children and every day spent with her is fun and stimulating.
It is a daunting prospect to leave your child with someone you do not know, but from the minute Dawn opened the door to us 9 years ago, I felt instantly relieved and confident my daughter would be well looked after. If you are looking for a childminder that is reliable, helpful, professional and trustworthy, look no further than Dawn.
