My Summary
About Me
FUNDED PLACES AVAILABLE
Hi, I'm Chris and I'm an Ofsted Registered Childminder with 25+ years experience
My passion is to help your little ones develop their unique personalities and self help skills to enable them to thrive as they grow.
I offer a warm, friendly home from home environment where I hope both children and their families feel relaxed and secure in the environment.
My setting has a large playroom which is adequately equipped with toys and resources for all ages from birth to leaving for high school.
I use a secure online system to record your childs progress, observations, daily activities and their learning journal. This is a 2 way system where you as parents can access the system whenever you like and also have the option to add your own information for me to approve and add to your childs progress
We have a large garden that is also well equipped to develop gross motor skills as well as becoming more independant and gaining confidence in the outside world.
I work with my daughter who is my assistant and has a full dbs, paediatric first aid and safeguarding training.
We are both members of Pacey
Our normal hours are between 7.30am until 5.30pm however hours outside of these can be arranged upon request.
We can offer Full/Part time places, 2,3 &4 year funding available
We also offer school wraparound care for local schools Canon Burrows and Waterloo

My 2 year old has not long started with Christine and I have to say she is fabulous… the quality of care that she provides is second to none, my son has taken to her so easily, she’s warm, caring and such a thoughtful lady… she has a wonderful assistant and a big playroom with so many different activities and toys for children to play with. In the back there’s an enclosed garden with lots of slides and equipment for when the weather is nice. I felt extremely nervous about leaving Caleb yet at applejacks I honestly couldn’t ask for more… thank you so much Christine… very grateful and so happy I chose you!! Xxx

Christine is wonderful, from the moment my son first met her he immediately felt comfortable and was treating the setting like him own home! As parents she made us feel really comfortable and would answer every question and gave a lot of useful information.
Overall this would be the perfect setting for any age, you can see how much of an effort Christine makes, I would highly recommend!

My little girl only started last Monday and we are very happy with our decision picking applejacks. Our girl is 19 month old and singing new nursery rhymes, trying new food and is full of smiles when we pick her up. Highly recommended
