I am 34 years old with 3 of my own children. I live on the great easthall estate with my husband, children and our beautiful dog.
I have a passion for wooden toys and open ended play, I love seeing children’s imagination run wild making things and exploring in their own little world.
I believe children learn and develop best when happy and content. I offer a home from home environment to help children thrive and reach their full potential.
I love helping children explore the outdoors and try to go on as many outings and adventures as possible. as a setting we enjoy visiting parks, woodland, duck ponds, farms, nature reserves, toddler groups, singing groups as well as many more.
I provide all food for minded children at no extra cost! which is perfect for busy parents who don't want to be making packed lunches every day!
If you are looking for FUN, imaginative and caring childcare, then please get in touch.
My Experience
From a young age I knew I wanted to work with children. I babysat for neighbours as a teenager. Then I went to college to study childcare worked in a nursery. I took a few years out to care for my own children and then set up a successful toddler music group in sittingbourne. I had lots of fun doing that but wanted to broaden my working hours and decided to study again to be a childminder and become ofsted registered.

Charley looked after my son for two years and I couldn’t be more happy.
Her caregiving skills were amazing and she was a great caregiver.
My son learnt new things daily, and was happy being there.
I am so grateful to have found a childminder like her.
