About Me

My name is Gillian Chapman. I am an Ofsted registered childminder . I have first aid training, have been fully CRB checked and have public liability insurance.

I have been childminding since 1988 with a two-year break in 2003/2004 when I was employed as a Learning Support Assistant in a British school in Bielefeld Germany.

I am married to Ian, who is a Ministry of Defence civil servant.

I have 3 grown up daughters, Ashley, Sammy and Sophie.

We have lived in America, Belgium and Germany as well as various locations in the UK. Ian has served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Although we are a civilian family we have been attached to military bases and lived in married quarters, so we are therefore sympathetic to the various needs of service families.

My Experience

I have been taking care of children of different ages since 1988 in various countries.Whilst living in Belgium the base we were stationed at had 42 different nations. My children attended the Belgian, British and American sections of the school where I volunteered/worked on a regular basis. I also used to be involved in the base community theatre .There were generally at least 30 children in the productions, all of whom I would be closely involved with. My three years in the theatre has given me great knowledge and skills that I can put to good use when working as a childminder.

Although I do not have any formal training to look after children with disabilities or special needs, I have worked with children with various needs including Downs Syndrome, ADHD, behavioural and learning difficulties, special dietary requirements to avoid anaphylactic shock and Aspergers Syndrome. I am willing to undertake training and meet with health specialists to assist with your child should they have any special requirements. My house can be adapted to provide wheelchair access if needed.

My Qualifications

I have attended various childminding courses . Please enquire.

My Availability

My normal hours of operation are 7.30am until 5.30pm.

Please feel free to enquire if additional hours are required.

I am registered for overnight care but this service is only available in exceptional circumstances for children that I care for during the day ,for example if a parent has to go on a course or is posted at short notice.

The setting fosters strong relationships, ensuring children feel safe and secure while focusing on personal, emotional, and social skill development. Independence is encouraged, and parents provide positive feedback. While the overall assessment is good, there is room for improvement in capitalizing on teachable moments to further enhance children's learning experiences.

Genuinely wonderful

5 stars

The first time I spoke with Gill, I sensed she was very calm and professional.When we first met, I was at ease and felt very comfortable with her and I felt a connection. Aniara appeared to be very relaxed and settled into Gill's company very quickly. Aniara comes home happy and enjoys spending time with Gill and the other children. I go to work and know that my baby is in perfect company and is being looked after. There is no one else I would trust with my baby-not even family!
