My Summary
About Me
I love childminding and have been graded as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted at my last two inspections. I used to work as a Primary School teacher before having my own three children, a girl (2008) a boy (2010) and another little girl (2016). We are a very happy family and we enjoy having other children join us to play and have fun together. We particularly enjoy being out in nature and tending to our garden. We also have two bunnies, Beatrix and Benji. We regularly go out to playgrounds, parks, farms, the library, story and singing sessions, indoor soft play centres etc. When we are at home I provide plenty of activities, games, toys to keep everybody happy and learning.
My Experience
I qualified as a teacher in 2003 specialising in Early Years and Key Stage One and taught for 8 years. I have been childminding since 2012. I am also a mum of three :-)

Jess has been our childminder for our 2 boys for nearly 5 years now. She is amazing and provides such an amazing caring loving family setting. My boys love the bunnies, the garden, all the toys - everything! We cannot fault anything about the care that Jess provides. Would recommend her to anyone.

5 months since my son has stopped going to Jess and he still asks for her now. (Started preschool) She is amazing with the things she does with the kids and keeps you very informed of their progress. I couldn't have asked for a better person to look after my child.

My daughter is 7, and due to our short stay in the UK, was not accepted into a school. Due to working 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week, Jessica agreed to take her for the duration. Jessica had my daughters attention the whole time. My daughter came away knowing the times tables for her new school year in Australia. Jessica has a wonderful welcoming family to my daughter and her needs. Thank you Jessica, we are sad that we had to leave your care, for a different locum area.
