About Me

I have been childminding since 2001 and have enjoyed every minute.

Changing from a fast paced London Career of 14 years has been my best decision yet, it enabled me to be at home with my own children while they were young and at school

I love seeing each child flourish and grow in my care and move on to bigger and better things with confidence.

Each time a new little person crosses the doorstep I encourage them to develop and learn to be the best they can possisibly be. I support parents enjoying their children and help them to juggle their working lives and being a parent as much as possible.

My home is at a cul-de-sac position in a private drive and I have all the resources anyone could wish for in days full of fun and wonder! The garden is secure and used alot for learning outdoors and enjoying nature.

I have 2 little dogs who have grown very used to little people around the house.

I enjoy sports and being outdoors and adore my family.

I work with two wonderful assistants, both have been with me for a number of years now. There is ALWAYS a lap to sit on and time for a cuddle and a story.

My Experience

Ofsted graded OUTSTANDING for the third time running in December 2019.

I have faced a variety of challenges over the years and have supported children and their families through a number of difficulties, including illness, bereavement and SEND.

I have experience in working with children with additional needs, such as ASD, GDD and Aspergers
