About Me

Currently awaiting pre-registration visit from Ofsted but hopeful it will be sooner rather than later! We are ready to welcome you to the setting once Ofsted have visited!

Childminder based in Liphook with availability and a waiting list ??

The setting is a homely environment, located near Liphook train station. It has an open plan kitchen/play room and we are currently designing our outdoor classroom which will be weatherproof to ensure outdoor access is all year round!

The setting itself has been created using a lot recycled and repurposed resources, with as many natural resources as possible. There is a loose parts section, to encourage children to use their own imagination and develop their own ideas, a home corner which changes themes regularly, self selecting activities and resources, messy play table and a quiet reading nook!

Our outdoor area has different areas available for the children to explore and we are developing an outdoor classroom to ensure there is a weatherproof area for all year round.

A big love we have is being outside and exploring in nature, we will be planning, as part of the children’s developmental journey, Learning Outside sessions. In which we will explore local forests, fields and more! We really feel like this is an important part of learning and helps children develop their confidence and thrive!!

We do have a dog who is very old and a little blind, he currently goes to work with my partner and isn’t around much in the day because of this!

If you’re looking for a child lead, nature loving childminder, then please enquire!

My Experience

Nanny
Started nannying in February 2019 to currently, have cared for four families long term since Nannying. As well as working for a nannying agency.

Lead Practitioner Nursery Nurse
Working in a Nursery ages ranging from 3 months to 4 years, working in a team to provide 45 under fours with a safe, caring, and fun educational environment. I am a key worker to 11 children, providing them with weekly planned activities linked with their current interests to encourage learning in particular areas of the EYFS. Helping to lead the staff in our room, arranging outings and setting up the room daily with water play, messy play, outside areas, painting and small world set ups for them to explore. I also help to serve up a range of meals and snacks to all the children.

Childminder
2012-2018
Working from my home as a childminder I provided care for a large amount of children over that time, still having regular contact with the families to this day. I was named outstanding/good from Ofsted due to my setting and my practises. I provided funding for the children in my care who were eligible, providing education to all. I provided the children in my care with a safe, loving base for the children to rely on and seek comfort from as well as taking them on many trips, providing a range of education activities and encouraging them to join in with cooking. I also worked with other professionals to help children with their needs working with speech therapists, physical therapists and the services for young children. As well as all the childcare responsibilities I was in sole charge of my business providing invoices, policies and procedures, completing the necessary paperwork, funding forms and lots more.

Childminding assistant
2009-2012
Growing up as a childminded child it was in my DNA, being very maternal I started to be trained by my mother as her assistant to become a childminder. My duties in this role where to learn what I didn’t know already having lived with my mother all my life with her as a childminder I knew how to care for the children. She taught me how to run a childcare business as well as updating me on laws and regulations I had to abide by when running my own childcare setting.

Beauty therapist
2005-2009
Working in a range of different beauty salons I provided a wide range of treatments to my clients, learning how to be professional at all times and provide that friendly face people can de stress to when relaxing. Working as a team with students that came to learn from me about the trade I found the whole experience a big learning curve and I will carry those skills with me forever.
