My Summary
About Me
I am an ofsted registered childminder, I work from my home setting with my daughter, Kate.
We live in West Heath very close to main bus routes and both Northfield and Longbridge train station are within walking distance.
I have 4 grown up children and 12 grandchildren, Kate has 2 teenagers of her own.
We are home from home child care providers. We love nothing more than having fun and lots of laughs but learning as we go. We want all children in our care to grow and thrive as individuals.
We usually have fun packed days, where learning through play is never a chore. We often attend local playgroups or childminder support groups and love a day at the farm with a picnic or just a wild walk in the woods. But you can’t beat good old messy play (spare clothes WILL be needed!)
Snacks and home cooked meals are provided.
We work closely with families to make sure every child’s needs are met, and regularly update parents on their child’s progress. We work flexible hours depending on parents requirements.
We often attend the latest courses available and stay up to date with training and legislation.
We can also offer 2-3 year old funded places and also 4 year old funded places. We also registered for the tax free childcare scheme.
If you would like any more information or have any questions please get in touch.

Thank you for your lovely review. We have absolutely loved our time with your precious little man, he is such an amazing character and we are so sad to see him go. We wish you all the best and can’t wait to her from you soon
Dawn and Kate have been looking after my 9 month old and I cannot fault their incredible care. My daughter’s development has come on leaps and bounds and she loves her days with them. It’s made it so much easier to return to work when I know she is in such amazing hands and loves her time there. She will stay with them until she starts in school.
