About Me

Hi parents,

My name is Dana, I am 31 and an Ofsted registered childminder in Colchester.
I live with my partner Jake and am a mother to 2 children, and we have a loveable 12 year old dog called Millie.
My environment is spacious, engaging and lots of opportunities to explore through Montessori inspired resources.
I have a safe, secure garden, including sand pit, ride on equipment and a mud kitchen.

I take the children to local places, such as woodlands, library, shops and parks.

I am a caring, passionate and kind person, with lovely references from my parents. I have over 12 years worth of experience in childcare from newborn to young adults.
I am a hands on person and enjoy making age appropriate activities, along with lots of singing, books and cuddles. I followed the EYFS curriculum.

My working hours:
Monday-Thursday
8am-5pm

Please feel free to message me and I am happy to answer any questions.

Kind regards,
Dana
