My Summary
About Me
I am a mother of 2 girls and live with my husband and children in a house with a big outside space designed by children for children. I offer a home from home setting with a variety of resources to suit every child. I believe that children can make their own choices ,have their own voice and learn through play . I have this in mind when it comes to planning activities for the children. I also find it is important for the children to have the opportunity to take their play outside and therefore I provide enough opportunities to go outside and play.
I am originally from Germany and I am able to speak German to the children if parents wish for their children to learn the language. I have a vast amount of resources in the German language (books, games etc.)

I would recommend this childminder to anyone! My two children love it here. Claudia is brilliant with children (and parents). Her house is equipped with masses of toys, games and art supplies for all ages. The garden is designed with children in mind: with a sound wall, swings, tree house, planting area, sand pit and a massive play house it provides a lovely space for an outdoor play. Claudia ensures that she provides the right stimulation for each age group and ensures that everyone develops well, lending a helping hand to the children and their parents along the way. One of my favourite things is the journals that Claudia keeps for each child. This journal contains a diary of the day, special activities and achievements which are accompanied by photos! It makes a lovely keepsake too!
I definitely would recommend...

My two children (11 and 6) absolutely love spending time here! They skip into the house, looking forward to the day's excitement! They not only receive fantastic, educational care but also loads of fun and a really healthy outlook from their time there.
I would have no reservations recommending this lovely setting, and the fantastic team that work there.
