My Summary
About Me
I have vacancies from September 2025.
Registered Childminder of 26 years, live with my partner and a cat.
I provide high quality, affordable childcare in a relaxed and caring home environment and have a vacancy available.
I take the children to local Children's Centres each week to socialise with other children and trips together, to learn about children's communities and environments, as well as having fun; these include, farms, parks, fruit/veg picking, fire station visits, cinema, bowling and the local library. The children join in with a variety of activites, including lots of crafts (painting, cutting/glueing, playdough, cooking) and follow themes and festivals throughout the year. I have a good sized play room with many toys, educational toys, role play, play kitchen & equipment, puzzles, as well as a garden with many outside bikes, and sand/water play. I am very close to the Bird Sanctuary, where I take the children to explore in all seasons.
I encourage the children to become more independent, which builds on their self-esteem and confidence, which helps their development improve further.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, as well as Baby’sDays online to update children’s development, this is where I add the children’s individual photos, achievements and activities, which they have undertaken in my care; the parents can also access this, for their own child.

Julie has been absolutely fantastic looking after Annabelle over the last year or so and has been hugely instrumental in her development. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed herself and settled in exceedingly easy.
Annabelle’s social skills have improved massively through Julie taking her to various social groups and other outings and has learnt to interact well with other children and her peers, and through this seems to fit in well in any environment. She has enjoyed all her arts and crafts that she does with Julie. The seasonal elements that Julie does with the children are just so thoughtful and fantastic and it has certainly established Annabelle's creative flair!
I wholeheartedly recommend Julie as a childminder, and cannot thank her enough for all that she has done. I genuinely do not know what I would have done without her. She will be missed.

Julie is an absolute gem of a childminder. My daughter went to Julie when she was 1 until 3 when we sadly moved out of the area. If I could’ve picked Julie up and taken her with us when we moved I would have!
Julie is an amazing childminder, my daughter would be so excited to go to Julie, and would show me all the things she had done and places she had been and what she had got up to with Julie.
My daughter came on leaps and bounds while in Julie’s care and it’s all down to Julie!
Two years on from us moving we are still in touch and my daughter still talks about her and misses her - I honestly cannot recommend Julie enough!
Thank you for looking after R for me Julie!

Julie is amazing! She had to step in at the last minute as our circumstances changed. She is a super star.
Our son settled in quickly and couldn’t wait to go back and see Julie the following day. She has a large setting with a lovely playroom and lots of garden toys - he really enjoyed being there.
They did all sorts of arts and crafts and activities but the best bit were the trips; she took the children to the local bird sanctuary, a farm and for daily walks. Our son loved exploring and seeing the different kinds of trees, birds, animals and insects. Julie takes the children there in all the seasons of the year. Our son loves being outdoors so he was always excited to tell us what he had been up to that day.
Julie continued sending photos of our son’s activities via WhatsApp and sent a summary email at the end of the week of what he had been up to.
If our son wasn’t going to nursery (close to our work) then we would happily have kept him there. Definitely recommend!

Thank you so much for your beautiful words Rosemary!
Much appreciated x
Julie has been having my son 2 days a week now since January 2017. I love her as does my 14 month old son.
Julie communicates well on all matters and is professional in her paperwork. Julie is very creative with the activities She leads at her home with my son. And the are very appropriate to what's going on that week etc... (Fab picture received for Chinese New Year and my valentines card made me cry it was so lovely). She also takes my son to various groups, which he now loves (he is a shy boy, so took him a while)
I am thrilled how well the arrangement is going. And couldn't wish for a better childminder.
He adores smokey (Julie's cat) who is ever so good with children and allows my son to play and stoke him (and even follow him around).
Can't recommend Julie enough.

Aww thank you so much!!

More activities to come

My 2 year old daughter spent 1 year with Julie caring for her (before I went on Maternity Leave again) and she loved every minute of it. Julie was very proactive at doing lots of activities with my daughter and the other children - arts, crafts, role playing, educational games, dressing up etc, at home and she also took the time to frequently take them to local pre-school groups for activities, soft play, nursery rhymes as well as trips to local parks, and seasonal trips to see Father Christmas, reindeers etc.
I could see that all the chlidren in Julie's care had a very strong healthy bond with her - she made them feel at home and was also good at routines and structured the day very effectively.
I would definitely recommend her child-minding services.

Thank you Sarah for your lovely words, much appreciated!
I enjoyed looking after your daughter and hope she will come back, with your son, at a later date, when you go back to work.
Looking forward to seeing the new arrival very soon xx
Julie Cared for my 2 daughters, 2 days a week, for 2 years.
Both girls were extremely happy and settled in Julie's care. My youngest daughter, having cried non-stop every day for weeks at her previous childminder, was instantly calm and happy with Julie from her very first day - quite a transformation!
Julie's setting is spacious, clean and tidy, providing a lovely calm environment for the children. She has a large number of toys, games and books, suitable for varying ages. She encourages the children to tidy up after themselves, helping install good habits.
She is always engaging the children in imaginative art and craft, cooking etc., projects, often timely for festivals, world events etc. My girls loved doing these and were always very proud of their work. It is also great that they are learning about cultures, history and the environment at the same time.
Julie takes the children to various groups on a regular basis where they are able to play with other children. She also often takes them on various outings. They have enjoyed trips to museums, parks, farms, the fire station amongst others. They always have a great time on these trips and I am very confident with how well they were being looked after.
The girls always came home on a full stomach having enjoyed a nutritious home-cooked meal that Julie had prepared for them.
I am extremely happy with the way my daughters have been cared for by Julie and would not hesitate to recommend her to other parents.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
I am so glad your girls enjoyed themselves in my setting and still miss them coming here.
I'm sure I'll see them again soon, perhaps in the school holidays.
Much love
Julie
Julie has been our childminder for two years now ever since our son was nearly two. Julie is an extremely patient and organised person who has always tried her best to accommodate our needs. Our son has quickly created an amazing bond with her and enjoyed every day at her setting, this is also because Julie is very creative with her activities both indoor and outdoor. Julie is excellent in describing activities she has done with our son during the day and if any accidents occur as well. She also kept us up to date during the day by sending us pictures via text so we don't miss those precious moments.
Our son is also very keen on her, always asking if he'll be seeing Julie today and always looks forward to when he will be seeing her next. She has created a very special bond with our son and for this we are truly grateful for.
I would like to thank you for an amazing two years that you have been in our son's life and of course we are extremely grateful for your flexibility to help us when we were in need. We have never had an issues with you and because of this you have made our lives a lot easier and stress free as first time parents.
We will be more than happy to be contacted to provide a reference.

I will miss him and hope he enjoys his new adventure!
It would be great to hear how he gets on
Much love

Julie looked after my son and daughter for two years.
Both children loved going to Julie's and often my son would attempt to eat her out of house and home as he enjoyed her dinners so much!
My son had previously suffered a heart condition and potentially required extra support in event of an accident etc. Julie was unfazed and prepared for this which provided me with peace of mind whenever my children where in her care.
They only reason for changing childcare ( much to mine and their despair ) was due to moving away. I would not hesitate to use Julie again if only we lived closer!

Thank you Veronica for your lovely review. Did I really look after your two for two years? It was lovely to meet up again with you all last month, also to meet your newest member of the family.
I am available in the school holidays for your children, due to moving a little nearer to your new address, should you need me again. It's a shame I cannot pick them up from school, due to other commitments with other schools.

Just wanted to leave a review for Julie for anyone looking to use her services.
Julie was my daughters first childminder when I went back to work and was great at reassuring me my daughter would be fine while I was gone, the first few weeks she sent me lots of photos and updates during the day which really helped me with the settling in.
My daughter was very happy at Julie's and came on really well.
Julie is very friendly and easy to get on with and has a lovely home with great toys for the children to play with while they were at home.
My daughter especially enjoyed the craft and showing me her 'work'
