Service Description

Service Description:
I have been an Ofsted Registered childminder for over 27 years, looking after children in my own home. My daughter works with me as my assistant.

I have experience of looking after children from 6 weeks old. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your child with someone new, so I work hard to make the process as easy as possible for you all.
I offer quality childcare in a home based setting with a strong emphasis on meeting the individual needs of the children in my care. I work closely with parents to ensure these needs are met. I provide a wide variety of activities including art & craft, dressing up, messy play, outdoor play, story time, singing & music and play with a huge range of toys & equipment. The children in my care are happy & have a lot of fun!

I have level 3 and 4 qualifications in Early Years Childcare & Education and attend regular training courses. My daughter and I both hold current Paediatric First Aid certificates and I am fully insured. My daughter has a level 3 early years qualification as well as certificates from the many courses she has studied.

We both have experience of looking after children with additional needs, particularly autism and speech & language delay. We have experience of using PECS, Attention Autism and of planning targeted activities. We are confident when dealing with other professionals and are happy for them to visit the setting to see the children.

We are able to offer funded sessions for 2, 3 & 4 year olds. Up to 30 hours of free or funded childcare per week. Please contact me if you would like more details on how your child could benefit from funded hours.

I am registered to accept payment through Tax-Free Childcare accounts

We have 2 indoor cats.
