I have been caring for children for over 40 years. As well as being a registered childminder I have worked in a nursery. I have also run parent and toddler groups through the Pre School Learning Alliance.

I have worked with children who have different strengths, from different backgrounds and where English is not their first language.

I value the individuality that each child brings, recognising that every child learns, grows and develops in their own way.

Children enjoy a broad range of activities in my setting including drawing, writing, role play, painting, modelling, singing, and dancing. I also take children outdoors where they can enjoy activities in the nearby parks. Furthermore, on outings to places like city farm and city zoo.

As well as offering school drop offs and pick-ups, I also offer homework support for all ages.

I am an experienced childminder, childminding since 2015.

I am flexible and also provide short term care.
