About Me

I am 40 years old. I am a fully qualified nursery nurse and experienced nanny. I hold a current PVG Scheme membership and became a fully registered childminder in September 2016.

DAYTIME CARE SERVICES
I provide a professional childminding service for babies through to pre-school.

The Care Inspectorate restrict the number of children in childminding services to 3 under the age of 5 years (including childminder’s own children).  This allows me to provide a more focused level of care for your child and lets me spend more personalised time with each child, adapting to their individual, personal and developmental needs.

Care is delivered in the comfort of a home environment, offering children a relaxed, familiar setting full of activities such as drawing, doing jigsaws, reading, board games and more . 

But our days are not just spent at home.  We also attend toddler groups, outings to libraries, parks, etc.

WRAP-AROUND SCHOOL CARE SERVICES
For Primary School children, I provide various school wrap-around services.

Offering care before and after school, I am happy to provide afternoon snacks.

In the mornings I am happy to accompany children to school, ensuring they are safe and arrive on time.  And at the end of their school day I am happy to collect them again.

The relaxed home setting allows your child to wind-down after their day at school.  If required, homework can be done at our dining room table, and I am happy to assist them where appropriate too.

I also provide various toys and activities for primary aged children to encourage their imagination and fun side too.

HOLIDAY CHILDCARE
During school holiday periods, I am happy to offer extended childcare services for children who normally only attend before or after school.

As well as providing extended care for existing children during holiday periods, I am also happy to accommodate parents looking for adhoc holiday cover where availability allows.

As the holiday periods allow more flexibility from the usual daily routine, I like to take the opportunity to do special activities during the holidays.  This may include day trips such as visits to the sea, family attractions and nature walks.

OTHER INFORMATION
I live with my husband Kenny and our son Daniel who was born in January 2016. We have one medium sized dog called Alfie. He is well behaved and trained. He is used to being around children.

I can cook. I love working with children. It's such a rewarding job to be a part of their lives.

I can provide excellent references from all my previous employers and regular babysitting families.
