About Me
CQS plus CHILDMINDER
Hi I am a CQS plus Childminder and I have been registered with CIW for 27 years . I am also a Childminder for my local authority CCBC and attend regular training which is relevant to my job.
I have 2 children of my own aged 26 years and 23 years.
I live in a 4 bedroom detached house on a lovely estate in Blackwood with my children. I am very close to the local school and it's within a 3 minute walk. Blackwood primary is the only school I take and collect children this is either by waking or I can also use my 7 seater car too. I have a well equipped playroom with lots of toys and equipment for the children to use. Children in my care enjoy dress up,story telling, music and dancing time, arts and crafts , etc. I also take the children in my care to regular toddler groups , out on fun days and walks.
The outside garden is very large, enclosed and safe for play. I have outdoor classroom log cabin plus equipment such as scooters,trikes,sand/water pit, mud kitchen ,playhouse,games etc
Patio area can be shaded with the sun canopy that is attached to the house in hot weather.
Only healthy meals and snacks are provided and are cooked daily and are included as part of my fees. We have a gorgeous friendly Cockapoo and she loves the children.
I am registered to offer -
* 3-4 year old funding
* flying start through ccbc.
* assisted places

Registered for tax free childcare.
Thank you

We have been with Donna for a few months for our son who is classed as disabled. Donna has been so reassuring and professional that it allowed me to go back to work (something I was anxious about) as any new parent. Donna has made a huge difference to our lives. She goes above and beyond with her effort and input into our sons care.
