My Summary
About Me
I have always had a genuine love of children, so I trained to become a registered childminder 15 years ago and created my own business called Ladybird Tots.
I have 2 grown up children of my own who now have their own family, so I have been blessed with 3 beautiful grandsons. One daughter Abigail now works with me as my assistant. She has plenty of experience with children, for one having her own child and she previously worked in a child environment.
We feel it is important for parents to know that their children are safe and cared for just the same as I would treat my own grandchildren. Childminding is a home from home experience and we strive to deliver that daily. We enjoy helping the children with their development and preparing them for school.
I have 3 dachshund dogs who have been brought up around the children and are extremely friendly and gentle.
My Experience
I have previously worked in nurseries, pre schools and junior schools, so I have plenty of experience from 0-11 years of age.
My Qualifications
I am an Ofsted registered childminder with an assistant. We are DBS checked and have completed our first aid training in infants and adults. We are also trained in safeguarding children.
