My Summary
About Me
I am an ofsted registered childminder based in picket twenty. I currently work with my husband as my assistant, we have 2 daughters, soon to be 7 and 4years old. We have a husky called Indie, she is good around children and has separate areas to play away from the children.
I have been Childminding since September 2019, and I have been working in childcare since I left college, after studying childcare in 2009. I am passionate about supporting children learn and develop through their interests and play. I also have a degree in Childhood, youth and community studies.
The whole of our house is registered by Ofsted, we use the downstairs area living room, kitchen diner area, the garden and mainly our new purpose built cabin, which is our playroom
We have an enclosed garden with a patio, grass and barked area for children to play. We love messy, sensory play and getting creative, we also really enjoy going on outings.
