My Summary

Ofsted Registered

About Me

I am an Ofsted registered childminder close to Westcroft and Grove park. I have an enhanced CRB check and fully insured. I am paediatric first aid trained and have successfully completed the "stepping into childminding course" I have also completed and passed a Level 3 Diploma in children and young peoples workforce. I have been actively childminding since November 2010. In my last inspection (June 2017) I received 'Good' with 'Outstanding' in two areas.

I am mum to three lovely boys aged 16, 13 and 6 who love the company of other children : ) I am dedicated to providing a safe, warm, nurturing and encouraging environment for any child in my care. I follow EYFS to help a child meet and exceed their learning journey.
I was previously a working mum and had childminders so I understand how important it is to find the right child care.
I have a fun, loving household which is always the hype of activity with children. I encourage learning through play so we participate in a variety of fun and stimulating activities including messy play, painting and drawing, building and construction, puzzles and shape sorting, songs and rhymes, story time, baking, and good old play time with a large collection of stage and age appropriate toys. We enjoy going to the park to feed the ducks and the playground, Soft play, story time at the library, toddler groups and the local children's centre. I also have a safe, secure and well equipped garden.
If you choose for your child to become part of our home then please find comfort in the knowledge that I am dedicated, reliable and will treat your child with love and respect as I do my own.

I have a vacancy for 0-3 years. Monday snd tuesday 7:30am - 6pm

I currently do the school run to St. Marys infants and Junior school in Carshalton. so welcome any parent that requires my help with the school run : )

My Experience

I have bags of mummy experience which allows me to understand the demands parents have. I was a working mum and had so much interest from friends and family to look after their child I decided that child care was where my talents lay. I gave up work to train and commit myself to providing a level of service that I myself would look for in a child minder.
I am Level 3 qualified and I attend regular training sessions to further my knowledge, and provide the best possible environment for children.
