My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder in the beautiful community spirited village of Eynsham. I was inspected in September 2024 and i was graded 'GOOD'. I have three children aged 12, 10 and 7 years old. I enjoy helping children to learn and discover new things and be part of their journey of self development and achievement. We make full use of all the facilities in Eynsham including the parks, church groups, library, we also go to local attractions such as Blenheim, millets. Cogges farm, Woodstock museum, The bus museum, soft plays etc and we have a lovely enclosed secure garden which can offer many varied learning experiences.
My Experience
I have been a registered childminder for over 9 years now from Sept 2015 - to current day, i have had 2 Ofsted grading inspections and have been graded GOOD both times. My most recent inspection was September 2024. I have three young children of my own and I have been a qualified youth worker for 6 years before becoming a childminder working with young people aged 8 - 24 and I also led a young parents group for parents (age 16 - 24) and their children to make new friends, share their experiences and feel part of a non judgemental, friendly supported group. This allowed young people to access health visitors and have people visit to do talks on weaning, potty training etc for people who did not have the confidence to access these facilities elsewhere but who were happy and felt safe to access them at the young parents group. I have also volunteered abroad at camp america working with young children on a farm aged 6 - 10, in a school in Kenya and ghana working with 6-12 year olds and at a school in Ecuador working with children aged 8-12. I then started a family of my own and my children are now age 12, 10 and 7 years old.

Tina has been looking after our now 1 year old and has made what i thought would be a traumatic experience (leaving my daughter for the first time) amazingly smooth! My daughter really enjoys spending time there and has benefitted in all ways including socially & emotionally. Tina has a lovely, clean, warm, safe house and big garden and a great variety of toys. She is really tuned in to the child's needs and gives fantastic detail of what my daughter done in the day, how she was, any likes, dislikes, wow moments etc. I trust her and feel totally safe and happy leaving my baby with her.
