My Summary
About Me
CURRENTLY HAVE TUESDAY AND FRIDAY SPACE AVAILABLE.
My name is Jo Garbett. I live with my husband Matt and 3 children. Lily was born in 2006, Austin 2011, Calum 2016.
I have been working with children since 1998. Before starting out as a childminder, I was a private sole charge Nanny, working with children from new-born to 16 years old. When my final nanny job came to a natural close after 14 years with the same family, I decided to become a childminder. This way I can offer help at affordable rates to local families wishing to return to work and provide a safe and fun environment for their child/children.
About the setting
The children will have use of the following rooms:
• Playroom- this is the main playroom which has all the toys, books and exciting things
• Lounge- children will have use of this room for TV, quiet time when others are sleeping
• Kitchen- where arts and crafts take place, as well as baking and meal times!
• Garden- the garden is fully secure and usable all year round with many outdoor toys to use and explore.
• Bedroom- there is space for any child to have a sleep if required. There is a travel cot for younger children and airbeds for the older children who require sleep.
Outings
I shall take your children to local playgroups/classes etc. the cost of these will be included in the fees. Certain activities with higher entrance fees will incur an additional charge, however I shall notify you and seek permission before hand.
Holidays

Sickness
If your child is unwell, full fees will still be charged. If I am sick I will not charge.
