My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Kym Mowles and I have been an ofsted registered childminder since 1996. My last Ofsted inspection was January 2020 where I was graded outstanding. I have 3 children of my own and 6 grandchildren. I live in a small village on the west side of Ipswich in a 3 bedroom semi which has a huge back garden full of toys for the children to enjoy, this includes a large purpose built wooden fort and various ride on toys. Indoor games & toys are fun and educational. I do not have any animals except for a goldfish.I enjoy taking the children out whenever possible on walks, trips to the forest, zoo and the beach. For pre-school children I regularly attend mums & tots and play centres. Twice a week I get together with other childminders in my home where we have lots of fun painting, singing, dancing and baking cakes. I offer a safe, happy and warm environment for all children and parents are welcome to visit at any time.
My Experience
The experience I have is being a mum for the past 39 years and a registered childminder for 29 years. I work closely with parents/carers keeping them informed of how their child is settling in and activities we do during the day. I work closely with the local primary school and pre-school.
My Qualifications
I have an NVQ level 3 in childcare and a level 3 in playwork. I also have current certificates for Food Safety in Catering Level 2, Paediatric First Aid, Working in Partnership with Parents,Safegauarding Children (roles & responsibilities), epi-pen training.
I hold various other certificates for attending courses and seminars which I will be happy to discuss/show you.

Kym Mowels has been my boys childminder for about 5 years an what a wonderful childminder she is, my 2 boys love going to Kyms house as it's fun as they put it, Kym does activites an days out which as a working mum I can't always find the time to do, if Kym was to give childminding up I don't think my boys would want to go to another childminder an I personnally don't think I could trust someone else to look after them.

Thank you for the lovely review you have given me. Your boys are a pleasure to look after and I always look forward to seeing them.
My son loves attending Dollie Mixtures, after not settling into nursey for months. I started to look for a childminder, I am very fussy and took my time to look at several different childminders. As soon as Nyah walked into Kym's home he started to play at other childminders he would stand by my side and cry. She came highly recommended. She is very flexible and I am so grateful for her. My son is now 3 and has been going to Kyms since he was 1 years old. I felt comfortable leaving my baby with Kym, she had accommodated all our needs. My son loves her so much. :) she has a lovely big garden and plenty of space Indoors for the children.
