About Me

I am a Tiney registered childminder with a wealth of Early years experience.
I am based in Horsmonden. I offer full day care for babies and young children, Monday - Thursday 7.30am - 6pm. I also offer wrap around care for older children, with pick up and drop off available from Horsmonden Primary Academy and Horsmonden Kindergarten.

I am extremely passionate about early years education and the vital role in plays in helping children to achieve their full potential. As a qualified teacher, I am very experienced in meeting children's learning and development needs within the Early Years Foundation Stage; identifying and planning for children's individual needs.

Within my spacious setting, I offer children a wide range of stimulating and engaging, play based, learning opportunities both inside and out to help them learn the core skills that are fundamental in helping them develop into awesome humans. This includes things such as a range of outings to local places, such National trust properties, local woodland and parks, libraries and various toddler groups, planting and growing a range of plants and vegetables in the garden, messy play, role play and small world, singing and sharing books and stories. Time outside in nature is a big part of my setting, being a lover of the outdoors and Forest School trained, I follow the Forest School ethos where possible to help the children to develop their resilience, risk management, confidence and self esteem.

The children will receive fresh, home cooked food daily. Where possible, they will be encouraged to help with the preparation and cooking of meals and snacks, helping to develop their independence.

As a mother myself with two young children, currently aged 4 and 11 months, I understand the importance of finding the right setting for both you and your child. I hope to be able to offer just that to your family. Please get in touch if you would like to know more or to arrange a visit. I look forward to hearing from you.
