My Summary
About Me
*no availability*
Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my profile. My name's Julie and I've been an Ofsted Registered Childminder for over 9 years, prior to this I was working as a nanny. I love working with children and all the fun it brings!
My role... As a childminder I provide a caring home from home environment, ensuring children feel welcome, safe and cared for. I support the children, allowing them to learn and develop through fun and play to fulfil my role of delivering the EYFS. A lot of our day is spent doing child led activities, following their interests with planned adult led time to help children reach their milestones, be proud of their achievements and become confident, independent and overtime supporting them to be school ready.
Your child... To track children's development, I use an online system that enables me to record information and allows parents to log onto their account and access to all their child's records. This allows observations, photos etc to be uploaded by parents also, so we can work in partnership.
My family and our home... We have a very happy, welcoming and spacious home with dedicated playroom for children to enjoy, with a range of activities: play kitchen, arts and crafts, baking, construction, soft toys, resources for role play/pretend play, lots of books, jigsaws and games, dance and music to name a few, and a separate quiet room for resting or sleeping. Outdoor activities are a crucial part in a child's development; we have a dedicated outdoor area with a playhouse, ride-ons, scooters, slide, sand and waterplay and games such as hopscotch, hula-hoops, skittles etc
Out and about... As well as our garden space, I am close to 3 large parks to enable the children to have outdoor play daily, exploring nature and the outdoors and have access to large playground equipment. We also make visits to local playgroups, the library, farm, local shops and day trips during the school holidays.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like a chat or want to arrange to pop over to see us :) in s

My son went to Julie's from 17 months old after a failed nursery attempt. I was very apprehensive about a childminder in general and I saw 5 until I finally met Julie. I instantly felt comfortable with Julie, as did my child. Given he is a shy and introvert little boy I knew she was the one for us. That was 2 years ago and since Julie has looked after him as I would, he runs off into her home in a morning and makes himself comfortable. Her home is always immaculately clean and there is so much space including a brilliant playroom, which is full of age appropriate toys. I decided not to send my son to school as he has learnt so much at Julie's I want to keep him there as long as possible. I can't thank Julie enough for caring for my little boy to the exceptionally high standard she does and making him part of her lovely family.

My youngest son was with Julie from the age of 1 till
He left to start school last September . I cannot rate and thank Julie enough for everything she did, and continues to do for us. Being my last baby I was very apprehensive about sending him anywhere yet Julie made him a part of her family and he absolutely adored going there, so much so he still goes for the odd play date even now he’s left. Julie follows the early years curriculum and I chose to not send my son to nursery as I felt he was learning more with Julie than he would’ve at nursery and this has been proven right now he’s finally in school. My son loved every minute there and I always knew he was safe and loved as if he was at home. The children have the most wonderful playroom and Julie often takes them out to arranged days with other Childminders and also to regular playgroups. I cannot thank Julie and her family enough for the wonderful fun learning environment my son was in and would advise anyone seeking childcare to get in touch with her...Thank you Julie from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for us. x

My son has been under Julie's care since he was 9 months old. I can honestly say from the moment I met Julie my mind was made up. I also chose not to send my son to a pre school as I found he was learning more and developing well under Julie's care. Julie works to a curriculum and makes learning fun with park trips, painting, role play. As well as a loving and caring environment. Julie looks after every child as her own and supports any development needs your child may have. My son was not sleeping and struggling with bed time, with julies help together we helped to get a routine back and understanding of the importance of bedtime. Julie rewards with stickers which are a hit. My son has now also become a lunchtime helper which he is super proud of. Couldn't recommend anyone more than I can Julie. I will also miss her when my son goes to school september, as she's been a huge support to me a first time mom. Thank you x

My little girl has been with Julie since January 2017 and she is without doubt the most wonderful, caring, kind and loving childminder. My daughter sees it as her 2nd home and absolutely loves being there. The learning and development that Julie provides is brilliant. Cannot recommend highly enough :--)

Blake started with Julie before he was 1, we were new to the area originally being from London so picking someone was so important! From the moment we met Julie we were at ease Blake is so happy with Julie and her family. Julie has such a calming way with all the children.
She has helped blakes learning and development so well, it amazes me how far he's come. She's always helping them learn through doing fun things, like going to the park, farms and playing in her garden! The environment and setting is lovely.
I can recommend Julie very highly
