About Us

I knew from a very young age that all I wanted to do is work with children and of course have loads of my own!

In 1992 I become a mum and in 2000 I became an Ofsted Registered Childminder.

I pride myself on providing the children with a friendly, happy and safe "home from home" environment where children can learn through play and develop at their own pace in a safe yet challenging environment.

All children are welcomed into my home and we encourage the other children to support us with this. The needs of all the children are paramount and we aim to meet these as best as we possibly can by providing a wide range of exciting activities and new experiences that will engage them.

We encourage the children to have respect for others and to understand the boundaries that are in place for their well-being. We help children to think of the implications of their own actions on themselves and others around them and encourage the use of manners and sharing. We celebrate different Cultures, Beliefs and Festivals from around the world which aids mutual respect for one another so that our setting remains inclusive and diverse. We are happy to care for children with special needs or requirements providing we feel we can provide the care they need.
