Bright Beginnings Childminding
Childminder in Nafferton, Driffield (YO25)
Donna Jamieson
About me
Hi all. I’m a registered childminder based in Nafferton, East Riding of Yorkshire.
I became a Childminder to share the knowledge, experience and passion I have for Early Years Development as well as being a fully present parent for my daughter.
My journey began when I became a mother in 2020 to a beautiful daughter who was born at 31 weeks premature. I immersed myself into the world of Sensory and Brain Development to help my daughter thrive. I then started a business to share my experience and successfully ran Baby Sensory Development classes and events for 2 and a half years, offering support to many families. This included a large audience of online families through the Pandemic.
I have created a magical Hygge setting in my warm home-based setting that offers every child a place they feel they belong in, where days are unhurried and they can grow at their own pace.
