About me
I’m a qualified, registered and experienced childminder with additional experience working as a nursery practitioner and teaching assistant. I’m also a mother and a grandmother and I strive to create a safe haven in my home-from-home setting where children can feel welcome, secure and make new friends. I love watching little minds grow and hearing children’s laugher.
I am a local artist and seamstress, children will have the ability to learn real arts and crafts techniques and explore their creativity. I’m also an avid Entomologist – no child will leave my care scared of bugs!
For a truly unique and flexible childcare service, where children will have experiences tailored to their interests and needs, get in touch today!
