I am a registered childminder and have been minding since 2009. I live in St Marychurch with my husband and our 3 children. I have a BA degree in Childcare and Education, as well as relevant qualifications in Paediatric First Aid, Food Hygiene and Child Protection training. I’ve achieved qualifications in Makaton and Level 1 in Forest school. 

I have previous experience in nursery management and have worked with children from birth – late primary school. I have experience with SEND including various needs such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Hearing and Visual impairments and speech and language delays. If you are looking for a minder to support a child with SEND please contact me to discuss.

I accept children using their Early Years Entitlement for 2, 3 and 4 year old (15 and 30 hours).  

I live in a cottage style home with an outdoor area for Early Years children. We attend a variety or local groups and work in close partnership with other local childminders. We make the best use of the lovely beaches and outdoor play areas we are so lucky to have nearby. I prioritise outdoor play and adventures, along with lots of messy play, art and stories. 

Nurturing daily routines are at the heart of my provision and lots of time for free play.
