Pick and mix pasta being prepared for the pavilion after school club. Its definitely one of the favourites with the children! They love having a choice and we promote healthy choices and also talk about treats in moderation. Teaching the children about healthy eaten and choices is so important for us as a setting 🥰

Hello everyone!
I am delighted to announce something VERY EXCITING!
As you know after school care is extremely limited in our local area….well not anymore!

I Am sure you will agree this is a great addition, as I know after school care is highly sought after!

This month's theme is love and kindness, what a perfect way to learn how to share and engage with our friends, peers an adults around us. A perfect home corner is essential to a child's development. This is where we see the magic happen

A bit about me
I started my adult life with the intentions of working in the performing arts. I spent most of my life training as a dancer and love performing, still do! When I was 21 and out of university I knew the only other job that would interest me was working with children.
I started working full time in a nursery in London and moved on to 2 more nurseries before meeting my husband and having our eldest child Rose. Who is 6 this weekend! Whilst pregnant with Rose I completed my level 6 Early Years Teacher status as I decided I wanted to become a manager of a nursery or become a reception teacher.
Taking Rose back to work with me at the nursery was hard and after only a few months I decided it wasn't the best fit for us as a family and my mum suggested I tried childminding.
I'd never really heard about childminders before ,I knew my mum had done it for a while when I was little and between us we knew it was roughly the same training as of those in a nursery but definitely not as much hard work as it ended up being!
I loved it instantly. Freedom and doing it my way :) it was a challenge having my own child too but it was great for her development and I formed strong bonds and friendships with the parents.
Fast forward a few years we've got married, moved house , gone through a 2 year pandemic and popped out our lovely twins Tommy and Millie! I now work with 2 other assistants and we are very proud of what we have achieved including a good rating from ofsted only a few weeks after having the twins!
I'm always very strong minded about how childminders deserve respect and I really think our work is underestimated. My home is built around my business and its a long week, with my weekends and evenings being used often for work too. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Love our mad house and always will :)
