Childminding Monday to Friday I am a Ofsted registered childminder who offers flexible childcare. I am a married mother of two girls.

This is hard for me to say and this will be my last post as Tiny Steps from 16th December this is to confirm that for the time being I will be no longer childminding. This year has been a personal challenging one and as such I have decided to cease minding for the foreseeable future and make changes to work in with my family and the changes that have happened. Childminding is extremely rewarding and a amazing if sometimes difficult job and I want to thank all my parents and kids young and old it has been my pleasure to be a part of your journey. I wish you all success and happiness in the future. Thank you all.

It's that time of year when things change and kids move on. This child and his family have been in my life for the past ten years or so they are a crazy family who my family love very much. This little boy will be starting full time school in a different village and will be moving on in September. He is a kind beautiful person inside and out who has been a part of this family and a privilege to teach, hug and watch blossom into the lovely young man that he is. To him and his family our door is always open come what may and we wish him all the joy of his future and to reach his maximum potential. We will miss you but this family is our extended family so never very far away # # #
