I realise I carry a huge responsibility to care for your child and my own children have been to childminders themselves, so I am aware of the concerns and queries parents may have. I aim to provide first class care in which your child can feel happy, safe and secure, I am a firm believer that kids should be kids and give them the tools to be able to play, learn and develop at there own pace while having lots of fun and being creative. I love the outdoors and taking my own kids out to explore the world around them, whether it be a trip to the local park, a walk in the woods or just making hideaways in the garden out of sheets or going on a bug hunt. I promote a healthy atmosphere and encourage physical activities and healthy eating habits. I also Follow a more gentle parenting approach for those that chose to baby wear, breast feed, baby led weaning and cloth bum. I will fully support your needs and will always do my best to adapt to every child's routine. my motto if i were to have one would be;
Love Laugh Learn
I am a professional childcare practitioner and educator, with fun being at the forefront for our young people of the future.
