What we do
I've been a Registered Childminder since 2004 and have had many more years experience working with children - providing a loving, secure and fun environment.
I was awarded the top grading of 'Excellent' in my CIW (Care Inspectorate Wales) inspection . I've scored top marks in the feedback questionnaires from parents and have extremely positive references available to view. My home is also inspected by the Food Standards Agency and I received the top rating of 5 for hygiene and food safety awareness. I provide nutritious snacks included in the price and have completed the course 'Community Food & Nutrition for Early Years' (Open College Network course).Certificates are available to view.
I keep the number of children I look after low (usually just 2) so that your child gets quality care and attention. Most days your child will play with a small group of children of pre-school age as I regularly meet up with a friendly, caring group of childminders and nannies.
