What we do
We are a family childminding team. Myself, Alison and my daughter Lucy are both registered childminders, while my other daughter Abby who works with us part time, is a fully qualified childminding assistant. My husband Ian is also fully qualified and volunteers with us part time in between his normal job. We provide a childminding service for children 0-4 years. We have a range of resources to suit all children, and their care and development is at the heart of everything we do. We provide home cooked meals and the children are encouraged to help prepare these. We spend lots of time outdoors. Our setting is mainly English, with lots of incidental Welsh. We also offer Flying Start provision.
