What we do
As a registered childminder and a fully qualified primary school teacher, I aim to provide a childminding service that allows all children to develop, learn, explore and gain life-long skills in a safe, secure, home-based environment. I will consider the care of any child no matter what their range of needs or requirements. I will assess the needs of the child and whether I can accommodate their needs as well as taking into consideration the needs of the children that I already care for.
I offer childcare for children ages 0 - 12 years. After school care, breakfast club, full and half day session as well as wrap around to Charles Williams primary school in Caerleon, Newport, South Wales.

| Are you able to care for children whose main language is neither English nor Welsh? I have been a primary school teacher for 8 yeas where I have been expected to be a teacher of everyone and especially children who are EAL.
