What we do
I have been a childminder for over 17 years and am a mother of three young adult children. I am passionate about childminding and enjoy taking the children on outings to the beach, local parks, libraries etc. We spend a lot of time outside - taking walks in the woods and making dens. Doing crafts and being creative is also very much part of our day. I believe children flourish in a home environment, with children of all ages - playing, eating, socialising, and learning together!
Other Facilities - Small world play, a selection of board games in Welsh and English as well as a wide range of outdoor toys - bikes, scooters, hoola hoops & balls. There is also a selection of creative craft activities. We have a home corner, a lovely garden as well as a garden we have built in the woods with swing & a slide.
