About this home

I have a large and welcoming play room at the back of our home that's dedicated to childminding: full of toys, sensory experiences, books and learning opportunities. We enjoy regular outings throughout the local area, such as the library and the Triangle leisure centre.

I also have good links with another local childminder - and really enjoy buddying up for fun local outings. We enjoy lots of messy play activities together, and create lots of opportunities for the little ones to make friends.

About our tiney childminder

Before being a childminder I worked in Social Work for 17 years – until my team devoted to play work and parent support was dispersed.

My specialty was in Video Interaction Guidance, and I am trained in child-led play that promotes self-esteem and confidence.

I have worked with children all my life: from a babysitter, Nursery Assistant, to singing sessions in my daughter’s pre-school.

We have a warm and loving home, and two enthusiastic children of our own who love to join in the fun.

Unique highlights

Outside Space

We have a very large secure garden with grass and an astroturf area. This is where we enjoy sand play, and all sorts of sensory and messy activities. There is loads of room for scooting fun!

Music

We are a musical house! I am a singer, and away from childminding I perform locally for many different charities and events.

Child-led Play

My home environment is founded on my beliefs, and previous professional experience in supporting children’s emotional well-being,with a focus on the principles of child-led play. I’m not afraid of mess and imaginative roleplay – as these are the ways that children learn to express the ideas, wishes and feelings that are fundamental for growing minds.
