I first became a registered childminder back in 1979 when I lived in Heston, having been minding my niece for 6 months previously to this. In 1988 we moved to Sunbury where I was re- registered with Surrey social services. I am now registered with OFSTED .During these many years as a childminder I’ve looked after many, many lovely children. I’ve minded children from many different nationalities , cultures, religions and all ages from as young as 6 weeks old ! I have also minded some of the children over night occasionally, and also whilst their parents have been away on holiday.
I am still in contact with many of my past minded children. It's lovely to see them continue to grow up :-)
With my many years of experience as a minder there is very little I am unable to cope with. I am very confident that I have knowledge of most things.
I am Network accredited, I have full insurance, I hold a paediatric first aid certificate and have my NVQ3 in childcare.
Children that come to me to be minded are all treated equally and become very much part of a big extended family.
Your children will be in a happy, warm friendly environment and although I do have a routine as such, they will have much the same day as they do at home. I do believe that their time with me should be a happy experience for all three parties, child, parent and minder. I am always very approachable and I am happy to talk about any concerns .
I take the children out everyday if I possibly can. If the weather is nice we go to local swing/play parks.We go on lovely walks where the children can take their bikes, scooters etc. We feed the ducks and study other wild life,We go on trips to the local petting farms,We have picnics and even trips to the beach, and we also meet up with other childminders and their children. Even on colder days we wrap up warm and get fresh air when we can.
I also take the children to many and various toddler group/play centres. We go to The Secret Playhouse, The coffepot, Whizzkids, Squires Soft Play, Conkers soft play . I also take them to the softplay indoor gym at the local leisure centre.
When at home the children have a vast amount of toys and equipment to play with, and they also have the opportunity of doing Arts and Crafts, Puzzles, Books, Computer, etc. They also have the opportunity for quiet and rest time if needed.

Me with my very first minded child, with her daughter who I also minded. Both came to me at 3 months and stayed till they went to senior school.
