Service Description:
Have been a registered childminder for 5 years now, during this time I have cared for children from 6 months up to 10 years of age, and enjoy watching them grow and learn new and exiting things.
I am a married mother of 3 children. All my own children like to help out, playing with the children, and I feel through this the children feel relaxed and at home.
I do lots of different activities, from art play, outdoor play and outings to parks, library, shops and local pet shop.

I offer a warm and friendly atmosphere, lots of encouragement and praise.
