I have been an Ofsted Registered Childminder for 13 years working with children from 6 weeks old up to 12 years. We have a large playroom with two rooms and areas to play elsewhere in the house such as the conservatory and dining room. We also have an enclosed garden which the children love to play in and we are a short few minutes walk to the nature reserve and park.
We have a large selection of toys and love to do crafts, baking, construction play, imaginative play and lots of singing.
We also go out and about to toddler groups, the park, the library, the farm and different day trips in the school holidays.
