I have been a Registered Childminder since 2011 and am married to Ben. We have three teenage children and a dog.
I hold current Paediatric First Aid certificates and have attended the relevant Safeguarding (Child Protection) and Food Hygiene courses. I have a Level 3 in Childcare, am a member of PACEY (Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years) and hold current Public Liability Insurance. I also attend regular conferences, courses and Early Years networking groups. In the past I have run two parent and toddler groups and have led children’s work at our church.
When I am not childminding, I enjoy spending time with family, cooking, gardening and walking the dog.
I have trained as a Breastfeeding Mother Supporter and can provide help with a range of breastfeeding queries, including weaning, continuing to breastfeed when working and expressing milk.
