I have been a qualified NNEB nanny and maternity nurse since 1993. I have worked with special care babies and in the maternity unit at Frimley Park Hospital. I have been a nanny to many families including 2 sets of triplets and twins. I have been a childminder since 2008 and always been graded outstanding: Outstanding in 2008, 2015 & 2022.I have my own son (born 2005), who has always been part of my working life with children and still is! 

I have done many courses over the years including numeracy and literacy courses. I have updated insurance, safeguarding and first aid. I am a lead language practitioner, qualified Ecat trainer and a forest childcare provider offering forest school groups. I am a qualified assessor for early years.

I am a member of Pacey and can accept childcare vouchers from all companies and also 2, 3 and 4yr old 15hr and 30 hr funding. I am registered with the government on childcare choices

Planned activities weekly following the EYFS and community based events
