I'm a registered Independent childminder based in Barwell, Leicestershire. When I gave up work to be a full time Mum in 2009 I decided that when I go back into the world of work I'd not do it unless it was something I was passionate about. Childminding was my return to work and I love what I do.

When I left school, I completed several A Levels including Health & Social Care and Psychology. I then went on to study Education at the University of Brighton at which point my husband and I met, married and decided to start a family.

For over 12 years I dedicated my time to bringing up my own 4 beautiful children. I enjoyed and treasured every moment of being a stay at home Mum. As they got to an age where they needed less of me, I decided to register as a childminder and share my love and enthusiasm for raising children with other families. I love being able to do this!

I completed the following courses in preparation to become a childminder:

Level 3 Award in Preparing to work in Home Based Childcare
Paediatric First Aid Course
Safeguarding Children
Supporting Children’s emotional wellbeing
Expectations of Behaviour
Supporting Children with Speech, Language and Communication Needs
Delivering the EYFS
Schemas
PREVENT training

...and I continue to update my skills and knowledge regularly to enable me to provide the best care I can for the children that I look after. 

I Live with my Husband Alex who works for the NHS and 4 children; Chloe, Linnie, Freya and Joshua. My children attend, Barwell Infants School and Barwell CofE Academy, so I collect and drop off at those schools each day. We also have Floppy the Cockerpoo & Winston the Labradoodle.
