I live with my husband James and our 4 children in Pound Hill. We have 3 cats, a dog, a tortoise and lots of indoor and outdoor fish that the children are encouraged to help look after. I have been a registered childminder since 2006 and am rated OUTSTANDING with OFSTED. I have worked with children for the last 18 years AND hold a level 3 childcare qualification and regularly attend courses to develop my skills and knowledge on all issues child and education related – these include sign language, First Aid, food hygiene, child protection and disability awareness. I have specialist training and personal experience and knowledge of working with children with a range of disabilities and learning difficulties as well as with children who have English as an additional language.
