This is a warm, caring and kind place because:

My name is Andrea, I am married with 3 children (2 of whom have left home now). We have a very warm and welcoming home in South West Denton/Dumpling Hall, Newcastle.

I have worked as a child minding assistant for the past year which I have found very rewarding, this is what has spurred me on to become a child minder myself.

I have lots of experience working with early years children, I am an honest and friendly person, I am very flexible with my working hours which enables me to provide child care as and when needed.

I offer a warm, comfortable & friendly welcoming environment. Children have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities which reflect our diverse society ie books, cooking and baking, arts and crafts, playdough, computer, trips to museums, soft play, beach, park and picnics.

We have a large secure outdoor play area providing play equipment swings, slides, seesaw, playhouse, water and sandplay we also have a greenhouse where children can grow their own fruit and vegetables.
