During my 29 years in childcare I worked in many areas including Nursery, Reception, Special Needs, Nanny and now childminding. I provide a variety of activities from imaginative play to construction craft and music depending of the child’s needs and abilities. I attend Kingston Park childminder dropping and toddler groups. Also I take the children on outings some of our favourite places include Leazes Park Saltwell Park, Thornley Woods, Bowlam Lake the library and Dobbies Garden Centre.  

I am very reliable and very caring and have over 9 years of childcare experience working with children between the ages of 0 and 11 years. I have alse gained valuable experience from my role as a mum to my 2 boys. My qualifications include a BA Honours Degree in Children and Young Persons, First Aid training, Safeguarding Children training and a variety of other helpful training courses.

We provide a safe and stimulating environment for children's learning and development. The setting implements the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and ensures all children have equal access and opportunity to actively learn and develop.  Outdoor access is available all year round to extend experiences. We focus on the indivdual childs strengths and support and encourage further learning opportunities building on confidence and skills.

Children get one chance with their education and at St Alban's we want this to be the best.  Our vision is to ensure that every child is the best that they can possibly be.  It is a place where achievement is expected and celebrated. At St Alban’s we are proud to celebrate each individual for all that they are. We are a caring community, enjoying and excelling in the presence of God.

I am married with 2 adult children. I have a very friendly cat, a garden to play in that's when we are in. I like to take children to parks and play groups etc. I like play, crafts etc, etc.
