I have over 20 years of experience working in schools, preschools, nurseries, before and after school clubs with children aged 0-11. I registered as a childminder in High Heaton in 2019 and was Ofsted rated good in November 2021.

At Tyneview, ensuring that pupils achieve their full potential is of paramount importance and a key aim is to develop a firm partnership between home and school so that this can be achieved.

I provide a warm and friendly atmosphere to all children whatever race, culture or gender and ensure safety at all times.  Children have access to a broad range of resources, play opportunities and activities.  I work in partnership with parents and use the framework Birth to Five Matters effectively to involve children and further their development.  I also provide all meals, snacks and drinks which contain a range of different nutrients, fruit and vegetables and meet the needs of cultural and religious practices.
