I am an Ofsted registered childminder. My last grading was OUTSTANDING. I have been a childminder for 18 years. I am 52 years old and live with my husband, who is a carpenter, my daughter, who,has just finished university and waiting to start her teacher training who is 22 and my 19 year old son Who is just starting his career as a professional footballer. The care of the children is my main aim. I attend regular training in all aspects of childcare. I attend playgroups daily where the children learn to interact with their peers. I work closely with the Early Years Framework to prepare all children. For school when the time comes.
