Firstly I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this. I look forward to possibly building a good friendship with both you and your child.

A brief history

Originally from the Hertford area, we moved to Buckinghamshire in 2013 as my husband Steve is an RAF Policeman based at RAF High Wycombe. We have two children, Amber and Aaron. We have one well trained, friendly dog, one adult cat and two kittens; all who love being around children and who are very used to being played with. I do teach children to be kind and respect animals and they are never left unattended with them.

Having been a Childminder in previous years and also working as a residential social worker for children and young adults with physical and learning difficulties, I have lots of experience in caring of children at various ages from 0 – 18 years.

What I aim to provide

I offer a warm, loving, safe home from home environment for your children to be cared in. You will find my home to be a friendly and pleasant place for children to spend time: where all children are treated with respect and valued as an individual.
I will ensure that they are made to feel welcome and part of the family. I have always had an anti-discriminatory and anti-bias attitude towards people, and hope to pass this onto my children and the children in my care.
I strongly believe in children having childhoods and being able learn through play, to have fun and experience as much as possible.

I have toys, games, books, messy play, arts and crafts, learning equipment and much more for all ages: I also have a large, enclosed, secure garden with climbing frames, slides, sandpit, trampoline, large sit-on-toys, play equipment and outdoor games. We regularly go to museums, adventure playgrounds, soft play areas and other local activities.

Location

The property is located within easy walking distance of local amenities such as local parks, recreational fields etc. We also have a large garden for outdoor play that is secure and away from the open road.
