My background

I have 20 years experience of working in the childcare sector. I have been an Ofsted Registered Childminder since April 2013. Prior to becoming a childminder I worked in a Private Day Nursery for almost 10 years before leaving to give birth to my first daughter. It was after her birth that I decided to change my career path slightly so that I could enjoy being a mummy whilst still doing the kind of job that I have always loved.
