Hi I am Vicky, I have two little boys under the age of 5. I chose to be a childminder after having my first son.
I am registered with Ofsted. I am a member of the NCMA. I am fully insured. I am also registered with the Information Commissioners Office. Evidence of this can produced upon request. I provide a safe, enriching and homely environment for your unique child. There are many indoor and outdoor activities available. Should you require something specific I will endeavour to cater for this. Within my local area there is a park, Sure Start centre, library and much more. The local area has good links with the A1, A69, A696, A167 and public transport.
I have been actively childminding since June 2010 and registered with Ofsted since November 2009. I have done two years work experience through a pre-teaching course at a primary school.
