SEN Trained. NVQ Level 3 in Children's care, learning and development. Current paediatric first aid certificate. Generalist safeguarding. Specialist safeguarding. I have been a registered childminder since 1995 and now work with my two daughters  (Kelly Fowler - registered childminder and Khloe Fowler - my Assistant) . I am an early years educator, meaning I can care for children who receive the government 15/or 30 funded hours.
I was last inspected by OFSTED in June 2018, and received a Good. 

We care for children aged from 3 months - 11 years, full time Monday- Thursday, 7:45am - 5:00pm. Term time and holiday contracts are also available.

£5.50 per hour  

We operate a minimum of 7 hours childcare per day.
