Based in Throop, just off Castle Lane West so easy access to Bournemouth and poole town and RBH and JP Morgan.

| OFSTED Registered childminder and member of PACEY, based in the heart of Muscliff within close proximity of local pre-schools and Muscliff Primary School. I realised my passion lay in caring for children and providing the best foundation for their early childhood years after having two young children myself. Formerly, I worked in the field of administration in offices, but it did not provide the stimulus that young children provide. I endeavour to provide a home-from-home experience and aim to challenge the children's development and learning. I enjoy the great outdoors and undertaking messy play; exploring and using creativity to develop a child's sense of self and am well-located for local parks, as well as Stour Valley Nature Reserve and Throop Mill. I also relish baking and cooking and will encourage children to develop an enjoyment and understanding around food. My ultimate aim would be to provide an environment where your child can thrive, albeit an artistic, vocational or educational inclination.

| I have been working within nurseries for over 11+ years- both as a hands-on practitioner, and a manager, working with all age groups. Mini Badgers Childminding is open from September 2020 and we are accepting visits now! I firmly believe that children should be able to explore our outdoor environment as much as possible. Immersion in nature has so many benefits for children's development; teaching them to care about the environment; helping them sleep better at night; developing their motor skills; and encouraging a healthy life style. To facilitate these, we will be doing regular trips to nature reserves, parks, beaches and forest areas. At home I have a lounge/play room packed with a variety of toys, arts and crafts, and books. I also have a back garden with garden toys, sand and water play, a slide, and an area to grow fruit and vegetables. Opening hours are 7.30-6.30 Monday to Friday. School pick ups/drop offs
