Hi! My name is Tash and I am a newly registered childminder. I have been a professional Nanny for almost 20 years and have worked in Australia, America and (for the last 17 years) in England. 

I was born in Australia and completed all of my schooling (incl my early years degree) there. 

I will be working alongside another childminder (in her house), but our gardens actually back onto each others. It is only a short 10 minute walk to the mainline train station and a 15 minute walk to the town centre. There is a large garden with plenty of play equipment and I encourage lots of outdoor play. There is also a playroom with an assortment of quality resources for the children to use. 

I live with my partner, dog Willow (who will be coming to work with me) and three cats. 

Willow is very good with children but will never be left unsupervised and she will also have a separate area. 

Although my degree is in teaching, I have always found being in a home setting is much more rewarding . Being able to  assist and be a part of the growth and development of the children in my care is what inspired me to be a nanny in the first place. 

Now I am ready for a new challenge and am looking forward to moving into the world of childminding. 

I will aim to provide a “home from home” style environment for the children in my care as I feel that helps to ensure that they feel happy, safe, secure and relaxed which promotes a better environment for learning.
