I am a registered childminder in North Tonbridge.
We live next to a large field with woodlands behind us, we love being outdoors, and I'm a member of the Forest Childcare Association.
I have a large playroom and dining area dedicated to childminding, with plenty of room to play and explore.
The best part of childminding for me is building a secure attachment with children, and then seeing the progress they make, working with parents and carers to help each child to thrive and develop.

Typical Weekly Activities
Inspired by Hygge and Curiosity approaches, I provide lots of nature and exploration based activities, in a nurturing and stimulating environment.
We enjoy lots of sensory experiences and playing with loose parts, to really inspire a sense of wonder and imagination.
Resources and activities are rotated regularly to follow children's interests, keeping children curious and engaged in their play.
I have a garden for outdoor play, including a mud kitchen, water play and sand pits, as well as the fields and woods surrounding us. As a forest childcare provider I encourage children to spend time exploring the outside environment and learning about the natural world around us.
We regularly visit parks, farms, woodlands, toddler groups and libraries, as well as enjoying creative and baking activities together.
All meals and snacks are provided, with variety and home cooked meals being a priority.
