What we do
I have been a childminder for 19. All of my mindees have come to me from recommendations. I have completed different Welsh course which I undertook because I have mindees in the Welsh school. We go to various soft play/ playgroups which encourage children to socialise, the afternoons are planned around the children who attend that day. We go on regular trips to parks and also short walks. Near my street there is a field which we take advantage of in the fine weather particularly the older ones if parents give permission. I pick up and drop off from Ysgol Santes Tudful and am very flexible with my times as I can understand that most jobs aren’t 9 to 5.
Who do we support
I care for children from 1 month up to 11 years of age
