I live in Cainscross Stroud with my husband Steve and our little boy Bernie, who is 2. I have worked in Early Years since 2009. I gained Early Years Professional Status from The University of Gloucestershire in 2010. It is a post graduate Early Years qualification accredited by the CWDC (now part of Department for Education). I also have a Level 3 in Setting Up A Home Based Childcare Service and am a member of the Professional Asociation for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY).
All children are encouraged to be sociable and to build relationships during their time at nursery, supporting each individual child's personal, social and emotional aspects of development. At Curious Caterpillars everyone is treated equally, regardless of race, religion, gender or culture. All children have the opportunities to play and explore all activities and resources available to them.
Our nurseries are safe, joyful places where children feel secure and happy in the company of qualified, well-trained and extraordinarily kind and caring staff. They are places where high quality play and first-hand experiences lead children to rich and enjoyable discoveries and learning. And, they are places where the quality of care and pre-school education is rated as outstanding by Ofsted. Of course, the best way for you to find out more about what kind of places they are is to come and see us.

I have two children of my own, Oscar is 15 and Hector is 2. Before childminding I had two different careers. I then trained as a web designer and had my own business before changing to childminding after the birth of my younger son. I am a keen cook and enjoy making things. Knitting, sewing, decoupage, crafts, embroidery and the such like are my favourites.
