What we do
I am a childminder registered with CIW and provide childcare for children aged between 6 weeks to 12 years of age. I live in the Cowbridge area and currently look after children from the local schools. My first language is English but I use some incidental Welsh as well. I have a golden retriever dog who is very friendly and enjoys being made a fuss of.
I like to get out with the children when the weather allows and often take them to one of the local parks, play centres or to farms. If time allows I may venture further afield to Dyffryn Gardens, Margam Park, St. Fagan's museum, Bryngawr country park and nearby castles.
I have a garden where the children are allowed to play, which is safe and secure and they can play with the sand and water toys. There are a variety of toys and games for the children to play with inside, as well as books and jigsaws. I have a good selection of art and craft materials that the children can use and 'Play Doh' is always a favourite
