Hazey Dayz Childminding founder

My History

I work from home which is situated in Deepcar, Sheffield, close to local amenities and schools. My home is registered with Ofsted and I use the downstairs living room, kitchen and garden and first floor bathroom during minded hours.

Hazey Dayz has grown since 2008 to become one of the biggest and most respected Childminders in North Sheffield, 90% of our mindees have come from word of mouth, which speaks volumes for the service I provide to you and your children.

I work extremely hard to provide the best care I can give to the children who attend Hazey Dayz.

When I first opened Hazey Dayz I looked at it from a parents point of view, what would I want for my daughter and what would I want to know. Over the years I have learned so much and I feel like my business improves daily and I feel so lucky that I get to do a job that I absolutely love in my own home.
