I have childminding insurance with Morton Michel.

I open 7:00am – 5:00pm – Monday to Friday I DO NOT work weekends or bank holidays

I own my own business and have the best job in the world, I intend to childmind for as long as possible.

Yes, if you are not attending due to sickness childcare fees are still due. If I close due to illness there is NO charge.

All our activities are planned around each individual child, the more information you can give me about your child’s interests the better, I link all learning with home.

The children are offered milk or water. They each have a cup which is filled up and available throughout the day

Yes, if your child is aged between birth and 4 years, your child will have an individual Learning Journey, full of photographs, observations and comments from home.

If you are able to, please contact me as soon as possible so I am aware you are running late, (please do not phone whilst driving!) If you are unable to contact me, I will contact you after 15 minutes and if you are still unavailable, I will contact your child’s emergency contacts. You will be charged for the hour.

Appropriate clothing as we play out in all weathers! spare clothing (a set to be left here), wipes, sun cream, packed lunch, any creams and medication etc.

Payments are made a month in advance. Any extra hours/days goes onto next month’s bill. I ask that payments are made on the last week of each calendar month – usually around the 28^th but I can work with parents if you get paid on another date. I also accept childcare vouchers. For more information please see my fees & payments page.
