I have childminded for 27 years and enjoy looking after children. I am married and I have two grown up children of my own, aged 25 and 28. We also have two cats named Molly and Elphie. A typical day for us is taking and collecting children to and from the Ratby Primary School and the Ratby Pre School, visiting the park and local shops and occasionally attending mums and toddlers on a Wednesday morning. In the holidays and after school we like to go to the local parks and walk in the woods and surrounding countryside. For inside the house we have a wide variety of toys from dolls houses to cowboy forts. Creative play includes play-dough, dressing up and lots of drawing and painting. I have a wide assortment of books, puzzles and building bricks to encourage learning whilst playing.
