My wife (Zoe) and I (Paul) started Childminding in 1995, Zoe full time and myself part time (helping out between shifts). In June 2001 we took the brave step and both poured our energy into full time Childminding. This opened up a unique opportunity to parents in and around the Hatfield area as we could offer a full family environment for their children to be cared for in our own home.

We are Ofsted Registered Chilminders but we are also Registered for Shared Care (Respite Care). We have also worked with Social Services for a couple of years as Community Childminders caring for children in need, until the scheme finished in April 2008.

So in the years since we started childminding we have gained a wealth of experience caring for children from various backgrounds and different cultures. We have come to specialise in the birth to 5 years age group as we find this is the most rewarding and most important years in a child's social and physical development.

Your childs health, growth of body and mind is important to us and we actively encourage healthy eating to increase physical strength and ability. We encourage children to use the large equipment in our garden and the local park to help their gross motor skills. We have a variety of art; craft activities which is a great way to tune their fine motor skills. All of the children in our care are encouraged to share toys and equipment and help each other in their daily play which increases their understanding of other peoples needs in society and increases the family bond.

All of which increases the childs physical and psychological confidence in the world around them.

Our hours of business are 07:30 till 18:00 Monday - Friday, we work 48 weeks of the year and give out our holiday dates for the year in December/January.
