I am 42 years old and live in North Thatcham. I have two children aged 11 and 8. I have been a secondary school music teacher for 16 years and became Ofsted registered as a childminder in August 2018.
During my time as a teacher I have worked with many SEND children.
I grew up in Holland and speak Dutch and English fluently. I provide a large outdoor space with a vegetable garden and a dedicated playroom.
Childcare vouchers will be accepted.
