Amber Willoughby

Last updated: 08/03/2022

My name is Amber and I am an Ofsted registered childminder with a GOOD rating. I live in Burghfield common with my partner and two sons. I completed my initial training with PACEY and my membership allows me to refresh my skills with regular training and legislation updates. My home is within walking distance of the local park and shops and I also regularly visit soft play, messy play, country parks, farms and more! I aim to provide an inclusive, creative and homely environment where every child feels welcome and safe. I believe that working in close partnership with parents to create a tailored approach for each child will provide them with the stable environment they need to flourish in my care.
