Information for families in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole

Elkins, Ms Clare

I have 29 years experience working with children and have an NVQ level 3 in childcare and education. I live in Muscliff in a four bedroom house with a spacious enclosed garden and separate playroom. I live with my partner and my son who is 18. I also have a daughter who is 21, she lives away however she comes to visit and stays regularly.  I have been childminding for 21 years and I enjoy being a childminder very much. I provide many stimulating activities for the children in a safe environment which allows them to explore, have fun and grow in all areas of their development.
