Information for families in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole

Pritchard, Ms Katie (Twyford Childminding)

At Twyford Childminding your child will be able to spend time in our lovely family home as well as benefit from the same learning and development as they would gain from attending pre-school or nursery. Your child will enjoy days out from visits to the beach, to days out to a farm, to fun at country parks. We also attend childminding groups with various activities for your child to choose, soft play and even walking to the park for an ice cream, out on a daffodil hunt or growing our own plants. The list is truly endless!!!! I have 3 daughters aged 15, 11 and 7 years. All in school full time, locally and live with our beautiful pug, Bella. She is 2 years old and an absolute joy to be around. Having 3 sisters to play with, she is a very child friendly dog and has the sweetest nature. I live in Canford Heath and am very fortunate to own a lovely house in a quiet cul-de-sac that is perfect for childminding with its own toy room, spare room for nap times if needed, large kitchen, that can cater for high chairs, and a large decked and grassed back garden for play. I also have a 7 seater mode of transport with enough room for pushchairs and to cater perfectly for childminding.

The list is truly endless. I am fully DBS checked, police checked, identity checked and health checked. On running my childminding business previously, I completed a Diploma in Homebased Childcare and Medic First Aid. I have since completed a Paediatric First Aid course and I am Ofsted registered. Reference are available on request. I look forward to hearing from you.
