Yarrow, Mrs Geraldine Joy

Yarrow, Mrs Geraldine Joy logo
I have over 20 years experience as a childminder and also experience as a Nanny. I belong to the local childminding group, where I am the vacancy list holder. We meet up regularly at a childrens centre and have lots of outings to encourage the children to mix. As a group we support each other and have lots of fun. My Ofsted report was graded as 'GOOD' so now I can offer 2, 3 & 4 year funding. I was a foster carer for 14 years and so I have lots of experience and qualifications in this area too. I hold an NVQ level 3 in Childcare. I am registered to provide overnight care.
