Nicola, professional childminder in Coolham
Nicola's extras
Presentation
From changing nappies to engaging in educational and creative activities, I enjoy all aspects of looking after children. I’m an Ofsted registered childminder and caregiver with years of experience as a mother of two. I’m passionate about children and strive for their experience away from mum and dad to be as educational and fun as possible.
I live in Coolham, which is situated in the parish of Shipley, West Sussex. I live with my husband of 10 years and together we have a 4-year-old daughter and a 1 year old son. My 80-year-old father also lives with us as well as a kitten and 4 chickens!
Our home was previously the site of the village cobbler and the original workshop still sits on our land to this day. We have a large detached home complete with a dedicated playroom which provides opportunities for sensory, creative and imaginary play.
There is gated, private and secure parking to the front of the house and we have over half an acre of magical forest land that is home to our chickens and of course the fairies! We go outside in all weathers and learn about the world. We feed the chickens, grow fruit and vegetables, cook delicious homemade food together, have fun with the mud kitchen or sand pit, play on the swings and read stories in 'Cobblers Cottage' the playhouse at the bottom of the garden. No two days are the same.
