This is what the children wear when we are out and about!
I am an Ofsted registered childminder and a member of NCMA and I promote a warm, friendly and professional home-based day care service for all ages of children. The demographic ranges from tiny babies up to 14 years of age and I follow the NCMA Quality Standards.
We reside in the MK6 postcode in Springfield which is based in the Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire area.
I was childminding with my husband Mick from September 2000 until September 2006 when he passed away. We had been married for 31.5 years and have 4 children, Martin 35, Michelle 33, Melissa 31 & Marc 29, and 8 grandchildren.
I have been childminding within Milton Keynes since 1984 and have seen a lot of changes in the profession. For 3 years I was an accredited Childminder, but since Mick is no longer with me I have now given up being an Accredited Childminder. Mick had only been childminding full-time for the 6 years as he used to work for HSBC bank and after 30 years he needed a change.
I help run our local Toddler Group “Jumping Beans” which is based on Springfield and I attend the group twice a week.
I am also a member of the “Milton Keynes Children Come First” Network.
I was also on the Milton Keynes Childminding Association committee and have been an NCMA Regional Committee Representative and a member of the Ofsted Panel.
That is me, Marion Ryan, so please read on and find out more about my Childcare Service.
