Welcome to Happy home childcare, an Ofsted registered childcare provider just on the outskirts of Barnstaple, North Devon.

I aim to provide a warm, friendly and safe environment to allow children to grow and develop to their full potential, thereby enabling their parents/carers to go about their work in a relaxed and confident manner.

I have worked in childcare for over 10 years, this includes working in 2 different nurseries (1 nursery being in a management position). I have various childcare qualifications and as well as the qualifications below I am first aid trained, safeguarding trained, and I hold a food hygiene level 2 certificate.
My intention with my childminding service is to provide a “home from home” where children in my care will feel calm, happy and stimulated.
Having sent my own child to childminders for a few years I understand the value that such a service can provide, and how important it is that children are happy and well cared for. I also understand the need to provide parents with information and honest feedback regarding their child's day to day routine, including what they have been doing, what they have enjoyed or disliked, how long they have slept (if applicable), what they have eaten and their general behaviour. I do this by providing parents with a daily diary that details all of the above, so that they can have an insight into how their child has spent their day.
