Joanne Herbert

Childminder

I am an experienced Ofsted registered childminder living in a large family home in Stowmarket close to Abbot's Hall Primary School and Stowmarket High School. It's a great location for children as we have numerous play parks close by as well as being close to the library, town centre, recreation ground, leisure centre and museum, all of which we visit regularly. My aim is to provide parents with high quality childcare which is convenient, flexible and affordable and to provide children with a home from home environment where they feel safe, secure, relaxed and able to enjoy their time here. I am able to plan activities to suit the ages of the children I look after whilst ensuring their educational needs are met as set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Children have access to many toys and are able to take part in art and craft activities, baking, gardening and outdoor play.I offer full and part time places and a drop off and collection service to/from Abbot's Hall School
