Carol Lumsden

l have been an Ofsted registered childminder for 24yrs+ years. I work with my husband who is my Ofsted registered assistant. We have worked for lots of families over the years so have a wealth of experience.

I provide a wrap around childminding service in a loving homely environment. I am a member of childcare.co.uk and I am fully insured both as a childminder and as a car driver to carry minded children in my car. I have a 7 seater car which enable me to take the children out on visits to playgroups, childminders drop-ins, parks, sea side trips, sure start, farm trips; we go on teddy bear picnics and other trips so children get lots of experiences and outings.

I have a playroom in which the children can play safely. I have recently converted my garage into another large playroom which we call the rainbow room giving children more space to play and explore. I have lots of resources for them to enjoy; we do art/craft activities, playdough,/messy play, various jigsaws and games  

We promote healthy eating by growing our own fruit/vegetables with the children
