About me

My name is Yvonne and I have worked in Ripon as an OFSTED registered childminder since 2002. I have been accredited as a North Yorkshire Leading childminder and my most recent OFSTED Inspection grading is OUTSTANDING.

I live with my husband and two grown up children, who are all very supportive of my work. Prior to having children I worked as an Insurance Broker, however, I found it so rewarding watching my own children grow and develop that I decided to pursue a career in childcare. I have over the years volunteered in our local primary school and at a local special needs support group. I have also worked in a Preschool playgroup.

As a parent myself I appreciate how difficult it is choosing the right childcare. I am committed to working in partnership with parents to ensure that children's individual needs are met and they feel happy, relaxed and secure in my setting. It is important to me that parents feel totally at ease leaving their child with me.
