What has it been like switching from nurseries to childminding?
I was 19 when I started and now have 26 years’ experience in early years, which includes working as a nanny, nursery practitioner, nursery manager, playscheme manager, and helping a close friend set up her own nursery. When my son started secondary school I wanted to be around for his formative years, and with nursery hours I couldn’t do that. So I set up Pebbles last summer and actually what I’m enjoying most about it is doing what I set out to do – care for children.
