My work setting is based in my three bedroom house with a large rear garden.

Hi, my name is Katherine Dugdale. I have three boys of my own and have been childminding for 4 years.
Before that I was a primary school teacher but discovered when I had my own children that I preferred working with younger children.
 
I love the outdoors and we spend a lot of our time in the woods that are within walking distance from my house and jumping in muddy puddles. We also regularly visit the library, park and farms. 
I provide a safe, friendly environment with plenty of activities to encourage development whilst having lots of fun. 
 
As well as a PGCE, I have the following qualifications:
Level 3 NVQ in home-based childcare
First aid
Safeguarding 
 
I am open Mon – Fri except Thursdays and I accept funded places for 2,3 and 4 year olds.
I do drop offs for Chirton Primary School.
