Jackie Noakes, Potton, Bedfordshire

I have been a registered childminder for 14yrs. I have 3 children of my own- Jenny (11),Tom (15) and Laura (18) all still at school. I got Outstanding for the 2nd time in my latest Ofsted inspection in April 2009.  We have a dog, cats, guinea pigs and African land snails . My husband is an assistant headteacher in a Stevenage school. Previous to childminding I qualified as a  Nurse in 1986 and a Midwife in 1990. I left Midwifery in 1997 to start childminding.


I am the chair of the local childminding group for Potton. I am also an Accredited childminder which means I am able to access Early Years funding for 3 and 4 year olds the same as pre-schools and nurseries. I am part of the Central Bedfordshire Network and have regular contact with the network co-ordinator.
I have looked after numerous children over the last 14 yrs with lots of differing needs. I hope I have helped parents to go to work in the knowledge that their child will be 
nurtured and well cared at my home.


I have a current first aid cert due for renewal in Oct 2013, a level 1 Food Hygiene certificate and a Foundation Degree in Early Years, I am continuing to study with the Open University to gain my BA in Early Years and Early Years Professional Status. I intend to continue childminding when I have finished my BA as I really enjoy my job and find working with children and families very rewarding.


I work Monday to Thursday 8am to 5pm. At present I have one space on a Monday and Thursday for an under five year old.

    Hi, Can anyone help with a childminding problem?! I am a teacher and am going part time on Monday 21st November. I live on Nursery Close in Potton and need someone to take my youngest daughter to Potton pre-school every morning (term time only). It starts at 8.45 but I need to leave for work at around 8.20-8.30 I will be picking her up so this is a morning only job. In an ideal world I would love someone to pick her up from our house (perhaps en route with other children to pre-school, lower school or Burgoyne) although I realise this may not be possible. I could also drop her off at a childminders house if nearby.
    If you can help me please drop me a line at clairewalmers@gmail.com
    Thank you
