Hide AdShe is also a registered childminder for three children in the afternoon.
A recent inspection by Ofsted of her facilities and work with the youngsters, aged between two and five, led to her being awarded grade one status.
To achieve that, the early years provider must show sound and secure knowledge and understanding of childcare, learning and development.
It applies to exceptional provision with exemplary standards of care that are highly effective at ensuring children make significant progress.

"It's very unusual that an outstanding rating is given out but the inspector was pleased with what she found."

She became a registered childminder before she started the pre-school.
