My name is Margaret Rose and I am a CIW Registered Childminder based in Penrhyncoch, near Aberystwyth in beautiful West Wales. I have 23 years of experience as a Registered Childminder. I provide home from home childcare in a quality setting which allows your child to play and develop in a safe and friendly environment while also having lots of fun and making new friends.

I cater for children aged between 0 and 12 years old. I also provide after school and holiday care for older children and at the moment collect from Comins Coch school.

The childminding is based in my home where I have a large playroom and back garden in which the children can play, learn, develop, and explore. I also take children on trips outside the home. This include trips to local toddler groups, the library, local playgrounds, and the surrounding countryside to mention just a few.

The language of our home is English; however, I am able to use some Welsh with the children.

I have two assistants, my husband, Stephen, and daughter, Lily, who both work with me on a part time basis, and in case of emergency. The other people in my home are two of my other children, Christopher and Eleanor.
