Lorraine Smitham

My name is Lorraine Smitham and this website is designed to tell you a little bit about me and my childminding service. I live in Glossop with my Husband Mark & our son Andrew who is 7, Mark's an IT geek & Andrew is my part time assistant who specialises in testing out the toys, activities and resources. I am registered for 3 under 5's. Caring for children and babies from birth to 12 years of age. In total I have 6 registered places for children under 8 years of age, though my son takes one of these places.

My registration certificate and Ofsted inspection report are available for parents to see, either in person or via access to the Ofsted website. I am also a member of the National Childminding Association and hold current NCMA liability insurance policies. I have a good understanding of children, basing my teaching around them using their interests, learning styles and personalities to plan our days.
