Hi my name is Ashley Dainty. I live with my 4 beautiful children & husband in our home in Highgate (Gladsmuir Road).

I run an Ofsted registered childminding setting from my home and have lots of experience working with children & the early years, before having children of my own I also gained experience working in nurseries and primary schools as a teaching assistant and LSA. I am a creative person and studied at The London College of Fashion, I love interior design and photography!

My husband is an FA Qualified children's football coach and runs a football academy in Barnet; he is also first aid qualified and CRB checked. I have extensive training in numerous areas; Child Protection & Safeguarding, Risk Assessments, Paediatric First Aid, Every Child Matters agenda, delivery of EYFS & NVQ L3 in Home Based Childcare!

At the moment I have two lovely assistants who are also first aid qualified and CRB checked. We are a non smoking household.

I think that looking after children is the most rewarding job in the world! Providing a wonderful & stimulating setting and having good routines, where children can learn and develop whilst having fun, in a loving environment is what I want to provide at HighgateChildminders.
