Lowe's childminding is owned and ran by Emma, she registered in 2016 as a childminder and has continued to grow ever since. We love the outdoors and getting messy, so wellingtons are normally a must on the list of items to bring. We run before and after school provision as well as having EYFS children. We meet other childminders regularly and attend a toddler group each week. Working in partnership with parents is key to our setting and this app make life easier for our parents to communicate with us as well as using our isign technology to sign the policies and consent forms.
