My name is Betty Lowing, I have been a registered childminder since 1999 and a mother since 1991. I have three children of my own, and am currently registered to look after 6 children.

I have the Certificate in Childminding Practice (CCP), which involved completing (and passing) the following courses;

·        Introducing Childminding Practice (ICP)

·        Developing Childminding Practice (DCP)

·        Extending Childminding Practice (ECP)

I have also attended a “Behaviour Management” course, and I regularly attend first aid courses.

I drive an 8 seater car, and have car seats that are suitable for children from 6 months to 12 years. I always insist that the children are safely strapped into my car.

I deliver/collect children from Biggin Hill Primary school and I am able to deliver/collect from most Biggin Hill playgroups (pre-schools).

My usual business hours are between 8.00am and 6.00pm. I usually take three weeks holiday per year (2 weeks summer, one week during the winter/spring).
