From the Mucky Munchkins Childcare
When we became childminders in 2014, we launched Mucky Munchkins Childcare.
We shared a property in Daisy Hill, Westhoughton, where Jennifer and I worked as childminders.
We both worked together for more than 12 years in the legal industry before becoming childminders.
We thought it was time for a career move during our second pregnancies!
During 2013, whilst working full time, heavily pregnant and looking after our first-born children, we decided to train as Childminders.
In December 2013, we took on the title of "Childminders."
Therefore, after a very brief maternity break, we reopened the doors in April 2014!
After eight weeks of operation, we underwent our first OFSTED inspection and received a GOOD rating across the board.
After becoming childminders for six months, we thought it was time to start looking for a location because there was such a strong demand for our services in the neighbourhood.
We had been looking for the ideal location to grow our childcare business for less than two years.
It was located at The Old Scout Hut.
