I am Jill Nichols, I own and manage Dragon Friends Out of School Club. The club is in Wharncliffe Side Sheffield S35 and offers a wrap around child care service for children attending Wharncliffe Side school and nursery. I have been a registered Child Minder since August 2006. The business runs from my home where I live with my husband Michael and our three children Emily, Zak and Theo.
I facilitate and organise planned activities for the children which are then delivered by myself and my team. Although a fair portion of my time is spent keeping the setting organised and running smoothly. I endeavour to stay very hands on with the children and try to always be present to welcome the children when they arrive and speak to parents when they collect.

I thoroughly enjoy being a child minder and love doing activities with the children. The real bonus                                                                      of doing this for my job is that no two days are                                                                            ever the same!

 Carol has worked as an assistant at Dragon Friends since 2014. She has a     lovely gentle manner with the children, is always ready to listen to any   problems and gives cuddles freely. She is a great asset to the team!
PictureAnne Clarke Breakfast Club Assistant
 Anne has also been with Dragon Friends since 2014. She has an endless ability   to play with the children and come up with new ideas to help develop their   play. Anne does a lot of role play and never minds whether she is being poked   and prodded as a patient at the doctors or pretending to be a dog, which   seems to be a favourite of the younger children.

  Anne is a familiar face around school as she also works there as a dinner lady    and cleaner. We love having Anne here.
