My Summary
About Me
** CURRENT AVAILABILITY**
I only have availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9:30-2:30.
Hello everyone!
My name is Jo and I run Childminding with Jo!
i live with my husband, and our two sons Logan (Oct'17) and Max (Apr'20) in Bletchley, MK3.
The setting is a 4 bedroom detached property with a lovely back garden, with plenty of space to play and get up to mischief.
The children have the run of downstairs, which includes a spacious living room, kitchen, play room, and a downstairs toilet. I also have a garden where the kids can run around on the grass, or on a raise area at the back with a number of toys as well as a climbing frame.
I like to think of my setting as a home away from home, therefore children will be asked to clean up after themselves, to help putting away toys at the end of the day and respecting the house rules. Along with this, the setting is my home and therefore it has less of a nursery feel as I do not have posters up on the walls and all of the toys are cleaned away at the end of every day.
My goal is to ensure that children have a safe, positive environment in which they are able to express themselves in anyway they wish, whilst learning about society and the world around us.
** CURRENT AVAILABILITY**
I also have availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9:30-2:30.
