About Me
Hi, my name is Sophie, I’m a childminder in Great Linford. I have an NVQ level 3 in childcare and education with 15 years experience caring for children of all ages, from new-born up to age 11 and feel very confident working with any age. I have worked in nurseries, pre-schools and was a nanny for 9 years. I became an Ofsted registered childminder in August 2023.
£6.50ph inclusive prices with all meals and snacks, nappies & wipes, day trips and playgroup activities included. My home is clean, smoke free and pet free. I have a large kitchen for lots of messy play, arts & crafts and cooking activities, a large lounge where age appropriate toys, books and activities are set up daily that follow the children's interests. I have a separate safe sleeping room for nap times or rest and an EYFS outdoor area.
As well as an NVQ level 3 in childcare and development, I have completed a homebased childcare course and have all the required certificates which include Paediatric First aid training, safeguard training, fire safety, food hygiene and EYFS training. I regularly complete online and in person courses to stay up to date with training and policies.
I use an app called 'Babys days' so you will have regular live updates throughout the day, including sleep times, nappy changes, bottle feeds, daily menus, and your own child's photos, observations/next steps. I follow the early years foundation stage curriculum which I have 15 years experience in from birth to 5 years. I love providing fun and engaging activities where children learn through play in a home from home setting, with lots of nurture and praise so they can become confident, independent and happy little people ready for starting school. I provide lots of outdoor activities- we regularly visit local groups, take trips to the farm, the library and visits to different local parks and wooded walks. We often meet with other childminders in the area too.
