Tiny Tribe Childminding
About Me
I'm Susie, in my 30s and married with two children. I live on a quiet and safe road in the Putnoe area of Bedford, and offer a warm and caring environment for children to learn through play, with countless opportunities to discover the outdoors. We have a wide variety of toys, games and books, and a dedicated conservatory playroom for the children to use which leads out to our garden. Outside we grow fruit and vegetables during the warmer months; there are also many outdoor toys for the children to enjoy. We love to visit local places such as parks, woods, farms, zoo, libraries and playgroups, and get out and about most days.
I intentionally keep my setting small, never caring for more than three children under 5 each day. This is so that I can give each child the attention and care that they need, and provide learning and development opportunities specific to each child. I hold the required enhanced DBS check for home-based childcare, and my husband is also DBS checked. We have a completely smoke-free house and one friendly, gentle cat who spends most of her day snoozing!
My Experience
I worked as a Teaching Assistant in SEN schools for 12 years before becoming an Ofsted Registered Childminder. Throughout my career I’ve gained a wealth of experience supporting and caring for babies and children of all ages, as well as being a mum of my two school-aged children.
