Little B

My Summary

My Experience

My background is in primary school teaching. I have worked at a school in Willenhall for the last 14 years teaching children between the ages of 3-11 years old. My favourite stage to teach has definitely been EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), I just absolutely love working with the little ones and find it extremely rewarding.
After having our second son, I decided that I really wanted to do something that I love and that would fit in around my family. I was inspired by my experience in EYFS to consider a career in childcare. I finally made the exciting decision in June 2019 to retrain and I started the process to become a childminder. I completed my level 3 Home Based Childcare qualification in September 2019 and have also completed safeguarding and paediatric first aid training. In addition, I also have a BEd in Primary School Teaching. From September 2020 I have worked part time as a teacher and also been childminding part time whilst I work my notice at the primary school where I work. I will be available to childmind full time from January 2021. I provide professional care for children from 3 months to 11 years of age, in a home from home setting, which is safe and secure. In this supportive, nurturing environment your child will be able to learn through play and will follow the EYFS curriculum to help them develop, learn and achieve.
I provide breakfast, morning snacks, lunch and afternoon snacks for a charge of £1.50 per day.
Lunch may vary between hot and cold meals. Alternatively, you may wish your child to bring with them healthy, balanced packed lunches for all their meals and snacks.
I have experience of using ‘Mybabysdays’ in my setting, an internet-based system, which parents can access online. Parents can login to the system securely to access and view their child’s progress, photo & video galleries and policies etc and in addition leave notes within specific areas for me to respond to.
Everything I do on ‘Mybabysdays’ system happens in real time, so I will be able to notify you about nappy changes, times of bottle feeds, naps and any accidents as they happen each day. Parents are also informed immediately once areas of their child’s data have been updated.
