My Experience

I hold a degree in Psychology and a level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Early Years Education and Care.
Before and between my own children I have had professional experience in both early years and primary school settings.
I am passionate about working with children which I find both fun and extremely rewarding.

My childminding practice draws upon a mixture of personal attitudes, early years knowledge and skills, educational values and professional experience in working with children. I inform my practice by selecting, adapting and putting into practice a variety of methods and strategies from different pedagogic approaches which I feel in line with my values and beneficial to children's learning. To mention a few is the Montessori ethos on autonomy and independence, Bowlby's attachment theory, Scandinavian Forest School approach, Danish Hygge and the Reggio-Emilia involvement in community life.

I am up to date with insurances, safeguarding, paediatric first aid training, food hygiene and GDPR regulations.

I have also attended and shall continue to attend continuous professional development courses on a variety of topics to support my knowledge and understanding of child development and professional obligations.
