My Summary
About Me
Crediton Childcare is a home-from-home setting providing parents with peace of mind knowing that their children are in a safe, secure and caring environment.
Approved with Ofsted and the Local Authority as a registered childminder who is able to offer the Early Years Funding/Extended Funding as well as the funding for eligible two-year olds, I am focused on providing each child with the individual attention they need to develop to their full potential.
I offer childcare from newborn upwards, including providing continuing care and support when the children move onto school when needed around school holidays and school opening hours.
I live with my husband and son in a lovely home in Blagdon Close with large, enclosed front and back gardens and off-road parking for parents.
We make use of the majority of the home with a dedicated play-room and separate lounge, large kitchen/diner that is used for cooking and eating together, a quiet room for older children to focus undisturbed on their activities or relax with a book, and dedicated individual rooms with large cot-beds when a rest is needed.
We have a medium sized friendly dog, turtles and fish tank that the children learn to respect and care for and spend a large proportion of each day outside learning in a natural environment as we play and grow our own fruit and vegetables each year.
Activities and themes are planned to follow and extend the children's interests and tend to be mainly 'child-led', providing the resources, necessary support and an environment to promote their natural curiosity often involving 'Messy/Sensory play', age and ability appropriate experiments, arts and crafts, basic cookery, imaginary play and physical development.
We organise and enjoy jointly planned activities and outings with other childminders enabling the children to socialise in larger groups of children with dedicated childcare professionals.
We also enjoy 'Creation Station' or 'MooMusic' sessions on a regular basis as well as holding memberships for Paignton Zoo, the National Trust, Living Coasts, Orange Elephant that we take advantage of often.
My Experience
We moved to Crediton just before my son was born in 2011 and established my home-based childcare setting in early 2014.
I have experience with new-born babies to teenagers and was employed as a nanny for an American family living in Texas previously.
I work in partnership with families as well as other childcare settings and schools; sharing information and proactively supporting where possible.
My existing and previous families are always happy to provide references if requested.
