My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm Christine Price, I live in Broadwater with my husband and two of our four children (aged 18 and 20 years). I am an OFSTED registered childminder and have worked in childcare for over 23 years. As a childminder I like to provide a home from home environment for the children in my care. I enjoy the outdoors, baking, crafting, reading, listening to music and visiting the cinema or theatre (all of which I do in my childminding setting). I also enjoy my role as a Squirrel and Beaver Scout Leader. My husband is also registered as my assistant and occasionally helps me. He also enjoys his role as a Cub Scout Leader.
My Experience
Bringing up 4 children of my own I have a wealth of experience with all that that entails. I have been a registered childminder since June 2000. I have taken care of many children over the years ranging from 2 weeks old to 13 years from different backgrounds to me, with differing abilities and needs.
I follow the Early years foundation stage (EYFS) and OFSTED guidelines to achieve a well balanced, safe and happy environment for children to play, grow and develop in. Activities and visits are planned with the children in mind to encourage each child's development, interests and enjoyment while meeting their individual needs on the days they attend.
September 2015 OFSTED graded me good in all areas saying "The childminder demonstrates skills when extending children's play ideas, which promotes children's learning effectively. Effective observation and monitoring of children's learning ensure they make good progress in preparation for their move to school".
"The childminder has secure relationships with children. They seek her out for comfort and support. They enjoy interacting with her during their play".
"The childminder promotes children's independence and self-help skills during routine times of the day. For example, children help to prepare food and put on their own shoes before going outside. This develops children's skills for the future".
"The childminder has good relationships with parents. She shares information about her provision, practice, and their children's development, which ensures they are part of their children's learning".
