About Me

CIW Registered / Flying start Childminder living in the Barry area. I live with my husband Who is in the Royal and our 3 children
We also have 1 small dog . I have some spaces available for immediate start. I look after children in a loving, safe, fun environment where they can play, learn following their own interests and learning styles .

I was inspected Jan 2020 and was awarded Excellent in all areas. In May 2019 I started The Curiosity Approach Accreditation. I have moved away from traditional plastic toys and I use recycled resources as much as possible for children to use their imaginations . My setting is very much child led. Children of all ages have access to a range of authentic resources and loose parts that is spread throughout the environment. I have a dedicated outdoor and secure private back garden for the children to play. Children can access the outdoors whenever they want as I have a free flow open plan space. We are also out and about a lot enjoying nature.
I attend local flying start toddler groups and singing at the library. I also love taking the children out and about ( in all weathers) on fun days out to visit local parks, forests and other local attractions.

Karean is a great childminder, she takes them out to places all the time and keeps the children interested in everything they do. I unfortunatly only had the pleasure of sending my 2 year old daughter to her for a few months due to us moving to a different town but if anything could of been done i would have stayed with Karean because my daughter absolutely loves going to her everyday.
I would totally recommend Karean to everyone.
