My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered Childminder continually rated Good in all areas of my Ofsted inspection. I am also a member of PACEY.
I have attended various training courses to keep up to date with changes in the childcare sector and am committed to Continual Professional Development (CPD).
I have completed a Criminal Records Bureau Check, as have all adults over the age of 16 years who may be in regular contact with your child, have valid Public Liability Insurance and am a certified First Aider, as required by Ofsted.
My Experience
I have been a childcare provider for eighteen years and have experience caring for children from birth all the way through to teenagers, and offer a caring, friendly, home-life setting for the children in my care.
I encourage individuality, boosting children’s self esteem, self-image and self-confidence. I encourage social interaction and emotional development.
Activities are suitable for the age and development of every child, which are fun as well as educational. Children are able to choose from a wide and stimulating range of equipment, toys and books that are accessible and invitingly displayed.
