My Summary
About Me
I'm a registered childminder in RAF Benson, I have three children myself and have a family dog who is a big softy when it comes to children. My husband works full time in the RAF. I was in the RAF for 12 years and left in July 2013.
My Aim is to provide a safe, happy and loving environment for all the children in my care. I believe that all children learn best through play and having a daily routine.
We have a play area dedicated to the children for learning and play, we have a large safe secure back garden for the children to play, which includes slides, climbing equipment, and outdoor toys to suit different ages.
Safe Secure Quiet Sleeping area, with Baby Monitor, Humidifier and fan in the warmer months.
We enjoy Arts and Crafts, Baking, Messy Play, Puzzles, Books, Role play, Music and exploring local national trusts, I also take the children to various toddler groups in and around the local area, regular day trips to the park, beale park, Cotswold adventure park, lego land, and Sea life centres, we also visit the local indoor soft play centres in the wet/cold weather.
What makes my childminding services different from others:
* I can offer one on one interaction with your child.
* I can encourage education that is related to the child's age while in my
setting.
* I can also offer a cheaper rate than other childminders and nursery's in
the local area.
* I can offer school holiday cover.
* I only charge for the hours I look after children.
* I limit my setting to 3 under 5's giving them more opportunity to learn and have time for them to thrive.
