About Me

Please contact for more info* please check my post code (NW19UG)

I have been childminding since 1994 and have a lot of experience with childcare and live in Camden, London. I am a very friendly person with a kind and caring attitude. I enjoy being out in the fresh air as much as possible and feel that the children i mind enjoy this too. I take the child/ren that i childmind to regular playgroups where we participate in many fun activites and learn how to interact and play with others., thses playgroups works with the revised EYFS standards. I also take the child/ren (with permission) on outings such as London Zoo, to our local swimming pool, paddling pool in Hamstead heath (when whether permits), city farm and many more fun and educational places. I believe that parents should be involved in what activites their child is doing, so I create little profile books with the childrens work and pictures in for the parents to view and take home when their child leaves my services. I am avaliable for full or part time work
I hold a valid CRB check, am registered with OFSTED and insured by morton mitchell and i also have two small dogs which are kept away from the children.
I also hold a qualification in Childcare, Level 3.

Weekly activities include: Treetops, swimming, baby gym, Working with two childrens centres which base their work on the Early Years education, many outdoor activities, and structured EYFS learning sessions where we learn about the world around us.

I do have two small Shih Tzu dogs who are very friendly but are kept away from the children in my care. I am newly qualified in CYPW level 3 childcare (Nursery Nurse).

My Experience

I have recently obtained an Outstanding grade for my childcare services: March 2016, I have been working as la registered childminder for since 1993 (certified by Camden council and Ofsted), working with children of all ages and abilities.
I have a daughter who is grown up now ,so i bring experience from bringing up my own child with me.
I do have a policy for easing children into my care, which i feel benifits them as they have time to become familiar with me whilst their parents are there, this is so the child doesn't feel uncomfortable when Mummy and daddy leave to go back to work. All children under my care have profile books which show daily activities and unformation on mile stones reached and what our next steps are. I have also recently completed my level 3 Childcare Qualification (nursery nurse).

Claudine has been a childminder for us now for 2 years, and has always provided the best standard of childcare for our two daughters. She is flexible, organised and is very conscious of activities that will not only be fun but also educational. Claudine has ensured that they have different activities to do each day, from painting and playing at home, to going out to playgroups and visits to the zoo and farm. My eldest daughter has always looked forward to spending her days with Claudine and comes back with stories of all the fun she has had. We have been updated on our daughters progress with photographs as well as pictures and works produced during the activities she has been taking part. We feel she has treated are daughters as well as her own grand children. I would recommend Claudine to anybody.
