My Summary
About Me
My name is Amanda Johnson.I am married to Gary and we have a son who has just left home.We live in a quiet close within walking distance of the town centre and local amenities. We have a secluded garden with a beautiful wooden playhouse,water table mud kitchen and a variety of outdoor toys.
My career history in childcare began in 1996 when I became an Ofsted registered childminder. I have enjoyed welcoming children to the home environment setting and seeing them become independent learners. Many of the children have stayed with me until senior school sometimes with siblings and cousins which has been fantastic for the home feel environment.
I will lead by example and aim to be a positive role model.
I provide high quality childcare within a warm and welcoming home environment.I adapt my routines and activities to support each child’s individual learning development. I provide both adult and child led activities and try to incorporate the children’s interests in my long term plans building on their interests with a broad range and variety of topics .I will encourage you child to develop new interests with a curiosity approach but above all the children will have fun in a safe environment.
