About Me

Sorry no spaces available.

My name is Nicolette Smit; I am a qualified special needs teacher that holds a pediatric first aid certificate. I have a passion for children and encouraging the development as they grow. Working with children is something I have wanted to do from a very young age and decided to become a teacher, focusing on special needs.

I have taught in a range of special needs schools for the last 10 years and in December 2013 I gave birth to my son. I decided to start childminding, so I can look after my own son and help other parents in need of childcare. I aim to provide a setting that both children and parents will love and enjoy.

I use quite a few rooms in my house for childminding so the kids have freedom to move between rooms. we have a dining room which we use for eating and arts and crafts. A quiet room for reading or chilling out, then a big playroom with an conservatory leading off it for free play and group activities. We also have a brilliant outside space for playing.

My Experience

I've been a special needs teacher for the last 10 years.
Ive also been looking after children in the evenings for 10 years before the birth of my son.

Children benefit from an ambitious curriculum and strong focus on language development in this childcare setting. The environment promotes emotional well-being, with community engagement encouraged through local outings. Safeguarding arrangements are effective, and partnerships with parents are good. Improvements could be made by balancing adult-led and child-initiated activities, and enhancing teaching skills for younger children.
