My Summary
About Me
Ofsted Registered and last Graded good.
Childminder with a difference-Oxford
A home from home setting. Where children can access any activity they wish and follow their interests. Along with adult led opportunities learn something new following the EYFS curriculum. Access to a secure grassed garden and outdoor space.
I include the curiosity approach, forest school, and Montessori activities.
Cooking and Art lessions.
I take children out weekly. To trips in the local community. To childrens groups, the library story and rhyme times. Parks including wooded areas. Museums, and art galleries.
Examples of activities include daily singing/ music and interactive story times including props and puppets.
I am a trained qualified artist we do lots of creative play, Playdough discos, arts and crafts, messy play.
I have a kitchen/ role play area.
In the garden we do den building, gardening, and nature activities.
I have a positive, friendly attitude and a caring nature which I find helps children feel secure in my setting.
I am empathetic to children’s emotional and physical needs. And very motivated to help them learn, and develop.
I work in partnership with parents and have an opening trusting relationship with them. I WhatsApp daily photos of your children and show you what we have done in the day.

I am informed and have a dialogue with Oxford Council keeping up to date on training.
