My Summary
About Me
hi my name is Sandra Harper and I am an Ofsted registered childminder.
**AVAILABILITY**
*****Opening hours 7am-4.30pm ****
*****I currently have spaces for 0-5 year olds from Jan 26
I live with my husband and daughter (age 16) in south Kirkby and our kitties, I am qualified to Degree level (BA in Early Years). I also hold EYPS (Early Years Professional Status) Early Years Teacher Status equivalent. I am approved through Wakefield Authority to be able to offer funding for eligible 2, 3 and 4 year olds (15/30 hours), I am also able to offer the extended offer from 9m for eligible working parents/carers.
I offer a home from home environment and deliver the EYFS through everyday experiences. I have an enclosed garden to the rear and a dedicated playroom.
Throughout my career as an early years professional, I have worked with and supported many families and their young children, my passion is providing a quality service with children at the centre of all that I do. I became a childminder working from home as I know only too well what it can be like juggling work commitments and family life, so understand what pressures parents and carers can feel. I aim to relieve some of these pressures by providing a homely, caring, fun, and safe environment where your most precious little ones can be left whilst you are at work, studying or enjoying a little bit of me time.
I also offer pre school sessions so children can spend a few hours away from their parents/carers in order to help prepare them for nursery/or school and allow them to mix with their peers in a smaller group.
We get out and about weekly and enjoy trips to the park, picnics and visits in and around the local community.
