My Summary
Horwich Childminder
About Me
I am a married and have three girls.They are now grown up and one has two children. We have 2 grandchildren - a little girl aged 5 years, and a little boy 2 years.
I have really enjoyed my childcare career. I have a recent first aid certificate, and all members in my family have a DBS certificate. I have kept up to date with all relevant training by completing recent training regarding EYFS, and new changes regarding 2 and 3 year funding. I will be offering the funding in my area.
I worked 16 years as a childminder, three years as a foster carer, and about 4 years in a nursery setting as a nursery practitioner.
I cared for my mother these past years, which took me away from childcare for a while.
I have recently had my Ofsted inspection, and I'm excited to beginning childminding once again.
My Experience
I have worked as a nursery practitioner in a local nursery for about four years, which was difficult as I was also caring for my mum, and my days became very long at that time. I enjoyed working in a team and in the different rooms and age ranges there. I have worked with babies up to pre- school age in a nursery.
I have been a childminder for 16 years and cared for very young babies and children up to the age of 11 years. I will be offering a four day week due to caring for my grandchildren on a Monday in another area.
I have also been a foster carer for three years, caring for newborn babies, and young children up to the age of 8 years. This was a wonderful rewarding experience but emotional as we said goodbye to them and they began their new lives.
I have recently been a nanny to one year old twins and also a nanny to a 4 mth old baby working for a childcare agency.
