My Summary
About Me
I am a fully qualified childminder, my name is Jo. I have 16 years experience working with children of all ages.
Where I live...
I live in Braintree and cover Lyons Hall Primary School. I make full use of the groups and facilities local to me and will often go to parks, libraries, stay and play groups and local fields.
My family.....
I live in with my husband Paul, my son Sam (28), my daughter Maddison (7) and our gorgeous cat Sparkle (1). I also work alongside my mum Lyn, who is my assistant and will aide me with the care of your children.
My home and facilities....
I live in a lovely cosy family home, with a lovely sized garden. Children will have access to our playroom; filled with a great variety of toys and games for all ages, our snug; where the children can sit down and also occasionally watch the TV. They also have access to the garden, which includes a trampoline, swing, mud kitchen, slide, basket ball hoop and lots of great outdoor toys. The children also have access to lots of craft activities, including; painting, sand, sticking and play dough. I have a downstairs toilet, and baby changing facilities. The lounge is used as a bedroom, for children to nap.
Why I chose childcare....
I have been involved with children and various forms of childcare for a long time. I chose childminding because I enjoy being around children and providing them with the opportunity to learn and develop. My aim is to create a setting where children feel safe and secure. I want my home to be loving and caring and an environment where children love coming to and often do not want to leave. I work hard to ensure I have a professional but friendly relationship with parents.
My Experience
As well as bringing up my own 4 children, I have also had 9 years of experience working in a secondary school. At this school, I worked as a learning support assistant, aiding children in their studies; preparing them for their future. Not only was I helping the children with their studies, I was also played a part in helping with personal issues and the children found me friendly and approachable.
I have then been a childminder for 7 years and it is the most rewarding job to date.
