My Summary
About Me
Hello everyone,
I'm Jo and I live with my two sons David (aged 10), George (aged 7) and our two friendly cats.
I currently offer care during the school holidays only.
I'm a big believer of 'learn through play' and try to add the outdoors to our activities. The older children help pick things on our walks such as sticks for our 'stickman' or rocks for our rock arts that we place around town for others to find.
We have an allotment that has been a big hit with the kids, who have enjoyed picking fruit to mix with our youghurts or just simply digging for gold.
I enjoy working with children and helping achieve their own goals by offering a child-centered approach in a home setting. Children will be treated as individuals and be given the opportunity to play and learn in a warm, safe, friendly environment, both in and outside of my setting.
The safety of the children in my care is paramount, I carry out risk assessments to ensure the balance between safety and learning development is met.
My Experience
I completed my QCF childcare course in 2012 whilst doing voluntary work for a year at a local nursery. Once I had my own children I decided I enjoy the freedom to go out on sunny days, enjoy the local festivals/ activities the town has to offer and help children learn through everyday tasks (eg going to shops, help choose lunch, pay for products and then help prepare food).
Since then I have undertaken training to become a childminder, this includes:
• Childcare workshop
• Paediatric First Aid
• Food hygiene
• Safeguarding and child protection
