My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Clare
I have been working as a Registerd Childminder since July 2007 and working with children since 1988 when I qualified as a Nursery nurse
I am N.N.E.B trained and have worked as a Nanny here in Stockton and Hurworth then I moved down south returned to the North East worked as a Nanny again then as a Deputy Manager in a local nursery before then deciding to implement all my childcare knowledge and early years education in my home as a Childminder
Since then that is what I chosen to do and Ii love my job it is my career
I spend time planning my week to ensure your children have a mixed range of learning self exploring social interactions and generally having fun
I take great pride in my job and love being around the many different little people and not so little people in my care
I know and totally understand how hard it is to leave your most precious bundle with a person that you barely know I am a Mum to 1 son who is turning 21 in the summer now and I totally appreciate how hard it is
I have references from all my employers from my first Nanny job to my current and past childminding parents
I currently care for a baby whose Mummy was my first ever baby that I cared for as a Nanny back in 1988
I hope that in meeting me then seeing my home and after a few visits and a welcoming chat I can put you at ease so that you can return to work happy and confident that your little one is in good hands
I have a welcome pack that I can drop off to you for you to have a look at with all my qualifications references etc so that you have a bit of information before we meet
I enjoy the outdoors I am a member of the national trust and English heritage
I love spending time outdoors on a weekend at fountains abbey and various other local places of beauty and I also enjoy going out and about with the children in my care to local farms parks and beaches
I recently had my OFSTED inspection and I was delighted to be given OUTSTANDING.....
Just had my second ofsted inspection and I am delighted to have received outstanding again as I was informed the bar has been raised and it is even harder to get this now so I am thrilled
Just had my inspection 2019 and again totally over the moon to be graded OUTSTANDING with no recomendations I am very happy with that I put a lot of time into my business always looking at how to improve and to encourage my children to learn explore and gain in confidence and independance to see them do this makes me very proud
Ofsted where very impressed with how the children learn in my care through play and exploring following their own interest's and loved to see the bond that I have with them
My ofsted report is available for you to look at as is a copy of my welcome pack if you would like to contact me I can arrange to send one out
I hold regular parent evenings and summer garden parties and Christmas all families are invited for mince pies and mulled wine
This is all I can think of to say .....
