My Summary
About Me
I am Married and live with my husband, 2 children, a dog and a cat. I love being at home bringing up our 2 children. I have enjoyed it so much that I would like to offer my service to other working parents. As a family we enjoy being outdoors. We have a large enclosed back graden which benefits from swings, slides, see saws, trampolines and a wooden play house. As I have 2 young chldren of my own, we have a huge range of toys for both boys and girls. We are very fortunate in the area that we live in as there are numerous woodland and river walks nearby. I attend a variety of activities with my own children including swimming, baby bop, active start, bookbug and toddler/baby groups.
My Experience
I am a qualified primary school teacher and have taught for 13 years. Throughout my 13 years of teaching I have attended various courses which are also relevant to Childminding. Some of these include first aid, child protection, food hygiene, the 3-18 curriculum and learning in the early years to name but a few. I have taught all ages from 3 years old right up to 12 years old. I have learnt a huge amount about children from aged 0-3 years old through my experience of being a mum.

My Availability
I am very flexible and easy going and will try my best to work within your needs. I am a parent myself and fully understand the demands of working parents. At present I have 1 full time space or a combination of part time spaces available for a child under the age of 5.
I also have space for 3 children aged 5 years and over, who I can look after before and after school and also on In-service days and the school holidays. I am able to drop off and pick up children from local nurseries and primary schools. I would also be willing to pick up and drop off children at their home address if this fits in with our daily schedule and the needs of the child's parents.
