About Me

I have 2 sons - Adam is 23 and is living at home at the moment, working in a local restaurant.
Ross is 21 and a SAC in the RAF. he is currently based at Cosford, Wolverhampton, and is home some weekends.
My husband Bernard is retired.
My hobbies include reading and number puzzles, and I keep fit with exercise classes and T'ai chi as well as lots of walking. I have been an Assistant Scout leader for over 10 years now after becoming an Assistant Cub leader when Adam joined (I was minding the Cub leader's child at the time!)
I do lots of fund-raising for my Scout troop, 3rd Lowton St Catherine's, and also help at fund -raising events for St Catherine's Church.

My Experience

I have been a registered childminder for almost 20 years now, and have looked after over 80 children in that time. I am still in contact with many of my families, and a lot of my minded children-both girls and boys- have been scouts in my troop.
As a childminder I have attended numerous training courses including the mandatory First Aid , Safeguarding Children and Food Hygiene. I am registered with the Food Standards Agency, and have also completed my NVQ Level 3 in Children's Care, Learning and Development.

My Qualifications

In addition to the courses mentioned above, I have also attended training in the Early Years Foundation Stage, including Observation, Assessment and Recording. I plan individual activities for each child in the EYFS, working in partnership with parents and using my observations as a basis. Individual develpoment files are sent home regularly for families to enjoy together.
Other courses I have attended include:
Health & Safety in the Workplace,
Coping With Separation, Grief & Loss in Early Years,
CAF for Childminders,(Common Assessment Framework),
SEF Training,
I Exist,
Welfare Requirements Workshop,
Dealing With Challenging Behaviour.
I have applied to attend training on Asthma & Epilepsy Awareness, and am happy to attend any further training required to meet a child's individual needs.

I can work from 7:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday.
I take children to and pick up from St Catherine's Primary School, Lowton.
I am willing to accommodate shifts to some extent, but have evening commitments on certain nights.
I work throughout the school holidays and may be able to provide holiday cover for children from other schools.
