About Me

My name is Nicola Hallyburton, I am 41 years old and I have been a fully registered child-minder (Inchture Teddy Tots Childminding service) with the care inspectorate since August 2018,

I live in the village of Inchture with my husband Robert, and my two sons, Daniel (10) and Ben (7), We have lived here for 10 years and we absolutely love being part of village life.

I previously worked as a section leader in Asda (various departments) for 18 years before I decided that I would register to become a childminder. I love children and love watching and helping them grow.

My Experience

As a busy mother of two, I am well aware of the demands and responsibilities involved in caring for children. I have no doubt that the experiences that I have had already with bringing up my own children help me in my role as a childminder.

My Qualifications

As part of my pre-registration training I successfully completed an induction course in childminding ran by the local Early Years Team and approved by the Care Inspectorate. The course covered a wide range of subjects including child protection, health and safety, child development and behaviour management. I have done child protection training and obtained my First Aid Certificate for babies and young children. I also make full use of the training workshops provided by the Early Years Team and by the local college as they become available covering a variety of areas from child development and special needs to play experiences and nutrition and hygiene. I believe it is vitally important to continue to further my training and refresh my skills in order for me to provide a good quality childcare service. I have just been accepted and put on the waiting list to undertake my SVQ3 in childcare through Perth College.
In addition to the above I believe that the following experience & skills will also assist me in providing a successful childminding service:

? I am a fit and active individual with plenty of energy to provide children with a stimulating environment with a wide variety of fun and educational activities.
? I regularly attend toddler groups where I have the opportunity to speak with other childminders and listen to their experiences and advice.
