My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Leah Payne and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I am a mother to three wonderful daughters; they are all adults now and have beautiful children of their own.
I am looking forward to helping the children in my care learn and grow; develop and become ready for school. Helping my minded children to build relationships, learn from me and each other to become confident little people.
My Experience
I am Ofsted registered; I had my first inspection in Nov 2021 when I was graded GOOD. Please message me regarding availability.
My setting is a beautiful log cabin housed within the grounds of our Farm. It boasts a playroom, a quiet room, kitchen/dining room and downstairs toilet facilities. We have a large garden and a large field. I encourage children to play and explore outside on a daily basis. As well as outdoor activities the children have access to a wide variety of craft, baking and play resources in the setting.
Walrow Farm Childminding Services offer interactions with our family pets; these include: two cats, our dog; Tula, two sheep, two rabbits and three Guinea Pigs. The animals we keep at Walrow Farm are all pets and are all very friendly, the children will be able to interact with the animals under supervision.
I am kind, warm, friendly and calm. I offer a relaxed homely environment in which your child can flourish, I encourage children to learn though play and provide a wide range of activities that build on all aspects of learning and development.
All activities and outings are varied as much as possible to ensure each child is learning from a wide range of experiences. Children learn best when they understand healthy boundaries, so I have set out some simple house rules for them to follow, I encourage children to be independent and give praise for good behaviour.
I communicate with parents face to face at drop off and pick up times and send a daily WhatsApp update including photos. I work in line with the EYFS.
I work to an exceptional standard to ensure your child learns and grows though their experiences and play. I am looking forward to welcoming you and your child into my family. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
