Bethany
Childminder in Barnsley
My Summary
About Me
Hi I am Bethany and I am 30 years old. I am local to the Pogmoor/Barnsley Hospital area. I have worked with young children since leaving school and I have always been passionate about working with children in Early Years and of Primary age due to my Early Years and Primary Teaching background/experience. I am a very fun and enthusiastic person that provides lots of free-flow and child-initiated play, themes/ topics and days out that follow the EYFS curriculum. I believe a lot in life skills from a young age, resilience and independence where possible, and this is weaved into my EYFS curriculum. Children’s interests and preferences are always taken on board to be included within my provision. I am a very crafty and creative person so you can be sure we will always be making, creating, cooking and baking!
I have an indoor cat called Luna, and a pet policy in place. If your child is allergic to cats, they will NOT be able to attend my setting.

Please contact me on FB - Beth’s Baby Bears as I do not have a Childcare G Membership. I will receive a message if you send one on Childcare first but it does not allow me to answer phone calls.
Currently taking enquiries for September 2026!
