My Summary
About Me
I own Mini Marvels home nursery which I have run since September 2021. I am a mother to 1 boy and live with my husband and our cat and soon to be puppy. I am working with an Ofsted registered agency who were recently graded ‘Effective’ by Ofsted, the highest grade for a childminding agency. I aim to provide a play-based learning environment in a comfortable home setting.
I have 1 assistant who is here with me regularly. She is also experienced in childcare and has had first aid, DBS checks and training in safeguarding.
I look to provide regular exciting activities such as messy play, outdoor activities, arts and crafts and music sessions.
We enjoy taking regular trips to Mote Park, Wildwood, the library and the museum to encourage learning within our community. We also attend play groups within the community to allow the children to socialise in larger groups and to build on their experiences of the world around them.
My Experience
I have worked in a nursery in America for over 2 years, and as an au pair in Ireland for a year. Since moving to England in 2014, I have trained for my NVQ level 3 and worked at the same setting for 6 years. I have since made the career change to childminding and have enjoyed my time working with a mix of all ages from 8 months to 8 years.
