My Summary
About Me
I am mum to now 11 year old twin girls and a 5 year old son. They have given me a lot of experience in looking after younger children, along with their friends, they make my house a lively and loving home. We enjoy crafts and reading and music and, most of all, being outdoors.
I am keen for all children to grow up with an all- round healthy lifestyle, being outdoors and active is a big part of that, but also eating well, taking care of mental health and personal hygiene.
My home is set up with separate areas for messy play, eating, baby toys, home corner, reading, construction and imaginative play.
In our back garden, we have a relaxing and eating area backing onto a secure grass/tarmac area for outdoor play. In the back garden, there is an area for older children and a toddler safe outdoor area with activities and sensory play. There is a mud kitchen and a small climbing / playhouse area. My home is smoke and pet free.
I live 5 minutes away from the fantastic Colwick Country Park. It’s my go-to place for spending time with children. We enjoy walking, visiting the ducks, building dens and playing.
My family is multicultural and we enjoy taking part in all events in our community.
I am conveniently located close to the A612 with good bus routes and a park & ride nearby.
My Experience
I have now been childminding for 5 years and really love my role, nurturing little ones and watching them grow. I have developed the most wonderful relationships with families. Probably the most rewarding experience so far has been building the children's relationships with each other and seeing a beautiful community evolve.
I have been rated as outstanding and this is down to knowing the children really well, and tailoring our activities to their interests and gently helping them develop.
Before training as a childminder early educator, I taught in secondary school for 18 years.
I am passionate about education and I have the added bonus of being able to offer expert maths homework help for the older wraparound clientel.
I love being creative and ran a family activity group when my girls were younger. I have a well-stocked craft cupboard and enjoy being creative with my childmindees of all ages.
Whilst homeschooling daughters (then 6/7) in lockdown and watching their relationship with their baby brother grow, I felt a calling for a new opportunity where I can use my skills in a different way.
I am registered as a home educator with an ofsted registered agency giving you extra assurance of quality provision through regular inspections and up to date training
I use an EY log app to keep you updated with your child’s learning journey and daily diary and reports.
