About Me
Hello and welcome to Little Duckling’s childcare. I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Weston-super-Mare. I provide home based childcare for children aged around 12 months and above throughout the week, including weekends and bank holiday’s.
I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate, am fully insured, and have qualifications in Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding Children, Food Hygiene, and other relevant areas of childcare. I also work alongside a registered assistant, enabling us to provide attentive, high-quality care and support for all children within our setting.
My aim is to provide a warm, welcoming, safe, and stimulating environment where children feel valued, secure, and supported. I am committed to helping each child learn, develop, and grow in confidence, encouraging them to become happy and independent learners.
I offer a wide range of age-appropriate toys, games, and learning resources, as well as a spacious garden with plenty of outdoor play equipment. Outdoor play forms an important part of our daily routine and is enjoyed in all weather conditions where appropriate.
There will also be occasions for the children to go out on outings / trips. This could be at playgroups, parks, the beach, children’s centres and other locations.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework is closely followed, ensuring that children have access to a wide range of engaging and enjoyable activities that support their individual interests and developmental needs. Through play-based learning and meaningful experiences, children are encouraged to reach their full potential and make the most of every day they spend at Little Ducklings Childcare.
My Experience
I am an Ofsted-registered childminder, registered since 2021. As a parent to two children aged 9 and 10, I bring both professional and personal experience to supporting children’s learning, development, and wellbeing. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
My Qualifications
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and am fully insured. I have completed training in Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding Children, and Food Hygiene, ensuring I maintain high standards of care, safety, and wellbeing for all children in my setting. In addition, I regularly undertake continuing professional development and complete further training throughout the year to keep my knowledge and skills up to date. This enables me to remain informed of current legislation, best practice, and the evolving needs of children, ensuring I provide the highest quality care and support.
