My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Rachael at Little Smiles Childminding. I am a fully qualified, Ofsted Registered and DBS checked childminder based in Cuddington, Cheshire with 3 amazing children of my own. I provide a caring, happy and fun home environment for your little ones to grow.
Ages: 0-5 years
Location: near to Sandiway Primary School
Days: Monday - Thursday
Hours: 8am - 5pm
At Little Smiles our days are filled with lots of activities; toddler groups, visiting parks, going on woodland walks, having fun in the garden, crafting, 'rhyme time' at the library, lots of reading and singing, role play, messy play and outings to various places such as Chester Zoo, Gro-zone, soft play centres, Delamere Forest and many more.
I provide a balanced routine of free play, structured learning and creative activities, opportunities to socialise, lots of outdoor play and quiet time as needed. I will always support your child's individual needs in a nurturing and engaging way.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to support your child's 'learning journey' and I send out a daily diary so you can see what your little one has been up to.
I provide healthy food choices including nutritious and well balanced home cooked dinners.
I have a great space indoors and outdoors with tuff tray activities and spending time on the play equipment. There are lots of opportunities to role play with the kitchen, village shop and ice-cream truck.
Feel free to message me with any questions or arrange a visit. I'd love to welcome your little one to my friendly setting.
My Experience
I have been working as a childminder for nearly 2 years. Prior to this I have 7 years experience bringing up my 3 children as well as several years in the role of Chair for St John Sandiway Toddler Group. This gave me lots of experience with children and was the motivation behind me becoming a childminder.
I'd be happy to provide references on request.
