About Me

Hi we are Bright Eyes Childcare and our names are Karen and Jasmine. Karen has worked with children aged 0-5 for 9 years in a nursery setting and has been registered as a childminder since 2011. Jasmine acquired her registration as a childminder in 2014 and we are now working together.

My Experience

Karen has worked in a nursery setting with children aged 0-5 years for 9 years so has a good knowledge of the EYFS and how to observe and plan activities for individual children. She worked within all areas of the nursery and has a good understanding of child development for each age group. She also has experience of raising her own children, one of which is Jasmine and the other Megan so she is more than familiar with the teenage years !
Jasmine acquired her registration and works alongside Karen. She has attended many training courses along the way. She has 2 children of her own so is familiar with babies and toddlers.

My Qualifications

Karen holds a Level 3 certificate in Childcare and Development
We both have a current first aid certificate and also food hygiene and Safe guarding/child protection
Karen has attended many training courses including :-
- Portage
- Inclusive Practice
and many other activity based courses.
She also holds a Level 3 certificate in Counselling Skills.

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

24 October 2022
Children attending this setting are cared for in a warm, home-from-home environment where they make good progress. A clear routine helps them feel safe, develop self-discipline, and build independence, such as trying new foods and caring for pets. Healthy, home-cooked meals are tailored to individual dietary needs, and parents praise the strong daily communication they receive. Effective safeguarding practices ensure children's safety at all times. While the curriculum is well organised, it does not always build on children's existing knowledge to plan clear next steps in their learning, which has been identified as an area for further development.

My little boy started with Karen at 9 months old, and loves it!

He is well looked after, the food is great and he's never shed a tear when I've left in the morning. Karen regularly takes him swimming, and to local farms and parks, and he has learnt so much from his time there.

I would definitely recommend using Bright Eyes Childcare!
