My Summary
About Me
Name: Katherine Garrity
Age: 36
Location: East Dunstable, LU5 (Katherine Drive area)
Qualifications: Ofsted Registered, Level 3 Introductory Training Course to Childminding, Paediatric First Aid, DBS Checked
Hello!
My name is Katherine Garrity aged 36, and I'm a registered childminder based in East Dunstable. I live at home with my husband James and our two girls Rose and Elora. We are a smoke and pet free home and both myself and James hold DBS certificates and first aid training.
I will provide a safe, warm and stimulating home-from-home environment with a dedicated play area, garden, and a range of educational toys and resources for children aged 9months - 8 years. Each child is treated as an individual, and I will work closely with parents to make sure their needs and routines are respected. I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to support your child's learning and development and regularly plan activities such as sensory play, outdoor adventures, crafts, and story time.
I am lucky enough to live close to local play groups, parks, museums and Whipsnade Zoo, which will give children the opportunity to be educated and explore our local community.
I look forward to hearing from you.
My Experience
Since having my own children five years a go I have come to realise my passion for childcare and what I can do to help shape young minds. I absolutely love helping my little ones learn, play and grow in a safe nurturing environment.
I have experience in all things motherhood, from weaning to potty training and passionate about early childhood learning.
