My Summary

About Me
I am a mum of two young children myself and have lots of experience looking after young children, I am a passionate caregiver and attentive to children's needs. I believe that learning through play is a fundamental part of early years education. My setting is open planned with lots of space to move and play. We have a nice sized, secure garden for outside play that has a play house with kitchen area, ride on toys, sand tables and water wall and a trampoline for older children. We will be doing planting/gardening activities and often get squirrels visit the garden. I love being outdoors and will be actively encouraging nature school activities at our local country park as well as attending various baby and toddler groups. I provide healthy snacks and fresh drinking water daily to the children in my care and promote self care and personal hygiene skills in my setting to boost children's independence. I give regular updates to parents on settling in and learning journals via a child-minding app so guardians can see what the children do throughout there time with me. I accept funded placements.
My Experience
I have now been a childminder since March and have experience of looking after different ages and multiple children at once. I am also a mum of two fully grown children who have now flown the nest and to two young children still at home. I have experience of children with SEND needs. I have worked in various soft play settings and as a children's entertainer in my younger years. I worked as a support worker for families in the social housing sector for 4 years. My previous business was centred around creating children's wear. I have a range of experience with crafts through that business and will be promoting expressive arts and craft activities in my setting. In previous work in hospitality I have gained extensive knowledge in COSHH, food hygiene and allergen training.

Beth is such a loving and caring childminder who I would highly recommend. My little girl started with her in September and loves going ahead even asks to go on days she isn’t due to go on. She comes home with artwork and she is always going to new places whether it’s soft play music groups etc. I was worried over my little girl starting due to her being with me all the time but I was worried over nothing as Beth made her feel safe and comfortable she now goes running in and isn’t phased at all. Thank you for all you do x
