My Summary
Ofsted Registered Childminder
About Me
Little Learners is run by myself and my wife Sarah, who is also a registered childminder with Ofsted, Sarah has a BA honours in early years.
Sarah started Little Learns by herself and I joined just over 2 years ago as her assistant.
We have 3 children aged 28, 21 and 20 years old, a westie Dog, and 3 Cats.
My Interests are in Cars, Music, Football, DIY, Family, Holidays and learning how to improve what I can do to help others.
I do like to spend time with my Dad who is 92 he is my hero and I’ve learnt so much from his vast knowledge, experiences and his continued encouragement to make it in life.
As a family man I’ve found it’s always been important to show our children the right way to go about life, including go out and make your dreams come true, however we have guided them so you should always be polite, knowledgeable and helpful, respect others and live life to the full and become a better person.
My Experience
I have worked for over 2 years within early years sector.
We are registered to accept children from birth, also accepting the 9 months, 2 years and 3-4 year old Early Years Funding 15/30 hours funding.
I have worked alongside my wife for just over 2 years as an assistant and I was previously chairman at a preschool in 2013-2015.
This is where I built my passion for early years learning.
I strongly believe a home from home setting provides children with confidence with separation from their family.
Having a male dynamic in the setting has proven to be a positive one for all the children.
We work together with the children and the parents/carers to make sure your child’s stay with us is full of fun and learning within a protected environment.
The children will blossom with confidence to learn through their own and group experiences, while also being guided through an adult lead learning and play activities, improving their overall learning, confidence and knowledge and give them the tools needed before they start their school journey.
We also understand and are supportive of children who need a little longer to learn things in their own time.
Between both of us we have done many, many courses including Paediatric first aid and Safeguarding, this has given me an even better knowledge of how children learn and need to be protected and cared for, this helps me improve their learning experience.
We have many exciting activities, from walks in the woods, trips to the park, nature reserves, strawberry picking, bird world, garden centres, water play, challenging games, learning games, cooking, exploring, pond dipping, rubbing, running, Climbing, trips to the library, churches, interacting with other children to help them learn.
Here are just some of the ways we help your child Learn, numbers, Letters, Shapes, Colours, Days of the week, Months, years, manners, sharing, drawing, painting, writing, art work, singing plus much more.
Allowing a child to explore and learn by themselves is also a big part of growing up, relationships building, confidence building and the ability to try everything and not be afraid try, with encouragement a child can achieve anything.
To find out more on how we can support your child and help them grow with confidence and be knowledgeable to start school, please DM us through this App.
