Busy Tiny Hands

About Me

Hi,
My name is Yada(Fern), my setting is called Busy Tiny Hands Childminding. I am an Ofsted registered, DBS checked and Full Paediatric First Aid trained childminder living in Swanley with my husband and my 4 year old son. I love spending time with my son and nephews, we love to explore, play and learn.

I live in a detached house with a downstairs playroom, kitchen and toilet for children to access and lots of resources that will assist children with their learning and development.
Our house has a spacious back garden for children to play, explore and learn. We are a fun-loving, easy going and non-smoking family.

My setting provides an enabling environment which provides a home from home atmosphere. My setting also provides a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for the children. Children should be happy which is why a relaxing environment is most important, when they are happy they let themselves go and interact with their environment and those around them which leads to fun productive play and learning. As a mother I understand safety is a top priority for parents and its also my top priority. I will treat your child like my own so you need not have any concerns about your child’s wellbeing when in my care.

I believe that all children have the right to expect positive approaches to managing their behaviour, which foster self-esteem, respect, tolerance and self-control enabling them to develop to their full potential as individuals. I use the latest recommendations from paediatric professionals to help children manage their behaviour and help them deal with their developing emotions. Children in my care will be encouraged to develop social skills to help them interact with others and prepare them for the big milestone of starting school.
My setting will provides lots of activities which will help children develop and learn through play, for example Messy play, Art & Craft, Role play, Story time, Rhythm & Rhyme, going out, self-care etc..

I can provide healthy breakfast and snacks at your request, I have completed Level 2 Food Hygiene & Safety(Catering) and also Food Allergy and Intolerance courses. Children are encouraged to take part in preparing meals and snacks to motivate their healthy eating.
