My Summary
The Bear Den
About Me
Welcome to The Bear Den, a warm and nurturing childminding service based in the heart of Pudsey. I am dedicated to providing a safe, stimulating, and homely environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I live with my husband of 19 years and our 17 year old daughter who are both also DBS checked and our Cockapoo Charlie. We live in a quite Cul-de-sac location with an enclosed rear garden. My focus is on supporting each child’s individual development through engaging activities tailored to their interests and needs. With a strong emphasis on creating a caring and inclusive atmosphere, I aim to build strong partnerships with parents to ensure the best possible start for every child.
My Experience
As a newly qualified childminder this year, I may not have years of professional experience, but I bring with me the knowledge and skills I have gained from raising my own daughter. With a strong foundation in childcare and a genuine passion for nurturing and supporting children, I am excited to embark on this new journey. I am committed to creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for the children in my care, and I look forward to watching them grow and thrive under my guidance.
