About Me

My name is Leanne and I am a pre registered childminder in Castleford. I aim to provide professional care for children from the ages of 9 months to 5 years old. Offering a nurturing and stimulating environment which is safe and secure. 

My Experience

I obtained a Degree in Social Work in 2018 and have over 10 years experience of working with children (ages 0-18 years) and their families. I have specialised in working to support children’s emotional health and wellbeing and supporting their care givers to offer a more therapeutic and connective style of parenting. Supporting children to understand and manage their emotions is a crucial part in their overall learning and development and is something that will set foundations for life. 

Throughout my training to become a Social Worker, I completed work experience in Early Years Settings, including private nurseries and mainstream schools. Throughout my career I have worked with families from diverse backgrounds and pride myself in being understanding and accepting of other’s lived experiences.  Working with children has always been a passion of mine and throughout 2022/2023, I ran my own messy stay and play group sessions which I loved! Sensory and messy play has been a keen interest of mine since having my own son and this is something I incorporate in my childminding setting.
