My Summary

Aj's Adventures Childminding

My Experience

I have over 10 years experience of working with children and their families. I have worked in Early Years Settings, including private nurseries and mainstream schools.  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 play has been a keen interest of mine since having my own son and this is something I incorporate in my home from home childminding setting. 

Over the last 5 years I have specialised in working to support children’s emotional health and wellbeing , including supporting them to understand and manage their emotions. I therefore use a therapeutic approach in my setting and my curriculum focuses on teaching emotional literacy skills which is a crucial part in children's overall learning & development and is something that will set foundations for life.
