About Me
My name is Leanne and I am a newly registered childminder in Castleford. I am now open to welcome children into setting from January 2027. I cannot wait to begin my childminding journey and offer a nurturing and stimulating environment which is safe and secure. I live in the Glasshoughton area with my Husband and our 4 year old son.
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.
