Dimi
Childminder in Bedford (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I provide a rich, enabling environment where children can explore, play, and develop at their own pace, in line with the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The rooms are carefully organised with a wide range of resources accessible at children’s height, promoting independence and supporting children to make their own choices in play.
This approach reflects the EYFS commitment to child-led learning, where children learn best through active exploration and following their own interests. By creating an environment that encourages independence and curiosity, I support each child as a unique individual, helping them to develop confidence, resilience, and a love for learning.
I also ensure that the environment supports the EYFS areas of learning and development, offering opportunities for children to build their communication and language skills, physical development, and personal, social, and emotional development through meaningful play experiences.
My Experience
My childcare experience began when I had my first child four years ago. Following this, I worked as a nursery assistant for just over a year before going on maternity leave to have my second child. As a mother of two and through my experience working in a nursery setting, I have developed strong knowledge and skills in children’s learning and development. My role required me to complete training courses, plan activities, observe children, and support their learning and development in a safe and nurturing environment.
