Vandna

About Me

My name is Vandna Najran and I am a qualified Early Years Practitioner with a level 3 diploma in Early Years Education. I have 4 years experience looking after children. I am situated next to Palmers Rough, local nature reserve and at the back of Streetsbrook Infant and Early Years Academy. It is a beautiful quiet spot where early mornings are filled with birdsong. In the afternoons children's laughter can be heard from Streetsbrook Infant and Early Years Academy which is a stone's throw away. I am located two minutes from Streetsbrook Infant school (rear entrance) and five minutes from Sharman's Cross School.

I do school pick ups and drop offs at Streetsbrook, Tudor Grange Primary and Sharmans Cross School all of which are on my doorstep.

The service offer

In this natural setting I offer an Ofsted registered, safe and stimulating child care provision. I focus on providing love and care and healthy breakfast and snacks.

As well as fun, creative arts and crafts and sports activities, I am educated to degree level and offer support with homework .

I know that good values are the bedrock of positive child development and shape lives. I bring good values and character building to life by:

- Simple story telling.
- Encouraging children to read short stories based on simple morale's
- Teaching children about the consequences of their behaviour
- Encouraging children to re-tell these stories, using props such as puppets to perform for others
- Link arts and crafts to story telling

This helps with:

- Presentational skills
- Speech and language and communication development
- Numeracy and literacy development

I am passionate about ensuring every child has the right start in life. This includes supporting children to identify their strengths early on and gain confidence to make the right choices for themselves.

Partnerships

I am committed to working in partnership with parents, schools and the Solihull Council Early Years Team. I am particularly keen to support parents who are working, who require the extra support and schools who are struggling to provide one to one care or manage behaviour that may be better managed in small group settings

I am passionate about developing children's Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED). This involves activities that help with mental and emotional well being such as journaling, yoga, story telling and creative writing

Safeguarding is of course the number one priority. I ensure our processes, practices and policies embed safeguarding and prioritise the health and safety of your child.
