My Summary
About Me
Hello. My name is Jennie and I live in Barming.
I have been working in childcare since 2008, starting off in a nursery setting, 13 years as a private nanny and now childminding since November 2020.
I care for EYFS age (Birth-5years) only so my home is generally a more quiet and calm setting.
I am a fun, caring and confident individual.
I provide daily fun activities indoors - messy/sensory play, tuff tray activities, activities and crafts centred around annual events for example Halloween, Christmas etc.
Outings to include play parks, country parks, beach days, farms, toddler groups, soft play centres and regular play dates with fellow childminders/friends.
Each week term time I have a different topic for the children to keep things fun fresh and new - providing activities, crafts and books linked to the topic.
Along side 3 of my childminder friends, we run our own forest school, providing a specialised learning approach that offers children regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences/activities, to explore their surroundings and to allow their imaginations to flourish in a natural woodland environment.
We are also very fortunate to have a well known music company visit my home regularly for fun music, singing and movement sessions that all the children and myself thoroughly enjoy.
There are of course ample opportunities for the children to free play too - this allows the children to freely discover their likes, dislikes, develop friendships, learn independently and have lots of unstructured fun as well.
I live with my husband, our young daughter and our friendly and gentle house cat.
Our home offers lots of space indoors and outside and a gated driveway away from the road.
