My Summary

My Experience

I have worked as a registered childminder for eighteen years caring for children from age range of 4 months to 11 years. I hold a current paediatric first aid qualification.

I regularly attend childminding groups so as to keep up to date with latest developments. I also attend training courses provided by the Local Authority such as Child Protection, Observation, Assessment and Planning and early maths.

Before I trained as a childminder I used to volunteer at James Brindley Primary School doing activies such as baking,reading, number work, supervising outdoor play. I have also covered for teaching assistants during their absence. My experience was mainly in the nursery class.


I have experience of working with children with special needs and previously provided care for a little boy with down's syndrome.

I also have references/letters of recommendation from parents of children I have cared for.
