My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder, living in Cranfield.
Previous to deciding to become a childminder, I was a qualified primary school teacher, a job which I left after I had my daughter who is now 8. I also now have another daughter born in October 2018.
Working with children in the early years is my passion, and I find it amazing watching and discovering how young children learn through play and meaningful learning experiences. I have a welcoming home with a garden and have a wealth of different toys and activities for all ages that cater for all aspects of the early years foundation stage and above.
I thoroughly enjoy creating messy and sensory play opportunities for the children I work with and I have also run my own successful messy play business in the local area.
I am a creative person and enjoy thinking of new fun activities that I can do with my daughters and other children. I also have passes to the national trust, English heritage, and I visit local groups and places such as the library and gymnastics centre. I use these to full advantage with the children I look after as well as visiting local parks and lakes etc.
Despite being a fully qualified teacher, I have also attended many courses to further my knowledge to provide the best for the children I look after.
I am fully paediatric first aid trained, DBS Checked and hold a recent food health hygiene certificate..
Aside from this I enjoy making things (in particular knitting and sewing!) cooking and baking, and going for walks with my family.
My Experience
Being a qualified primary school teacher means that I have experience looking after a wide variety of children and ages as this involved working not just in schools, but also in early years settings as part of my training. Having my own daughter means I am also experienced in looking after young children and babies.
