About Me

I am a childminder living in Clacton. I am DBS checked and Paediatric First Aid trained, Food Allergy trained too. I go on regular training to keep up to date with my knowledge. A full list of my Qualifications and Experience is listed below.

I am able to take funded children from 2 years old and also offer 3 and 4 year old funding too. I have a large back garden with play area so the children have lots of space to run around and play.
We have a large selection of toys inside and outside for all ages. I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and do termly reports. I use Tapestry to put the childrens photos and progress on. The EYFS is a framework for children up to the age of five years old, it helps children to learn through play.

I have two children of my own, 14 and 18.

My Experience

I have been a childminder since 2008 and really enjoy helping children achieve their full potential. I have lots of energy and I am a bubbly person. Please find below the full list of my training and experience.
I do have knowledge of children with special needs.

Reviews

Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

When my daughter first started going to Louise, she made sure I was kept updated throughout the day to keep my mind at ease. They’re always out and about, and not cooped up indoors. My daughters speech has progressed lots since September and looks forward to her days with Louise. We have a nursery at the end of our road but we still opt for louise! Highly recommend.

Louise has looked after all three of my children over the last 3 years and is still childminding my youngest who is now 3 , and I haven't a bad word to say about this lady ! She is always happy , full of life and on the go , taking the kids out to the zoo , park , beach or on some other adventure , my boys have always come home well fed , happy and usually with something in hand they have made that day !i would like to add , louise also put a lot of work into helping my youngest with his delayed speech problems , witch benefited him no end. Louise is a very trustworthy childminder I would recommend her to anyone :)
