My Summary
About Me
My name is Wendy and i live in southwestdenton , just off the a69 roundabout . I’ve been working as a childminder since 2012 and I absolutely love what I do. I live at home with my husband Steve, my daughter Millie (who is 20) and my son Luke (who is 24 )when he is home from working abroad.
My Experience
I worked in a local school as a nursery nurse for 17 years , and was also a foster carer for 10 years which gave me valuable experience supporting children from a variety of backgrounds with different individual needs , these roles helped shape my caring, patient, and nurturing approach that I still bring into my childminding setting today.
I work in a larger childminding setting alongside assistants who support me each day . All of my assistants are fully dbs checked , first aid trained and suitable to work with children , helping us provide a safe, Caring and fun environment for every child in our care.
Over the years I have had the absolute privilege of watching so many children grow in confidence , learn new skills and develop into happy little individuals.
Throughout my years of experience, I have worked with children of different ages, personalities, and needs, including children with additional needs and SEN experience.
Childminding is more than just a job to me , it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take great pride in, I feel blessed to be apart of children’s early years supporting families at such an important part of their lives.
