My Summary
About Me
I HAVE VACANCIES !!
I have two grown-up children of my own and 7 grandchildren. I am a Childminder and Ofsted registered with 'Good' Grading (2024), providing care for babies and children up to 8 years. I have completed my Foundation Degree in Early Years Childcare and Education Level 5 at the University of Portsmouth (2013).
I offer a caring, homely atmosphere for children to have fun, learn and interact with each other. I offer part time and full time places. I cater for pre-school, after school drop off to the local school. I enjoy caring for children aged 2- 10 who have a dedicated playroom with a variety of resources. Children are able to play in the garden, go for walks, play at local parks, visit the library and attend play groups. Outings e.g. to the theatre or circus are also arranged.
I provide an inclusive practice and all children are welcome in my setting regardless of nationality, culture or religion. I provide Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) education for children up to 5 years. I have experience with children with special educational needs. FREE 2, 3 and 4 year old government funded EYFS education is provided at the setting for those parents who qualify. Children sing and sign nursery rhymes and songs, story time, bake, draw, paint, puzzles enjoy messy play, games and many more activities.
I care for after-school children. My working hours are from 07h00 - 17h30 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. My hours are flexible. Please call for further information or book an appointment when all policies and certificates can be viewed and all questions or concerns can be discussed.
My Experience
I have cared for my own 2 children plus grandchildren and have many years experience. I have worked at a creche with young babies.
I have child-minded for 18 years and thoroughly enjoy it. I care for children with special educational needs, 2-5 year-olds and school-going children.
