My Summary
About Me
Hello I'm Dee and I'm an Ofsted Registered Childminder living in East Molesey. I have a 2 year old son and had a son with Muscular Dystrophy & Cleft Palate, who sadly passed away January 2014 aged 4 1/2.
Due to this I have a wide knowledge of special needs and developmental delay and am happy to welcome special needs children into my home.
I have a lovely large garden with lots of room for running around and playing.
I aim to provide a loving, stimulating setting in my home for all children and have a wide selection of toys and resources for all ages.
We enjoy lots of free play and organised adult led activities including baking, painting, drawing, gardening and sand play.
Coming from New Zealand I have a real love of the outdoors and love spending time with children in various parks, river walks, National Trust Gardens, animal farms and playing Pooh Sticks.
I follow the EYFS for development and provide a daily diary for children so you can follow what happens in your child's day whilst in my care.
My Experience
After working in finance for 16 years I left to have my first son and spent the next 5 years caring for him and all his needs as a physically disabled child. Raising and losing my son made me very aware of the gift and importance of childhood which led to me choosing to become a childminder.
My Qualifications
Ofsted Registered
ICP Introduction to Childminding
Paediatric First Aid Course
Enhanced DBS certificate
Full Clean Driving License
Fully Insured through Morton Michel (Public Liability)
My Availability
I currently pick up from Thames Ditton Infants and Thames Ditton Junior School so am unable to do pick up from any others schools at this time.
I also drop children home in the evenings for parents as I believe it is more environmentally friendly one car for all the children than various cars doing pick ups.
After working in the city I also realise parents have generally had a long commute and the last thing they want to do is get home to get in a car.
