My Summary

My Experience

I was graded GOOD in all areas by Ofsted at my inspection in January 2019.

I am a member of PACEY the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years and am a member of the Quality Assured Peterborough Childminding Network through which I became an Accredited childminder so that I am able to accept the funding for 2, 3 and 4 year olds within my setting.

I have some experience of SEN.

I believe that it is important to look at each and every child's needs individually so that the care and education I provide suits the needs of that child. My setting is very much one that is led by the children so that I can provide them with experiences that will interest them and further their development. We spend a proportion of each day out and about whether that be in the garden or taking in the scenery in Hampton and Peterborough.

My Qualifications

I have completed my ICP, Paediatric first aid, and food hygiene for childminding. I have also completed the Quality Assurance so that I could be come a member of the Peterborough Childminding Network and in April 2009 I became an Accredited Childminder able to provide funded care for 2, 3 and 4 year olds.

As a Peterborough childminder I also get access to lots of training provided by the Early Years Team at PCC.
*Safeguarding Children – An introduction to Child Protection Training for Early Years & Child Care Practitioners
*Birth to Three Matters
*Documentation – Recording, Reporting & Complaints
*Keeping Children Healthy & Safe
*Personal Development for Childminders
*Meeting the Requirements of EYFS and the Ofsted Process
*EYFS Workshops
*Creating an Environment that Encourages Positive Behaviour
*Jabadao – Developmental Movement Play
*Observation with a Purpose Birth to Five
*Knowledge and Understanding of the World
*Heuristic Play
*Understanding Cultural Aspects of the EYFS
*Fun & Games from around the World
*Making the Most of Outdoor Play
*Forest Awareness Day
*Vulnerable Children
are just some of the courses I have attended.

In July 2011 I completed the Certificate In Childcare Practice which is a level 4 qualification with The Open University. I undertook this qualification as I feel it is important to continually develop my education so that I can ensure that I am able to provide the best level of care and education for your child.
