The children have the opportunity to play and learn. We go out to toddlers groups, parks and the playground. I have a 7 seater that’s insured and maintained in accordance’s to legislation. I provide home cooked dinners and provide fruit snacks. I can pick up and drop off from local schools.
Children feel safe and secure in my setting, Myself , husband and grown children have got DBS clearance and 1st Aid training in Date. Paul is my assistant and both of us have Safeguarding Lead training, 1st Aid, DBS and EYFS training in date in order to keep the setting current with the requirements and guidelines set by the Govt. Additionally children have my support to develop new skills across all areas of the EYFS. The child`s development is observed and this allows me to facilitate the next steps for individual planning and interests. I value each child equally and help build their strengths and improve their learning development by following the EYFS statutory framework and by working in partnership with the parents and Local Authority. I have a Higher qualification in Childcare and Education and i worked for a well established Nursery recently where i developed further my skills.
I provide fruit snack, breakfast, lunch and a hot meal at additional cost. I cater for children's individual diet requirements. minimum hrs per child is 15hrs per week. I open the setting early at 7:30, and throughout the year. I offer weekend childcare with prior arrangements. I also provide term time only agreements, and I do holiday care, I offer the Free entitlement 30hrs for 1yr olds 2 to 3 year olds, and 15 hour free childcare for 3- 4 year olds provided by the GOVT subject to terms and conditions the provider has to adhere.
My Experience
I have studied Childcare and Education at Kingston University, I have done the childminding course ‘CHIP’ and I studied to level 3 (CACHE) Childcare education. I have a level 6 in Childcare and Education, and I obtained BA Hons in 2014. GCSE in Math and English in 2014. I have experience looking after babies under 1`s , twins and even triplets! In The setting I have children aged from 1 to age 5.
I enjoy working with children, I am passionate about bringing the child forward, seeing them thrive and grow happy and confident.
I believe a childminding setting is more beneficial to the child`s Personal Social Emotional Development, the child will have more one to one in a small setting.
My current/previous parents are happy to provide references, please get in touch by phone for a friendly chat.
