About Me

Hello, my name is Kathy and welcome to c Hokey Cokey childcare. I am an Ofsted registered childminder providing quality home-based childcare for children aged 0-15 in a safe friendly environment based in South Oxhey Watford. I have a full DBS and hold full public liability insurance.
I work very hard to provide children with opportunities to learn and develop, and follow the Early Years Foundation Stage for children from birth to August after their fifth birthday.

My home is light and bright and fully resourced to provide stimulating play for children in a home from home environment. My home has been checked by Ofsted and is safe. I have an enclosed rear garden and am surrounded by parks playing fields and woods giving lots of opportunities for outside play.

My Experience

I have recently returned to childminding after taking time out for the last five years to train and work as an adult nurse. I have over sixteen years experience working with children as well as bringing up my own children Chloe 22, Spencer 18 and Holly 9. To help me in delivering the best care for children I have undertaken an introduction to childminding course, a 12-hour paediatric course, a food and hygiene course and an Early Years Foundation Stage level 3 diploma and level 3 playworker diploma.

Good
18 September 2024
A recent inspection revealed both strengths and areas for improvement in this childcare setting. The environment is welcoming and nurturing, with activities planned around children's interests. Communication development is well-supported, and safety is prioritized. However, the quality of learning opportunities during free play could be enhanced. Additionally, behavior management strategies need improvement to help children understand the impact of their actions on others.
