My Summary
About Me
My name is Charlie I am an honest, bubbly and down to earth person, I live in Fareham with my partner and two sons. I have been a registered childminder for 20 years giving me a wide range of diverse skills to utilise and draw upon when caring for and educating children. We have a pet dog, who is very child friendly.
I have a full DBS as do my family members who have been approved by Ofsted after suitability checks.
I pick up from Harrison Primary School and
Happy faces preschool in Fareham.
I offer EYE grant for 3/4 year olds 15 hours and 30 hours
I also offer the 2year old funded grant both 15hours /30hours
I am Level 3 Qualified in both Children's care learning and development and Play work, I have undertaken appropriate first aid and safeguarding training, I am fully insured. A member of Ofsted.
I have a genuine love for children of all ages and have been fortunate enough to care for many over the years, each and every one has been welcomed into my home and family, I have thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to support each individual child's learning and development, whilst watching them grow and flourish in my care. Children often return to my setting to visit me even when they have moved on to secondary school.
I feel that children benefit from lots of experiences and as such offer a very active setting with lots of exciting resources and opportunities as well as lots of regular play groups and exciting outings such as the historic dock yard, Adventure playgrounds and woodland walks. This is extend throughout school holidays where I take full advantage of no pre-school or school runs and plan whole days out to explore and give children in my care varying experiences.
The setting operates on a free flow basis with a purposefully planned play room designed to give children free access to low level resource allowing for child initiated play and learning, I regularly plan an adult initiated activity for children to engage with if the wish to do so.
I will actively seek to gain the views or your children , their likes, dislikes and interests and hope to be able to cater to individuals needs and preferences.
