My Summary
About Me
My name is Lucy and i have been a professional child minder since January 2014 gaining various qualifications and have 3 members of staff.
Home and Family
I have two sons Jacob and Jack, and a daughter Katie. I have lived in Stroud since I was a young child and know the area very well. I love where I stay and feel lucky to be able to bring up my own children in such a lovely area of Kings Stanley. Jacob is in secondary school at Maiden Hill and Jack & Katie are in Leonard Stanley Primary school.
My Experience
As a busy mother of three, I am well aware of the demands and responsibilities involved in caring for children. I have no doubt that the experiences that I have had already with bringing up my own children help me in my role as a child-minder. There is quite a big age difference between my eldest and youngest children so i understand how challenging it can be to care for children with varying abilities, needs and interests.
As part of my pre-registration training I successfully completed a twelve week induction course in child-minding ran by the local Early Years Team and approved by Ofsted. The course covered a wide range of subjects including child protection, health and safety, child development and behaviour management.
I have gained various certificates and qualifications including a pass at cache level 3 understanding how to set up a home based childcare service, first aid for child carers, top tips for talking key principles session, safeguarding/child protection, safeguarding adults at risk, fire awareness and fire extinguisher course, food hygiene, moving and handling, health and safety. I will also be making full use of the training workshops provided by the Early Years Team and by the local college as they become available covering a variety of areas from child development and special needs to play experiences and nutrition and hygiene in the near future. I believe it is vitally important to continue to further my training and refresh my skills in order for me to provide a good quality childcare service.
In addition to the above I believe that the following experience & skills will also assist me in providing a successful child-minding service:
· I have the experience of being a mother of 3 children who have been cared for by a child-minder, nursery and after school care. I am therefore able to identify areas where that particular service has been successful and try to do the same, as well as learn from areas where I feel improvements could have been made.
· I have a very creative background. I will utilise my artistic talents and ideas when doing art and craftwork with children.
· I am a fit and active individual with plenty of energy to provide children with a stimulating environment with a wide variety of fun and educational activities.
· I regularly attend playgroups where I have the opportunity to speak with other child-minders and listen to their experiences and advice.
