I am a mum to a 10 year old girl and 7 year old girl . I have graduated with a level 6 qualification in child care Ba Hons Early Childhood Studies. I am a former Teaching Assistant in a Special Needs School. Before that I was an Early Years Practitioner in a nursery (Key Worker). I Hold a DBS check and have a certificate in paediatric first aid. I keep all training up to date and regularly complete extra courses in order to enhance my professional development . I also ensure I am up to date in Safeguarding children. These certificates are available upon request along with references.

I absolutely love working with children of all ages and needs. I want to help parents in Sheffield and Rotherham with their childcare needs hence my flexibility and affordable price.

My setting is a clean and tidy home setting. I take great pride in ensuring my setting is welcoming for families and children. When you reach my front door you will be greeted with smiles all round. You will drop your child off at the door and sign your child in. Your child will be welcomed to wash their hands before choosing their breakfast in the kitchen /dining area. Older children are encouraged to serve themselves. The living room is used for role play, small world, construction, sensory play, music and movement, ICT, stories and comfy area. The dining area is used for messy play, creative play, maths,literacy,mark making and problem solving, snacks and meals are served here also. We enjoy baking and cooking a variety of things which the children love to take home to enjoy with their family. My outdoor area is open all day in the summer and at various times throughout the day on cold and wet days. I have a mud kitchen area, sand ,water, bigger play equipment, ball games and sports, a table for maths, mark making, literacy and crafts and planters for children to expand their knowledge in UTW. Upstairs is not used. Nap times are welcome to take place in a pram, on a mat, on the sofa or in a travel cot, which ever is preferred.

When ever we are not in my setting children will be out expanding their development in all areas on days out whether this be indoors or outdoors.

Children will benefit from a wide variety of activities and experiences through play and days out. Older children will be encourage to complete homework and reading tasks with my support. I provide healthy nutritious meals that are fresh and home cooked. Children will also get the chance to help prepare snacks and meals. A fun friendly exciting home environment with a wide variety of resources ranging from popular characters,animals, vehicles and role play to natural and educating.

I take on children from weaning age (about 6 months- 12 years)
I drop off and pick up from Brinsworth Manor School and surrounding nurseries in between school run times.
