My Summary

My Experience

I offer a reliable and friendly childcare service in a home environment. My aim is to provide families with high quality child-care that is convenient and flexible, and to provide children with a home from home environment where they feel safe, secure, relaxed and able to enjoy their time with me.

Children have access to a fully equipped playroom with a separate toilet and hand basin. In the play-room the children have access to a TV, PC, computer games, Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation, Nintendo DS and Gameboy (for older children) board games, role play toys, dressing up, Lego, Knex, cars, dolls house and farm house, animals and small world toys, puzzles, dolls and pushchairs etc. Children also have access to our living room, which is mainly used for the quieter activities, such as chilling out, story time, napping, meals, craft activities, homework etc. There is also a kitchen that is used for meal preparation and baking. We also have a small, safe enclosed back garden where children can play in a playhouse, sit and ride bikes and cars, scooter, water and sand table and other outdoor activities.

I provide a happy, safe environment with lots of enthusiasm, support and a variety of age appropriate activities. I plan different activities throughout the week, for example: fun exploring in all the local parks, playgroups, soft play areas, libraries, shopping, Kew gardens etc. In the house we do activities such as crafts, painting, drawing, reading, puzzles, games, free play, role play etc. During school holidays we venture further afield and have days out at the beach, Discovery Centre in Bracknell, theme parks, Ravenscourt Park, farms etc.
