My Summary
About Me
I am an ofsted-registered childminder based in the centre of Kirkby Stephen and work with my husband, Jay looking after six 0-4 year old children per day. It is a family-like situation but with lots of children to play and do activities with. Before and afetr school we have up to 12 children, which is great fun and a laid back atmosphere so the school children can relax after school.
We have a large house with a play room and a soft play room as well as a large grassed garden with mud kitchen, water trays, sand pit and garden toys such as bikes and balls. We are in a great location to go countryside walks, look at farm animals and visit the soft play area.
My Experience
6 years experience minding children aged between 6 months and 8 years.
I have also run English language camps for children in Austria and am a PGCE trained secondary language teacher with 10 years of teaching experience. This means I can support your child with language acquisition (English or foreign language)
At home we have plenty more experience of caring for our own children over the past 21 years.
References and a folder of details of the fun, varied and learning-rich activities I have done with children are available for viewing by prospective parents.
