My Summary
About Me
My name is Nicola Bennison. I am a 41 year old mother to two children and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I provide flexible secure childcare within the Isle of Dogs area of Tower Hamlets Borough of London. I am paediatric first aid trained and DBS checked. All adults on my premises will also be DBS checked. I follow the EYFS syllabus and all activities are organised to suit the different age levels and learning styles of the children.
I am a member of PACEY which helps provide information, guidance and support to me when needed.
Statement of Aims and Objectives
Nicola Bennison Childcare Services aims to:
• Provide quality care and education from 6 months – 12 years
• Provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment for children
• Provide childcare that supports the aims and the principles of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework
• Provide a wide range of stimulating, creative and enjoyable experiences and opportunities for development and learning
• Promote your child’s good behaviour through praise, encouragement and guidance
• Encourage and develop language and communication through play, storytelling and other activities
• Encourage children to become independent, happy and confident individuals
• Be a positive role model and promote social skills, encourage courteous behaviour and respect for others
• Develop moral values that promote consideration for individual and cultural differences
• Provide a healthy diet
• Prepare children to meet the challenges of full time education.
As a registered Childminder with Ofsted I will ensure children are kept safe in my care. I will promote good health and wellbeing and the children will be my paramount concern. Every Childs interest, safety and happiness will be vital to everything I do.
My aim is to always promote positive behaviour. Everyone attending my home will be made to feel welcome and treated with equal concern. There are reasonable and appropriate behavioural limits set in my childcare setting to ensure a safe and happy environment. The children will be encouraged to develop social skills which will help them be accepted and welcomed into society as they grow and develop.
As a registered childminder I recognise that it is crucial that I build a trusting partnership between myself and the children’s parents. Working in partnership with parents is a major value and importance to me as this will enable me to provide a happy, caring and stable environment for their children.
I aim to form good relationships with all parents so that the information regarding their children’s wellbeing development and progress can be exchanged easily and comfortably.
I treat all children and their families as individuals and I aim to provide a childcare setting that is inclusive of everyone. Everyone is valued and respected for their different personalities, needs, interests and abilities. I believe that no child, individual or family should be excluded from my childcare setting on the grounds of age, sexuality, class, family status, disability, means, colour, ethnic origin, culture, religion or belief. I will aim to ensure that all who wish to use my childminding service should have an equal chance to do so.

My son goes to Nicola's house two days a week- he is 2.5 years old and always has a great time. Nicola is welcoming and very professional. She has a lovely home, and her own children that my son loves to play with in their private garden (it has amazing artificial grass so they use it all year). Nicola goes to a lot of local play groups in the mornings- every morning- in order to provide my son with a change of scene, opportunities to socialise with other children the same age, and some extended physical exercise. I'm really glad they use the groups as i think it is great for his development. I am confident he is always safe at Nicola's house.
