My Summary

My Experience

Prior to becoming a registered childminder in July 2015, I worked as a Senior Teacher and Leader in a Wolverhampton Primary School for over 14 years. I have taught children, of all abilities, in each year group from Nursery to when they leave primary school in Year 6. My specialism is in Special Educational Needs, having been SEN co-ordinator at the same school for nearly nine years. As part of this role I was awarded the National Certificate for SEN co-ordination by the University of Birmingham.

My Qualifications

In addition to my teaching qualifications (BA QTS and Post Graduate Certificate in Special Education Needs co-ordination), I have also attended the Local Authority childminding training sessions which include Safeguarding, Business and EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) from birth to five. I have a valid Paediatric First Aid certificate and both my husband and myself have the enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks (previously Criminal Records Bureau).

I also have a Level 2 Food Safety qualification.

My Availability

I currently do not have any vacancies for the foreseeable future and have a waiting list for future places. I do however also offer ‘zero hour’ contracts for occasional care.

My Fees

• Childminding from £5.00 per hour

I charge by the hour, Monday to Friday, between the hours of 7.30am and 5.30pm (including school holidays). Anything outside of these hours, is double pay per hour.

I offer a 10% discount for the oldest sibling on the standard hourly rate.
