My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered Childminder, living in the village of Wilstead just south of Bedford. I live with my husband (who is also my registered assistant) and 17 year old daughter in a lovely welcoming child friendly house, with a fully enclosed garden.
I follow the guidelines for the Early Years Foundation Stage, providing the children in my care with a wide variety of activities and outings.
For example lots of arts and crafts, cooking, gardening, messy play, dressing up, role play and outdoor play. I have a variety of toys, games, books, puzzles etc for all ages. We go on outings to the local groups, toddler groups, Melody Makers, parks, the library, farms and play centres.
I can drop off and pick up from Wilstead Preschool and Primary School.
