About Me

Hi, my name is Fiona, I am based in Bishopsteignton, Teignmouth. I will be providing a friendly, home from home childcare service. I am married with 3 daughters of my own, aged 14, 10 and 6.
After having my first 2 children I did 2 years voluntary training at a local school in Torquay, whilst studying to become a teaching assistant, then my youngest (surprise) bundle of joy came along and changed my plans, since then I have been working as a childminding assistant for the past 4 years and I have recently decided to go it alone and register as a childminder myself.
I plan to have an active setting where we visit local toddler groups, the beach, parks, zoo's, farms and more, but we will also make time for chilled afternoons at home where we can play games, bake, do craft activities and learn lots as we go! I will be following the EYFS required by ofsted. My setting will be based at my Mums house which has plenty of room, and has a really cosy, homely feel to it, she will be registered as my assistant to help me on my busier days.
I am also a Beaver Scout leader and I have been running the local Beavers group for the past 4 years, Beavers is aimed at children 6-8 years old, I have loved this voluntary role and have learned so much from my time as a Scout leader, recently I have stepped down to become the assistant leader to allow time for my new childminding business, but I still plan to be very much involved with the Scout group.
