My Summary

Little Scholars Childcare

My Experience

I have been childminding for 5 years now. I have just registered directly with Ofsted, prior to this I was registered with a childminding agency.
I work with EYFS children and offer wrap around care Monday - Friday.
My home is the children’s home when they are here. We have a lovely garden and outside space with artificial grass so we can use all year round. Bouncy castle weather permitting in the summer/autumn. We have a room called the snug where we do lots of free play and role play, chill out time. Arts and crafts can be inside or outside. I provide all meals for the children in my care and they are home cooked wherever possible. We go on outings to the forest, soft play and play groups. We have a lovely green area where I live and we go out on this as much as we can to collect items from nature and explore what happens. When choosing Little Scholars for your childcare requirements please note that we do have dogs. Pets play an important part in the children’s lives and all the children love them as much as we do. I have my own children still growing up at home as well. My job is a big part of my life and I thoroughly enjoy it to this end we have extended our family to that of our minded children’s families.
