My Summary
About Me
Setting up as a childminder has become my dream for a while and I hope that I will be able to provide a home from home environment and look after your child, as if they were my own. I have decided to call my setting "Katie's Babygarden".
Some brief details to help with your choice:
- fully qualified teacher since 2008. Honors Bachelor Degree in teaching and preschool education;
- mother of two daughters born in 2017 and 2021;
- separate play area for the children in my house;
- big garden to play in;
- a lot of free play, singing, dancing and having fun;
- a lot of adult led activities for the children to develop key areas (individual to each child and their development stage);
- our pets are fish, so no jumping or licking, but fun to look at;
- spoken English, French, Bulgarian and some Russian;
- preferred child age up to 3 years old. I will do my best to get your child to be ready for nursery and I do believe that by the age of 3 they tend to be ready to go to nursery, where they will continue to develop and grow;
- small group (babies and toddlers), so that they can have my full attention;
- plenty of walks, play in the park, playgroups and interactions, to help them adapt to new environments;
In more details
I am a qualified Preschool and Elementary teacher, who has been around children for a while. When I was looking for someone to look after my girls, so I can go back to work, I realised that I would like to be the person who organises their day, full of activities and learning opportunities, reading stories and teaching them to be independent. I have been doing it for the last 6 years and quickly realised that I love working with children on a more personal level and they love spending time with me. And after being asked few times by parents in the park if I can look after their children too, I got inspired to open my doors to more children. I am in the process of registering with Ofsted, after being delayed, the DBS checked, First Aid training, Safeguarding, EYFS training, etc (just to name a few of the most recent ones). While waiting, I am updating the playroom to be even better and more welcoming for the little ones.
If you are looking for someone to look after your child, as their mom-teacher and teach them everything from the everyday life, while singing and playing and having fun, get in touch.
We have a fishtank with fish and no other pets, which children love looking at and feeding in the morning.
I plan my day around Riverbridge school, in Staines, where I drop off and pick up my girls, and enjoy spending time in nature, as much as possible. You can expect trips to various local parks for treasure hunts, nature materials collection and a bit of free play, as well as gardening, playing in the garden, playing and learning outdoors.
I am available during school holidays too, however I have most of my holidays for the year booked in advance, so I can spend some quality time with my family.
My Experience
Fully qualified teacher since 2008, with an Honours Bachelor Degree.
My Qualifications
Fully qualified preschool and elementary teacher Bachelors degree
Masters Degree in Management
My Availability
Pending Ofsted registration.
I am happy to discuss availability and how we can make it work.
I live in a walking distance to Magna carta school and Hythe school in Egham, so it will be very handy for dropping little ones to me, while dropping siblings to school.
I drop off and collect my children from Riverbridge school in Staines, so I can collect and drop off there too.
