About Me

I am an Ofsted registered Childminder providing care for under 5's and after school care for over 5's from my local schools Henbury View First School and Lockyers Middle School. I accept government funding hours for 2,3 and 4 year olds. I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage to provide the care, learning and development your child needs to flourish and grow.

My Experience

I registered in 2013 and have children stay with me from babies to middle school. I have two children of my own who are now adults.

My Qualifications

I have the Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification. I also have the level 3 Safeguarding qualification and attend regular updates. I have a Paediatric First Aid Certificate which is renewed every 3 years after attending refresher training. I have recently completed a Level 2 qualification in Understanding Children and Young People's Mental Health. I attend many training sessions to continue my professional development and attend updates with my local authority to ensure my knowledge is up to date.

My Availability

I am open Monday to Friday, Friday just being after school. I am open all year round except for my holidays which I notify for the year in January. I do accept term time only contracts.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
5 June 2023
A recent inspection found that children benefit from a broad curriculum and form strong bonds with their caregivers. The childminder provides a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, including trips to beaches, museums, and nature parks. Good teaching skills and focused activities help children make progress in all areas. Children are happy, settled, and share lots of laughter. One area for improvement is encouraging listening during group activities to further develop communication skills.
