Mrs T

My Requirements

We are looking for a caring, patient, creative and enthusiastic registered childminder to look after our daughter on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays starting September 2024. If possible also drop off and pick up our 5 year old from Highfield school.

Up to date references, DBS check and first aid training are required. Additional training in child development is also essential.

Household must be non smoking.

Care: make sure that our daughter;
- naps appropriately during the day
- plays or goes outside at least once a day
- is taking part in creative activities such as drawing, crafting, painting, music
- is being read to frequently
- joins in on daily activities such as cooking, washing up and cleaning (as far as possible)
- is learning to care for the environment and learns about recycling and reusing

We see it important that our daughter learns right from wrong and we advocate consistency, encouragement and praise for desirable behaviour rather than focusing on undesirable behaviour. Behaviour should be managed with a calm and gentle tone. Role modelling desirable behaviour is essential. We do not support time out/being sent to another room/area or any physical punishment, restraint or humiliation when dealing with undesirable behaviour. Behaviour management must be positive and age appropriate.

It is important to us that our daughter eats as much organic food as possible, preferably home cooked. We wish for our daughter to have a healthy lifestyle and is therefore not allowed to have any processed sugar or processed food and is only allowed a very limited amount of salt in her food. As for now we are not aware of any food allergies.
