My Summary

Ofsted Outstanding Childminder

My Experience

I have 16 years experience of working with children.
I began my career as a nursery assistant in a nursery where I was then promoted to Deputy Manager.
Following that I became a Teaching Assistant at a Special Educational Needs and Disability School for 5 years.
I then progressed my career at a specialist academy in Warwickshire for children and young people with an autism spectrum condition or an identified social, emotional or mental health need aged 9 – 19 years.
I really have enjoyed each of my jobs and found each both rewarding and valuable to be the professional I am today.
The reason I have chosen to become a childminder is because I now have two of my own children and I really miss working and supporting children in the Early Years.
I am committed to providing a safe, caring and engaging environment which ensures that all children I care for are able to access high quality learning opportunities that cater for their individual needs and interests.
