My Summary
About Me
I currently have 1 space for an under 2. We cover Gordon plus Royal Eltham Pre-School although we have no spaces left for this age range
I am a mother of 5 children 2 are in their 20s, 1 is at primary school and 2 at secondary school. Having previously used a childminder for my older two children, I understand the needs and concerns of a parent/carer. We will provide a safe and friendly environment for your child to grow and develop, with interesting activities both indoor and outdoor, also a variety of games and toys for children to play with. We organise trips for the school holidays. We provide all meals, nappies, wipes etc. Communication is the key to a happy childminded child.
To help support my childminding service I attend various events and meetings to update my knowledge along with various training courses attended over the years, I speak basic French and German. We have a number of pets, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 guinea pigs, 4 chickens & tropical fish. The dogs are trained and respond to commands from the adults and children that they know, one of the reasons for getting the dogs was because some of the children had fears so they have seen the dogs grow from a puppy and now have lost those fears; the other animals are also child friendly.
My Experience
I have been childminding since 2007 and have experience in working with children diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, children with speech & communication problems, children with partial hearing, global delays, visual problems and various eating issues. We use Makaton with some of the children and have had a variety of special needs training.
I also have experience of working with parents and their various medical conditions and needs.
My Qualifications
Introduction to childcare practice, Basic Sign language, Paediatric first aid, basic food hygiene, using observation to support children with special educational needs, these are just a few of the courses I have attended. I have a folder full of certificates you can look at. Plus the child have taught me so much as each child is different.
My Availability
We have availability from September 2024 for a pre school child or a baby. My opening times are Monday - Friday 7.30am - 6pm we are open 47 weeks a year. I offer all year round or term time only contracts. I try to be flexible around your needs.
