My Summary

My Experience

Over 30 years experience providing a homely stimulating environment for children aged 3months-5years offering individual attention and meeting children's specific needs. I provide healthy home cooked food from breakfast through to tea. I regularly adapt to the changing needs of individual babies sleeping and feeding patterns and children's personal preferences. I aim to offer flexible consistent childcare accommodating parents preferences in a friendly family setting.
I patiently encourage and nurture children in all learning,working with their family to help their child reach their full potential. I have often cared for children through to their teens serving many local schools.
I share with parents their child's learning and development on my secure childcare management system which records special personal milestones and photographs of their child's progress, in accordance with Early Learning Goals.
We all regularly go on fabulous outings to adventure places for example Living Rainforest, Blue reef Aquarium,Farm Parks, Marwell Wildlife Zoological Park, Hilliers Arboretum, Milestones Museum and take part in the local community at Toddler groups, music class,museums, library, play parks,ball pools, countryside walks, local events etc
