My Experience
i am A fully registered approved and accreddited level 5 and SEND childminder.
I am recognised by North Somerset Council as a specialist SEND childminder and have been through various courses to achieve this status.
We are also recognised as AN APPROVED PORTAGE SETTING, again it meant vigorous training to accomplish this recognition .
I have been on many courses to both improve my setting and also because i enjoy learning these include child first aid, behaviour,safegaurding, advanced safeguarding, i have completed an enhanced course in makaton.Autism awareness course and many many more.
I have also like I mentioned above completed my level 5 in childcare management and development!

My Availability
NO SPACES AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2026 !! SORRY !!
i am available mon to thurs 8-6pm all year round.
The minimum days i will take children is for 2 days as only having a child 1 day a week makes for longer settling in and a week in a childs mind is a long time. PLus it makes it difficult for me to create a bond with the child if he/she only comes 1 day, it also affects what i can do with their development.
