My Summary
Ofsted Registered Childminder
About Me
Hi, my name is Sophie and i have been Ofsted registered since March 2015. I worked at a local nursery in Stamford for 2 years before leaving to start my own family in 2013. I started my training to become a childminder in June 2014 and completed this and became registered with ofsted in March 2015. I live in a lovely house in Ryhall with my partner Steven and our 3 children Skylar (10), Indie-mae (7) and Maeve (2).
I have the following qualifications and certificates to name just a few:
*NVQ level 2 in childcare and early years
*NVQ level 3 in childcare and early years
*CACHE Award Understand how to set up a home based childcare service
*Paediatric first aid
*Safeguarding Children
*Supporting children with speech, language and communication needs
*An Introduction to Children Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder
*Raising Developmental Concerns with Parents
I feel that in my setting i create a home from home environment where children learn through having fun. I have vast knowledge of caring for children between the ages of 0-5 years old and can tailor activities for a range of different ages. My house is on a quiet road just on the edge of the village and i have a large back garden which is perfect for outdoor play. I have a fantastic separate playroom with french doors that go straight out into the garden meaning open play is always possible.
I aim to try and provide a curiosity approach to play with lots of open ended activities.
We have an English bulldog called Bella who is 4 years old and you’ll often find her searching for the best spot to have a snooze and sunbathe. I am available to provide wrap around care - before and after school from Ryhall C OF E Academy and Ryhall Childcare Centre and offer school holiday clubs also.
My Experience
I worked at a local nursery from October 2011-October 2013 working with children aged 0-5 years where i completed my NVQ level 2 and level 3. I also have my own 3 children (10yo, 7yo & 2yo)

Sophie is a great childminder. She undertakes lots of activities with the children in her care including arts & crafts.
Her house has a playroom at the back and a large garden for play. There are lots of toys to keep your little ones entertained.
She has been great for getting my little one to eat properly who has always been a fussy eater.
Her 2 girls are very easy going and play well with other children. They are there some of the time as one now attends nursery / at their grandparents, depending upon numbers.
