My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted Registered Outstanding childminder and qualified nursery nurse.
I have spaces available for immediate start for 0-10yrs, full and part time.
My minding hours are Monday to Friday 7:30-6.00pm. I can be flexible for parents who work shift patterns.
I offer a friendly, safe home from home environment with activities such as arts and crafts, cooking, songs and ring games, stories and lots of toys for the children to access freely. I ensure that each individual child's needs are met and their interests are planned for too. We go to regular play groups, to the park, library, soft play, the zoo or just for a walk to experience nature to ensure the children are kept active and are given opportunities to socialise with others, however I also like to make sure the children experience playing in my home as well as this is vital to their wellbeing too.
I have 18yrs experience of looking after children from birth to 15yrs and I have 3 children of my own too.
I currently drop off and pick up from Bramingham Primary School and Little Peoples Nursery.
I am Hard working, trustworthy, reliable and honest and I strive to be the best Childminder I can be.
I became a childminder when I had my first son and decided to put into practice everything I have learnt over the years. As a result I feel we are a happy and sociable little family and welcome all into our home.
I have my own car and hold a full CLEAN DRIVING LISCENCE
My Experience
I have been a qualified nursery nurse for 18yrs and have worked in a variety of childcare settings. I have cared for and planned activities for all ages ranging from babies to 15yr olds.
I ensure that the activities are exciting, stimulating and age appropriate for the children and each child's needs are being met.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum for the under 5s in my care and ensure the activites I provide are from this and will encourage and help the children to grow and thrive.
My experinees have also taught me that each child is an individual and has their own personalities and needs and sometimes challenging behaviour. I strive to give each child I care for the same love and support as i give my own children in order to help them thrive and learn.
I build good professional relationships with the parents of the children in my care as I feel this is vital when caring for other peoples children.
My experiences have given me the tools to be caring, patient and professional, flexible, quick thinking and approachable too.
