My Experience

I HAVE A VACANCY FROM 20TH MAY 2025. I OFFER FUNDED HOURS FROM 9 MONTHS (15/30 HOURS)

Please message me for details or to arrange a viewing of the setting.

TERM TIME ONLY CHILDMINDER - NO FEES DURING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

Funding is offered term time only (38 weeks of the year) for 9 months until their 3rd birthday (When your child turns 3 years old, they are usually ready to transition to a nursery setting with children of similar ages where they can claim their funded hours for the following term)

I provide a Home from Home Care service, with years of experience caring for children of all ages, including my own. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your child in someone else’s care, so I focus on making the transition as smooth as possible for both the child and their parents or carers.

When your child joins my setting, I take the time to learn about their likes, dislikes, routines, and more. This helps me create a tailored plan for their needs each week. I follow the EYFS curriculum, which aligns with what schools use up until the end of reception.

To offer reassurance, I’m happy to send parents updates throughout the day via text and welcome phone calls whenever needed.

My setting provides a wide range of engaging activities to keep children entertained and stimulated, such as:
Visits to parks, nature trails, and feeding the ducks.
Creative crafts like playdoh, painting, gluing, and sticking.
Role-play, small world play, puzzles, board games, singing, reading, and mark-making.
Outings to the library, toddler groups, and soft play.
Garden play with water tables, a sandpit, tents, tunnels, trampolines, bikes, scooters, slides, and rockers.

We attend daily outings to toddler groups and soft play, which are an essential part of our program. To maintain these enriching experiences, I ask for a small contribution toward the costs. If you’d prefer not to participate, we can discuss whether my setting is the right fit for your child.

I also meet regularly with other childminders, creating opportunities for the children to form friendships with a larger group through playdates and outings. This helps them build relationships both inside and outside my care.

I prioritize strong communication with parents, sharing detailed updates about your child’s day and encouraging messages from you throughout the day so that we can work together to support your child.
