My Summary

Term Time Only Childminder - Emma's Little Monkeys Childminding

My Experience

Childcare funded support spaces available. please message for details

I offer Home from Home Care. I have my own children and have looked after children of all ages for many families. I know how scary it is leaving your child with someone who you don't know, and I try to make the transition as easy for both the child/ren and parents/carers.

When your child comes to my setting, I like to find out about them as much as I can, such as likes and dislikes, routines that they follow, etc. This helps me to plan for them each week. I follow the EYFS curriculum that is also followed in school until the end of reception.

I am happy to text parents throughout the day for reassurance, and I also welcome any phone calls if needed.

I provide lots of different activities for the children and they never get bored. Here are a few things that we like to do.:-

Visits to local parks, feed the ducks, and go on nature trails. We do lots of crafts such as playdoh, painting, glueing and sticking. Roleplay, small world play, puzzles, board games, singing, reading, mark making, library visits, toddler groups, soft play, garden play. In the garden I have a water table, sandpit, tents and tunnels, a trampoline, bikes, scooters, slides, rockers etc.

I meet up every day with other childminders at toddler groups and soft play, and all the children play fantastically together. They also build up lovely friendships with each other.

I will give lots of information about how your child has spent their day with me (via message). Parents can also send me messages throughout the day. I encourage this as it shows how we are working together.
