My Summary
About Me
Kate's Little Treasures
I am 43 years old & I have been married since September 2004. Together with my husband, we have 2 beautiful children.
We live in a nice quiet area of Poulton-le-Fylde, with-in easy walking distance to the local shops & parks.
We have a family dog, Nova (who is actually outdoors or in her own outhouse & so is not in the house at all during the working day). We also have two family cats, Arlo & Sully.
My Experience
I am an OFSTED registered Childminder & I have been childminding now for over 16years.
I have cared for a number of children both in the early years & after school care. I have lots of experience with young babies & work closely with parents in all aspects of my care. My youngest child to date that I have been a childminder for was 6 weeks on their start date.
I attend various toddlers groups & play centres each week with the children as well as arranging visits to the zoo, the library, the beach, parks & lots of other places that the children enjoy including a weekly visit to a local music class. I like to arrange day trips out that the children will enjoy & benefit from.
My Qualifications
I have compleated my NVQ Level 3 in Childcare, Learning & development. I have also worked towards getting my level 3 award in Supporting children & young peoples speech, language & communication as well as a CACHE Level 2 certificate in understanding Autism.
I have my Paediatric First Aid certificate & Food Hygiene Level 3, among many others including safeguarding levels 1 & 2 & British Sign Language. I regularly attend training sessions. A copy of all my qualifications can be seen at any time by parents. Parents are regularly updated of any ongoing training.

My little boy goes to Kate every day before and after school and I honestly don't know what we would do with her! She is a fantastic person with a lovely family and my son adores her. She has made my child's first year at school extremely easy and I hope my child enjoys many more years with Kate!
