My Summary
About Me
I am a bilingual French and English childminder.
I have just moved near Preston Park station.
We go to a French playgroup most Tuesday. About to try out a Forest School on Thursday.
Spend lots of time outdoors in the mornings either beach or park/woods where we show appreciation to nature, playing with sticks and mud and making nature art, observing and sensing the natural world, and of course jumping in puddles. We also go to the local library, playgrounds and different playgroups; so that the children can experience a wide array of environments and mix with other children.
I provide lunches and snacks.
I give choices to the children so they can decide their outings, snacks and activities.
I provide a stimulating environment with lots of free-play and outings, and homemade organic food.
I use WhatsApp throughout the day so you can see what your child is up to and stay in touch with their children's day. Parents really enjoy this.
I have two daughters and the children in my care love seeing them.
I have a kind, loving, understanding and warm home and, work alongside you, the parents, to make sure of the continuity of care - a home away from home.
My Experience
OFSTED registered.
Over 10 years experience.
I have had children starting as young as 3 months old.
I have a NVQ3 in home-based childcare.
First Aid certificate.
I undertake regular training.
I am with the Family Service Brighton and Hove directory.
My Qualifications

I do keep informed and have an extensive library regarding children development.

I will work with you and your child to know your child and develop them to the fullest. I will provide records of their day/week/month through various mediums such as photos, hard and soft copies, children work, calls, etc - depending on how rush you are in the evening to get home.
