Currently looking after a lovely little girl age 3 and a half, she has been with me since she was one, and my daughters are like her sister's.

Your child is more than just a number here in my setting, they are treated like family and I do one to one learning with them.

I keep you up to date with what your child has eaten and done through Whatsapp, and send you lot's of photo's of their day, it will feel like you were there with them.

The children here become good friends with each other, and also bond with my own children, who look after them.

I am a Mum to two lovely girls both in school, and I have worked in childcare since leaving college where I studied childcare.

I have lots of child care experience with different ages, lots of resources inside and in my garden, and I take children out to various places. I support British Values and cover the EYFS.

I give children in my care wonderful experiences, they progress in their learning and development with me as their key worker.
I am fully qualified, DBS checked, driver with my own car, and a First aider with Safeguarding knowledge.

I know it is scary trusting someone with the most precious thing in your life, there is lots of love and cuddles to go around in my home!
I am calm, friendly, kind, caring, patient, flexible, reliable, trustworthy, outgoing and organized, and I have always wanted to look after children since I left school, this has made me in to the brilliant childminder that parents choose for their children today!

I often babysit past children I used to look after, they are always happy to see me!

I have a lot of educational resources and fun toys, books, puzzles, building blocks, ride on toys, push a long prams/toys, and lots to do in my garden-in my garden I have a play house, pop up tent, tunnel, ride in car, slides, rocking bike, sand pit and water shell to sit in in the warmer weather, water tray, and an easel for lot's of fun painting and chalking.

We do a daily calendar looking at the day's of the week, season's, weather, date, number's and the alphabet.
We do a song box, play dough, messy play, and sensory play, we learn colour's and shape's too.
We learn about healthy eating and brushing our teeth.

I have outstanding references from past families I have provided care for, and who I do babysitting for, please read my reviews.

I aim to provide high quality child care focusing on the seven area's of learning and preparing children for school, while helping them gain life skills.
I provide snacks and healthy meals- these come with fruit, yogurt and water to drink.

I take the children out to local children's centres, toddler groups, music groups, sand pit, museum, park's, to feed the duck's, farm's, and soft play.

I have a smaller environment than a nursery with less children for your little one where they get to go out and about in the day, and make great friendships-great for socializing with other children and adults.
When we walk to school and back we sing songs, do I spy, look at squirrels, leave's falling, count car's, talk about colour's, big bus, little bus, and little one's get a chance to walk not just sat in the pram.

I make up a learning journal you keep when your child leaves my setting of their time with me.
Open 8am-5pm Monday to Thursday.
I am flexible on my time's.

I had my Ofsted inspection when I was on maternity leave with only my own child with me not minded children therefore I could only get a Met or Not Met, I got a Met!

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I can email you a welcome pack before you meet me and view my setting.
I look forward to hearing from you, Caroline.
