My Summary
About Me
My name is Danielle and I live in Southsea with my 12 yr old son, husband Steve, and loving cats and tortoise. I aim to provide a very homely setting with plenty of space for children to play, explore, and learn. I plan lots of activities, including welly walks, beach combing, treasure hunts, sand and water play, story sacks, and dressing up/role play. They are all designed to ensure children learn whilst having fun and complying with the Early Years Foundation Stage. We spend a lot of time in the outdoors and go out come rain or shine to parks, woods, farms, or just simple educational visits to the market or library. I have a fully insured vehicle with all car seats and a suitable pushchair for walking. I include all home cooked meals and vary what the children eat to ensure they try plenty of new things. I have full public liab
ility insurance and risk assessments are carried out regularly at home and when out and about. OFSTED rated 'Outstanding' October 2022. I have a foundation degree in Early Years Care, First class BA hons degree in Education, a post graduate diploma in Education and NVQ Level 3 diploma in Childcare in the Workplace which means I can offer 15 or 30 hrs free childcare for 3 yr olds and some eligible 2 yr olds. I have also achieved a Post Graduate diploma in Education with my focus on supporting risky play within early years settings.
My Experience
I have been a childminder for 11 years. I also volunteered at the local children's centre and ran a very successful outdoor playgroup. I was a Sea Cadet Sailing instructor working with children aged from 6-16. This was very rewarding and helped make the decision to become a full-time childcare provider. I am now a leader with the Cubs Scout organisation. These links to other organizations prove invaluable in offering me ideas to use with the minded children
