My Summary
About Me
Thank you for viewing my profile, here you will find upto date information on the service I provide
About myself
I'm Lorraine a Ofsted Registered Childminder with a GOOD Ofsted rating, recently graded last year 2024.
I have been running Raven's Nest since 2013, and I work with Early Years children from Newborn upwards.
I'm a parent myself to two young adults. I live in the village of Highfields Caldecote and have been here for over 20 years. We have a friendly dog and cat and also 2 rabbits.
Being a Childminder I am able to offer children a homely environment where they can feel happy, confident, and safe as they would in their own home.
I can provide Snacks and generally a hot meal at lunch times.
I offer a range of activities for children which, (for example include)
Gardening
Trips to the park & out locally
Cooking
Arts and Crafts
Reading
Singing
Dancing and many more...
I tailor our activities to the children's interests as I find this supports their learning and development of each child.
I keep my training upto date such as
Basic Food & Hygiene
Safeguarding Children
First Aid
I also attend lots of other Childcare training and certificates can be viewed.
I have run Raven's Nest for 11 years.
I can provide references on request.
Please message if you would like more information.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
Snippets from a recent reference reads.
Lorraine is a great communicator and has no trouble gaining my childs confidence and therefore encouraging good behavior and kindness and compassion to others.
All in all i am throughly happy with the level of care my child recieves i am certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him to develop into a confident and self assured little boy. Lorraine has helped provide a great start in life.
