My Summary
Home From Home Childcare That’s Always Out And About
About Me
Hello I’m Miranda and I am an Ofsted registered Childminder with a Good rating in my last inspection. I am a 0-3 year old setting.
I am a happily married, mummy, i have two beautiful older children. I have a cat, called Pepper.
My setting is a home from home environment, i have a safe and completely enclosed back garden that we can use on dry and wet days.
I have a love for being outside, incorporating all areas of the Early Years curriculum into our play, whilst out and about.
I am a member of the Forest Childcare Association, and i have an NVQ childcare qualification.
I do attend various toddler groups, as i feel can help all my little ones learn how to socialise, and develop friendships outside of our little family circle.
But mostly we love going out and about on our own, but we do also go with other childminders to all kinds of places!
We can stay local and go to Haldon forest, Mamhead, Stover to feed the ducks and partake in some pond dipping, Bovey Parke, Canonteign and also Dartmoor to find the ponies.
We also enjoy walking to our local play parks or going through the local fields and forests and playing in the streams.
World of country life is always a favourite to see all the different animals, as is Paignton zoo, Powderham Castle, Pennywell Farm, Escot and we do occasionally go on trips on the local trains and buses to the Beach, they love this adventure, and i have photos of all of these on my page please see link below
We also go a little further afield to the donkey sanctuary, plymouth aquarium, and to various other farms to see their animals.
If it's a wet weather day we put on our wet weather clothing and go muddy puddle jumping, or we can just stay in and bake cakes, biscuits, bread, soups etc or just have fun with messy crafts.
I have my own vehicle and have all the relevant business use insurance, and car seats.
