My Summary
About Me
My name is Anna matthews , I live in Botley with my husband and 2 daughters 15 & 12 We have a small dog who is lovely and friendly and great around the children. I'm an ofsted registered childminder with 25 years of childcare experience including working and managing in a nursery and a previously private Nanning for families with who I travelled with. I find it extremely rewarding working with children of all ages helping and watching them progress and develop, I provide a homely ,fun and learning environment . We absolutely believe in 'learning through play' is the most important way for children to learn. We have such fun! we have lots of fun days out and trips aswell and indoor activities . We love to go to the zoo and groups / country parks and music groups including rhyme time at the library with friends and we love manor farm and woodland walks. We love most to be outside exploring. I have very very good references available to see and rated GOOD from ofsted. Many thanks Anna X
My Experience
I trained whilst working in a daycare nursery and gained my NVQ level 2 and level 3 in Childcare and Education whilst gaining experience with children and providing activities for them to learn through play . I worked in nurseries for 5 years before becoming a private nanny working with private families with various ages and travelled to france with them. I have experience with newborns upwards to school age. I have experience of planning indoor and outdoor activities making the day fun and stimulating for all ages! Lots of mark making opportunities! We love Natural resources and loose parts. I love what I do. Everyday is different and we make it so much fun . Xxx
