My Summary
About Me
I am a 46 year old mother of two, living in a quiet area between Edgware, Burnt Oak and Queensbury and am close to local parks. I am registered with OFSTED as a childminder and have recently been graded outstanding for the second time. I also have 12 years experience working as a teacher in the Infants. I hold current DBS and paediatric first aid certificates and a clean driving licence. I feel privileged to work with children in the early years and have a patient and nurturing style of childcare. I have excellent knowledge of current foundation stage requirements and can provide activities supportive of individual developmental needs. I am passionate about caring for children in my own home where a large range of toys and activities have been prepared. As well as educational activities, I provide opportunities for children to develop their confidence and independence.
My Experience
I qualified as a primary school teacher in 2004 and have worked as an infant school teacher for 12 years. I am trained in the early years and have effectively delivered activities relating to current requirements. Other previous qualifications include an HND and Degree in Early Childhood Studies. I am involved in the daily preparation of activities for children with a wide range of needs including English as an additional language and those with additional learning needs. I am dedicated to providing an environment based on equality.
