My Summary
About Me
My name is Debbie and I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder. I provide high quality and affordable childcare in a caring family environment with a wide range of fun & stimulating toys, books and equipment for all ages.
I believe in working in full cooperation with parents; welcoming ideas and encouraging parents to provide me with comments or watsapp or on handover. I run my setting professionally, attend training opportunities, respect confidentiality and keep organised records in accordance with current guidelines. I provide healthy well-balanced home cooked meals and snacks and encourage children to make healthy food choices.
I have clear policies and procedures and communicate these to parents. I am committed to providing a reliable service that parents can depend on and in which they can place their confidence. I am registered with Ofsted to care for up to a maximum of 6 under eights at any one time. As a Registered Childminder I can provide care for children from birth to twelve years old in a home environment. I am happy to take on any child within my registered numbers and will not discriminate against children or their families for reasons such as race, religion, sex or ability.
I have a clean driving license and am DBS checked with appropriate business insurance to enable me to provide a wide range of activities such as visits to parks toddler groups, the library, and softplays.
I am willing to drop off and pick up to and from Springmead primary and nursery and Hardings Preschool and will consider other settings on request.
My Experience
Prior to childminding, I worked for a Surrey based Charity; Disability Challengers, where I managed several play centres and organised play and leisure opportunities for disabled children. I decided to become a childminder to enable me to spend time as a 'mum at home' with my family and provide quality childcare for other families. I really enjoy spending time with children and play an active part in their development.
