My Summary
About Me
Registered childminder with lots of experience working with children of all ages. I have adult children of my own & I have been registered 21plus years as a childminder.
My husband has joined me this year as my assistant & he is loving the job, he was also inspected along side me aug 2024.
Curriculum
I take starting points from parents when children first join me and after a few weeks, once they’re settled, I do my own assessments.
I do activities which involve the child’s interests & follow their lead to try extend their learning.
I then think about what they know and how I can build on this in line with the eyfs. Definitely using the three main areas of learning but do incorporate all seven areas.
I think about what I want to teach the children and then how I’m going to do it. I use the Intent, implementation & impact to help promote good learning & next steps.
Communication & language is a big focus here, we do rhyme and story time every day, I promote good conversations whilst we’re sat & this is usually followed by an activity. The activities we promote also help with social & emotional skills, also some understanding of the world around us.
We have lots of trips out in the local community - we have a playgroup with other childminders, which is good to mix the children in a bigger group & give them access to a variety of other resources. We also hire out a soft play area once a month with other childminders & the children build friendships with other children outside of the setting. Soft play is a definite a go to for us the children love to climb expanding on their physical development. We go to local parks, farms, the beach, the local sand pit is a firm favourite.
We also visit a care home once a month where we play and do rhyme time,the children love to see the elderly and they look forward to us attending their home.
When it comes to the children leaving me for preschool/school I want them to be confident, independent, use manners and be kind. I want them to be able to feel ready for the next steps in their journeys using all the skills we’ve taught them throughout their time with us.

Cath has been amazing from day 1, I’m lucky I have found someone who not only supports my child but myself as a working mum. My daughter loves going, few tears at first from my daughter however that soon stopped. Cath reasures me and updates on when they have been on little outings with messages and photos. From dropping mylah off to picking her up I know she is good hands, safe and cared for when going to Caths house, I have never felt worried about anything, my daughter seems happy going and happy when being picked up no concerns what so ever and I’m so glad I found and got in with cath. I will continue to use cath for as long as I can and will be forever grateful for her and the care she has provided my daughter.
