My Summary
Trained Primary Teacher Offering A Home From Home Setting.
About Me
As a registered Childminder, it is my intention to provide a ‘home from home’ service where children feel calm, happy and stimulated. I provide high quality childcare within a warm and welcoming environment. I live in a detached house in Lowestoft, close to local amenities. I have a dedicated playroom, somewhere quiet for little ones to sleep and a large enclosed garden, offering free flow outdoor play.
I have public liability insurance and home and car insurance that are suitable for the purpose of childminding. As a registered Childminder, I accept Government funding for 9 months, 2, 3 and 4 year olds.
My Experience
I have worked with children and young people for the last 20 years as either a primary school teacher or family nanny. I am familiar with the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and enjoy the responsibility of planning and preparing a variety of play based activities and experiences relevant to children’s age and stage of development.
My Qualifications
I am a qualified teacher with 18 years experience, mostly working with Early Years children. I have also been a nanny both in America and the UK which has given me experience with new born babies. I hold a clean drivers license, an enhanced DBS, a Food Hygiene certificate, a Paediatric First Aid certificate. As part of my teaching responsibilities, I have attended courses relating to special educational needs, most recently working with children on the autistic spectrum and epilepsy training.
My Availability
My typical day is 8 am to 5 pm but I can be a bit flexible. No EY spaces currently.
