Cool To Care

My Summary

My Experience

I have many years of experience working with children. I have worked with The NCH children in action, and have worked with children who have a variety of needs. I have cared for children with ADHD and autism so I am aware of the importance of specific needs. I keep up to date with training and work in partnership with parents to provide the best possible care for their children. I am in contact with other settings who equally believe in the importance of the holistic development of children and support to parents. I provide a home from home environment and will try to do things with your child that you would do in your home. The children will be encouraged in their development and will be given the opportunity to experience and understand the world around them. we participate in a wide range of activities such as, toddler groups, farms parks, woods, parks, garden centres, and enjoy seasonal activities such as Christmas, visits to winter wonderland is a popular attraction and exciting for the children. I offer a wide range of out and about activities giving all children in my care new experiences of the world around them. I believe its important for all children to get as much fresh air and exercise as possible so as a setting we enjoy being outside, doing things in the environment such as, bug hunting, running, climbing, and generally playing etc. I have experience in working with children where English is an additional language over the years I have been minding I have worked with families from many cultures such as, polish, Lithuanian, Czech, French and Spanish.
