My Summary
About Me
Welcome to Kookie’s Adventure!
My name is Mariya and I live with my husband, and our 2 lovely boys, aged 5 and 8. Our kids attend Silver End academy, which is around 10 minutes walk from our house.
We live in a New Built house, with a big garden that has a big Pirate Ship climbing frame, with a slide, swings, a bridge, a table with a bench and a space for sand play.
We will have so much fun in the garden with scooters, cars, bikes, obstacles, water play, running, reading books, playing games, and of course doing gardening, such as planting fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
Inside the house, there is a Play Room, which has a book shelf with varieties of books, play kitchen where children will use their imagination to cook some delicious meals. They will use the counter to pay for their orders, and the shopping baskets and trolleys to put their food in it.
There is also an open shelf with small world toys such as cars, dinosaurs, wild and farm animals. There are also building blocks, dolls hairdressing, doctor’s kit, number/shape/alphabet puzzles and dressing up clothes. There are baby dolls in a buggy too.
The children will have the opportunity to do mark making, and to practise their letter and number formation. We will also have different topics every week and a book of the week. We will sing lots of nursery rhymes and many counting and alphabet songs. We will also do wake and shake in the morning and some Yoga in the afternoon.
In the kitchen, we will be doing lots of Arts and Crafts activities and of course some messy play. We will also make a play dough, and do some cooking and baking activities!
We will go on a trip to the library and meet with other Childminders in the village for Stay and Play sessions.
My Experience
I’ve been working with children for the past 21 years. I started as a Nanny and a Babysitter, and then as a Play Worker, Crèche Worker, and a Midday Meal Supervisor.
I gained my Level 3 Certificate in Early Years in 2007 and I started working as a Nursery Nurse in Private Nurseries, and in Primary schools with children from the age of 6 months old up to 5 years old. I also used to work as a Teaching Assistant in Primary schools from Reception up to Year 6.
For the past year, I’ve been working as a Senior Early Years Practitioner and a Nursery Leader.
I have been a Key Worker, and used various of platforms such as Tapestry, where I recorded children’s observations.
I follow EYFS development matters as a guidance.
I will use special books to keep children’s lovely work and progress as a special memory.
I follow Safeguarding,Health and Safety, and many other policies.
I love seeing how children grow, how they learn through play and how they make progress in their Social, Emotional, Physical, and Communication Development.
I am very easy going, kind, friendly, organised ,and hard working professional. The children will come to a friendly, welcoming, happy, calm, safe and stimulating environment!
