My Summary
About Me
My name is Trudie, i am a registered childminder with 13 years experience of all ages.
I have 2 boys ages 10 & 14 we also have a cockerpoo dog called Leia she’s 5 years old (we’ve had her from a puppy)
We visit another childminder Vanessa quite a bit she has 2 children, 2 older Labrador dogs, 3 Guinea Pigs & 3 Rabbits
From September I will be dropping off and collecting from Thistle Hill Academy.
• I work from home and offer your children a safe and friendly environment I have had to adapt my setting due to Covid but we are still open.
• I offer messy play, which includes sand/water play, drawing, painting, cutting, sticking, chalking, play dough, glupe, jelly baff, shaving foam, cooking etc. I do have some aprons but I would ask that the children bring a spare set of clothes.
We go on regular outings to the library, parks, local shops, childminding groups, Gore Farm etc. I do use my car for school runs etc.
• Children have access to the garden, which has a cosy coupe, ride on toys, balls and in the summer use of the paddling pool etc.
• In the school holidays we sometimes go to Mote Park, Leeds Castle, Howletts Zoo, Wildwoods, Swanley Park, Dover Castle, Walmer Castle & lots more.
• I have the current First Aid Certificate, and regularly update it.
• I use Babys Days for the children, which I use to record activities, achievements, sleep, food & drink consumption etc.
