About Me

My name is Jen Gibbs and I live with my husband and our three wonderful daughters aged 16, 14 and 9. We live in a very inviting, open plan house with a spacious playroom, leading to our family friendly garden (with decking, large artificial lawn, mud kitchen, playhouse and wooden climbing frame with swings and slides). We are situated very close to Elmlea Infant and Junior School, The Downs, Canford Park, Stoke Lodge Park, Badocks Woods and Westbury-on-Trym Library.

My Experience

I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder. I love spending time with babies and children; watching them play, learn and grow, through the stimulating activities and experiences that I provide for them. I value each child as an individual and believe that in my 'home from home' nurturing setting, each child in my care can develop their own unique character and personality.
I am also a qualified Primary School teacher with over twenty years of experience working with children aged between 3-11. I have attended a food hygiene course run by Bristol City Council and provide a variety of home cooked, healthy meals and snacks.

My Qualifications

BEd Education Degree
QTS Qualified Teacher Status
Paediatric First Aid
DBS
Various and ongoing CPD Continuous Professional Development Courses

A nurturing environment fosters children's development and independence. The warm and supportive approach helps children settle quickly and feel safe. All children make good progress due to high expectations and a broad, challenging curriculum. Health and physical well-being are effectively promoted, with children learning about healthy eating. Areas for improvement include refining questioning techniques and better engaging quieter children during group activities.
