My Summary
About Me
SAM’S CHILDMINDING SERVICES-BROMHAM, BEDFORD

My home is centered around providing a safe and engaging environment for children to play and learn in. I have a large enclosed garden to provide a private area for children to explore nature and develop their physical skills.
I allow the children in my care to choose their own interests and to develop by exploring the different ways in which toys can be used; I then use these interests to plan and organise activities and trips to expand their development using an enjoyed stimulus.
I follow the guidelines set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage in order to ensure the children in my care are being stimulated, supported and encouraged in the correct way.
