About Me

COMPLETLEY FULL UNTIL SEPTEMBER, 2025. PLEASE GET IN CONTACT FOR A POTENTIAL SPACE FOR SEPTEMBER, 2025.
My name is Shelley, I have been Childminding for over five years and I have ten years experience working as a primary school teacher.
I have worked in nursery and reception classes across a number of different primary schools and have a very good understanding of the early years foundation stage.
I have two children of my own who are aged 11 and 9 and we also own a very friendly Labrador named Blue!
Our day will be planned around the needs of the children I am caring for on a particular day.
We will regularly attend local toddler groups, parks, the library, etc.
I also offer plenty of opportunities for child-initiated play in my safe and secure home as well as planned adult-initiated activities. These will include painting, messy play and crafts, small world play, story and rhyme time, cooking, play-dough... the list is endless!

My Experience

I have been working as a primary school teacher for ten years and have successfully transferred my skills of offering a rich, varied and exciting curriculum to my childminding service which I offer in my own home environment.
As mentioned above, I have experience in teaching year groups from nursery up to year 4. Being a mother to two young boys, I have experience in caring for new-born babies and toddlers. I have a range of experience with working with children who have special educational needs such as autism, global development delay, etc.
I am passionate about providing a home from home environment for your child. I care for other children as I do my own, please do get in touch if you would like to discuss anything further.

A recent inspection has found that children receive good-quality care in a nurturing environment. The childminder builds strong bonds with children, offering praise and encouragement to boost confidence. Tailored learning plans and effective progress tracking support individual development. Outdoor play opportunities promote physical skills and spatial awareness. Areas for improvement include managing resources to enhance concentration and allowing more time for children to respond to questions.
