My Summary
Woodland Private Day Care
About Me
I am newly Ofsted registered Childminder but have vast experience in Childcare.
I began my Childcare journey leaving school and taking the childcare career path. I have worked in different settings through-out, Nurseries, Nannying, Primary Schools and Forest School.
It was with this in mind and having my own three children that inspired me to become a childminder.
Every child is unique; meaning not one learning style fits all, many settings use a one style fits all approach to learning which doesn't accommodate all children.
With this in mind I have developed my own ethos using my experience and knowledge gained through-out the years.
What sets us apart from other providers is our tailored approach to each individual child - we create strong bonds, observe and use their learning style to enhance their development.
I have a loving family and home from home setting.
My three beautiful daughters are my World and range in age from 6-15, they are very much part of our setting being kind, courteous and aspires our new children. They love been involved as they say ' Mum I understand why you love your job. It's rewarding and you get to be a child all over again!'
When I am not caring for others children (which are like extended family) we love family days - home cooked meals, venture days, exploring and travelling to different countries absorbing other cultures.
My Experience
Over 20 years of Childcare experience in varied settings giving me a broad base knowledge of all aged children. Please see 'About Me' and my 'Qualifications'.
