About Me
Childminder
With 7 years of working with a little one's and a 5 yearold active boy of my own it brings me great pleasure to see children develop. As an EYFS practitioner I see each child as a unique individual, after observing their play and development I plan activities just for them to encourage positive progress resulting in a child-centered approach while providing a supportive and caring environment for them to thrive.
I provide each child with an individual learning experience, enabling them to learn at their own pace within an environment that has been designed to nurture and encourage their independence and self-confidence.
