My Summary
About Me
Fully qualified, insured and trained. Here at Bumblebees Home Nursery, we offer warm, fun and friendly home-based childcare for children of all ages, from young babies and pre-school children upto mid teens. Our home is in Pendeen, within walking distance of local amenities such as Geevor Tin Mine, Portherras Beach and Pendeen Park. We have a lovely big garden, and a home designed particularly with children in mind, equipped with plenty of resources and toys for all ages. If you’d like, we can arrange a pre-registration visit for you to come and have a look for yourself!
My name is Mia, I’m the main childminder at Bumblebees Home Nursery, and I am a fully qualified EYFS practitioner. I have lived in Pendeen for over 22 years now. I live and work with my husband, Bradley, who has an equal passion for looking after children and also holds the required training and DBS checks to work with children. I have wanted to run a childcare business of my own ever since I can remember. Bumblebees Home Nursery is all about providing quality, fun learning and a safe place where children can discover the world around them, develop and create relationships within a small group of other similar-aged children! We put our absolute everything into making sure our nursery is one that children look forward to arriving at each morning…
My Experience
Since I was a young child, I’ve always dreamt of becoming a primary school teacher or nursery worker. My experience in caring for young children began when I was young, as I have grown up with 2 younger siblings who I have always been very close with… Recently, I have been working within the care industry with a variety of different aged individuals, ranging from school-aged SEND pupils to elderly clients with advanced dementia. After almost 4 years of travelling to and from Kenya, where I’d frequently volunteer in a slum school, we both finally decided to settle down in Pendeen and build on Bumblebees Home Nursery. We’re extremely passionate about making a difference to young children’s lives and will always encourage the children in our setting to develop their own learning, at their own pace. Along the way, we’ll ensure that all parents are kept up to date on their child’s progress and what they get upto with us!
My Qualifications
I achieved Level 4 Primary Education and Early Years at Bath Spa University in 2022, meaning I am a fully qualified EYFS practitioner. Prior to this, I went to college and studied AS levels (A, A, A, B), followed by a National Diploma (Distinction). And prior to that, I achieved 4 A*s (including child development), 3 As and 3 Bs at GCSE level.
I’m fully trained in Paediatric First Aid, and Safeguarding. I also have a variety of different CPD training certificates, and am currently continuing my training in areas specifically surrounding children with autism and adhd, healthy eating for children and weaning.
My Availability
In regards to childminding, we are open between the hours of 7:30am and 7pm, every day of the week. All babysitting and other out-of-hours requests are dealt with on a first-come-first-serve, individual basis, so any enquiries please just get in contact with me!
We are open on bank holidays and throughout most of the summer holidays. I also offer Event Childcare for weddings and other occasions, as well as Holiday Childcare for visitors to Cornwall. Feel free to message me anytime to find out more information or ask any questions.
