My Summary
'A Fun Place To Learn Through Play'
About Me
Hello,
My name is Deborah and I live in the Borough of Croydon close to the border with West Norwood.
My setting is small but well-resourced and has a warm and inviting atmosphere aimed at igniting curiosity in children to motivate an interest to learn.
I am very passionate about providing various opportunities that will promote your child's learning and development all in readiness for the next stage of their learning at school.
This is best achieved through a combination of child-led, guided and planned play activities both indoors and outside the setting. All of these activities will be supported by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) areas of learning.
At Little Hive, the importance of building good relationships and keeping in touch with parents/carers is fully appreciated. Therefore, I consider the need to provide timely updates on your child’s progress a priority.
In order to ensure that the care I provide is maintained at a high standard, I keep my knowledge and skills updated. This is achieved through personal study and attendance at approved training events.
I also regularly network with other Childcare providers in my local area.
With prior arrangement, I am available for babysitting on the occasional Saturday and I also offer free one hour childcare for one routine Smear Test appointment.
My Experience
I have prior experience working with children including new-borns and with families in various healthcare roles and I have previously provided foster care for children in my home.
