About Me

I have a 4 bedroom detached property which is situated in quiet cul-de-sac. I share my house with my husband and our 2 children 22yrs and 19yrs. We have 2 Cavapoo Dog's as well. The whole house is used for minding, with the main care taking place on the ground floor which consists of a lounge, the kitchen area, leads of to a large conservatory and dinner area, and out to a large enclosed garden. We also have a downstairs toilet. I have local amenities within walking distance which includes parks, shop, library and schools. I work Monday to Thursday 7.30 am till 5.30 pm. I work with 4 assistants. I have completed my level 3 DHC and I am an accredited child minder, allowing me to take nursery education funding for 9mths 2,3 and 4 year old. Myself and my assistants all have current child protection and first aid certificate. I am the qualified Senco lead in my setting. We all do a lot of the course's on offer through our local Early Years Team, 2 of my assistants are currently doing their Level 3 in Childcare and will register as Childminder's at my setting. We do drop off's and pick ups at Hardwicke School and Field Court school.

The setting has a holistic approach to care and we provide daily activities. We work on a school year curriculum that has term time topics and we also cover PSHE subjects. We teach early phonics and basic maths. We have a lending library for the children which encourages the children to take a book home to share with their families. We do outings to various places such as the local library or church and we take the children on nature walks or to local parks. The children have a large outdoor area to explore and we have a small planting area. We also cook regularly in the kitchen and have a yearly visit from a dentist and doctor. We have a mentoring program with the children and their key worker so they get to spend one on one time focusing on their individual development.
