About Me
I am a mum to a delightful 6 month old boy (I accept I might be a little biased!), who will be about 11 months old by the time my husband and I require regular extra help in looking after him. I am a teacher in my other life and will be returning to work at the start of July 2025.
As new parents with our families far flung and who never experienced childcare outside of our families growing up, we are a little nervous about how to find the right person to trust with our boy and his additional medical needs.
As our baby gets older we want to encourage independence, curiosity, resilience and patience. We very much value kindness, compassion, humility, generosity and good humour and want to instil these in our son. It is also important to me that my child is shown how to be a lifelong learner and that he has an appreciation for language, music, art and the great outdoors (the latter will need some adjustments, due to his CF).
I am keen to work with someone with good experience that I might also learn from, strong communication and who understands and shares my concerns for my baby’s wellbeing.
My Requirements
Ideally we would be looking for term time only day care, perhaps with an occasional day a week during the holidays. However, we are aware that we are looking for a bit of a unicorn, therefore we would be interested in hearing from anyone who could accommodate any of three possibilities.
1. 30th June- 18th July: 2.5 days per week. The .5 day would be a Friday but at present we can be flexible on the other 2 days.
2. September - July: approximately 22 hours over 4 days, Tuesday- Friday.
Although this is yet to confirmed by my school, we currently anticipate: Tuesday 9.15-4.15, Wednesday& Thursday 9.15-3, Friday 10.30-1.30 (although there may be some weeks where Friday hours are shifted a little.)
3. July & September onwards with an arranged retainer and reduced hours in August.
We need a provider with a strong commitment to learning about particular risks to a child with our son’s medical condition, cystic fibrosis, and a willingness to adapt to his needs. Due to the nature of CF, we will need to be informed early if you or any children in your care have respiratory viruses in case we need to make alternative care arrangements, if necessary. We would also appreciate you being vaccinated against respiratory viruses like COVID and flu.
We are keen to have settling in time for our baby to become accustomed to a new care giver and for us to feel comfortable before I return to work.
