My Summary
Home From Home Childminder
About Me
My name is Dan, I have over 4 years childcare experience I am in the process of being Ofsted registered. I set up Stepping Stones Childcare in my own home to give parents the chance to leave their children in warm caring home environment.
We are very much an outdoor setting. We have a fun child friendly garden space to play. We often visit local parks, the seaside, zoo and museums .
I am supported part time by my wife Jess who is registered with Ofsted and fully trained. I have two daughters of my own who are 4 years and 1 years old, which helps me understand the needs of working parents.
Parents can be assured that their children are learning and developing to their full potential while having fun while in my care. I will be supporting your child’s development using the Early Years Foundation stage (EYFS) as recommended by the department for early years education.
I have numerous qualifications which has given me very good knowledge of child development and working with very individual children some with complex needs.
My Experience
Choosing childcare for your child can be a very daunting experience. Maybe you are returning back to work, or feel your child needs to be mixing with other children, or you just need a little break. Leaving the child you have raise and know all about, their little ways, their likes and dislikes etc can have mixed emotions. I fully understand that leaving a child in someone else’s care can be a very difficult experience for some parents. I will work closing with you to ensure your child gets the most from the time they are in my care. I will in addition, make sure I know as much as possible about your child before you leave them in my care. If your child has any disabilities, a medical care plan will also be put in place.
