My Summary
About Me
I am a mum of two young children myself and have lots of experience looking after young children, I am a passionate caregiver and attentive to children's needs. I believe that learning through play is a fundamental part of early years education. My setting is open planned with lots of space to move and play. We have a nice sized, secure garden for outside play that has a play house with kitchen area, ride on toys, sand tables and water wall and a trampoline for older children. We will be doing planting/gardening activities and often get squirrels visit the garden. I love being outdoors and will be actively encouraging nature school activities at our local country park as well as attending various baby and toddler groups. I provide healthy snacks and fresh drinking water daily to the children in my care and promote self care and personal hygiene skills in my setting to boost children's independence. I give regular updates to parents on settling in and learning journals via a child-minding app so guardians can see what the children do throughout there time with me. I accept funded placements.
My Experience
I am a mum of two fully grown children who have now flown the nest and to two young children still at home. I have experience of children with SEND needs. I have worked in various soft play settings and as a children's entertainer in my younger years. I worked as a support worker for families in the social housing sector for 4 years. My previous business was centred around creating children's wear. I have a range of experience with crafts through that business and will be promoting expressive arts and craft activities in my setting. In previous work in hospitality I have gained extensive knowledge in COSHH, food hygiene and allergen training.
