Childminder

have been a registered childminder for 22 years, I am married with three children aged 36, 25 and 23.I have three grandchildren aged 9yrs, 5yrs and 2yrs. I have two Dalmatian dogs that are adorable and loving and  excellent with children. I look after children aged from 1yrs to 14yrs.

I am committed to training, i am qualified with a Level 3 NVQ and other qualifications I have include: First Aid, Safe Guarding Children, Food Safety and Hygiene, Rated 5 with Food Standards Agency, Speech and language, Birth to Three Matters; Values and Attitudes; tiny Talk; Persona Dolls; Asthma and Allergies and Including Everyone and other relevant certificates.

My setting is a fun loving family orientated environment, looking after the individual needs of each child. I provide a good range of activities that are fun, stimulating and educational. Children are allowed access to a computer, Internet access only under supervision. We go to local Baby and Toddler groups, parks, and libraries and visit other childminders and they visit us. In the holidays we go on outings to the beach, indoor play areas and the woods. We try various parks (out of town) and farm visits. At my last Ofsted Inspection I was judged "GOOD", my inspection report is available on request. Please contact me with any questions that you may have.
