Nicola Hopkins

Childminder

I have a large purpose built conservatory where the children have lots of room to play, with a wide range of equipment and resources from creative activities to role play and construction. I also have a large outdoor area which has a grass area and a patio area, with large cars, bikes sandpit and Mud kitchen along with other extensive outdoor play equipment. I am a qualified NNEB nursery nurse with 20 years experience in childcare and education and my aim is to bring this into a homely environment where each child will have lots of fun, laughter and security whilst learning. And you as a parent can have peace of mind and assurance that each day your child is in my care they will be safe, secure and loved. Whilst your child is in my care I will be concentrating on the EYFS framework which provides an holistic view to the to the developmental growth of each child. I believe each child is an individual, by giving attention to and building upon their exisiting skills is the starting block providing them to reach their full potential. Latest Ofsted inspection received GOOD.
