Tania Ramos

Childminder

I provide a friendly childminding service from my family home, a safe setting where children can learn through play. I am an experienced mother of three children and can offer an opportunity for children to form stable relationships with a caring adult and other children. I believe that children gain self confidence and the ability to express themselves through new creative experiences. I encourage creativity through a wide range of enjoyable and fun activities that are age and stage appropriate including drawing, painting, messy play, singing/dancing, sharing stories, crafting, cooking and baking. I have plenty of picture and reading books and a varied selection of toys. I have a garden with playhouse and a number of ride on toys. I also like to take the children on walking trips which include feeding the ducks, visiting local toddler groups and the swing park. I support breastfeeding and I am happy to store breast milk if required. I am happy to use either disposable or cloth nappies. I am Ofsted registered and hold current qualifications in home based childcare, first aid, food hygiene and safeguarding. I am a member of PACEY. I have policies and procedures set in place to protect the health and well-being of children in my care. I have personal experience of delayed speech development in children and the techniques and exercises employed to improve speech skills. I promote equal opportunities within my setting and embrace cultural diversity. I believe by learning to celebrate our differences children can understand that all children should feel special and confident. I aim to promote this through positive recognition and praise. I provide a home from home, we have a dachshund girl called Pipkin. I always keep Pipkin in the kitchen and never leave her alone with children. Pipkin is very friendly.
