About Me

My name is Elly Parkin and I am an Ofsted registered childminder in the Kenton/Gosforth area of Newcastle.

I offer warm, friendly and flexible childcare in a home-from-home environment.

My Experience

I have been childminding for more than 10 years and in that time I've looked after children from several families, usually from when mum goes back to work until the child goes to nursery or school. I also provide after-school care from local schools.

After completing my degree I spent a year volunteering in two local schools in preparation for my PGCE, gaining further experience of working with school-age children.

During my teaching placements for my PGCE I worked with children from a range of ages (3-11years) and abilities, including children with special educational needs.

I also have Eighteen years experience of working with children outside of school through my role as a Brownie leader.

Fifteen years ago I began perhaps the most important experience of all; caring for my own child and being a (weekend) step-parent to two!

My Qualifications

I have completed a childminder registration course as well as courses in Paediatric First Aid, Food Safety, Equality and Diversity and Safeguarding.

I also have a PGCE in Primary Education and a degree in French and German.

My Availability

My usual working hours are Monday to Friday 7am-6pm. Other hours are negotiable.
I currently have day time spaces for under 5s on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and limited spaces for after school care for children attending Wyndham Primary School or St Cuthberts Primary School. I don't do midday pick ups from playgroup.

Children thrive in a nurturing environment where well-being is prioritized. An ambitious curriculum supports progress across various developmental areas, with an emphasis on health and safety. Communication with parents is good, although more precise information sharing about children's learning is needed. Dedicated to continuous improvement, areas for development include gathering parent feedback and enhancing outdoor spaces. Overall, the provision offers a balanced approach to childcare, fostering happy, healthy learners.
