The Badger Sett Childminding.

My name is Laura and I am a registered childminder and I am level 3 qualified. I have been registered for 9 years and received a Good in all areas from Ofsted at my last inspection (Aug 2022) I live in Finedon with my Husband and our 3 sons (ages 16, 18 and 20 years).
We have a dog who has grown up around our children, a cat and a range of other small animals.

I believe that children learn best in a safe and warm environment where they can play and explore both indoors and out.

I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage covering all aspects of learning through activities, play and outings.

I have spaces for 2,3 and 4 year old funded sessions available now. I can offer 15 hours for qualifying 2 year olds and ALL 3 and 4 year olds and the additional 15 hours for qualifying 3 and 4 year olds hours. I am happy to split these hours with playgroups or nurseries if needed.
From September I will be able to provide funded spaces for 9 month olds.

I have a large garden with sand and water play and access this in all weather. I am Forest School trained and we regularly visit the local woodlands and parks.

We are a non smoking household.

My Experience

I have been childminding for 9 years, In my recent Ofsted inspection I was awarded Good in all areas (august 2022).
I come from a private nursery background where I was room leader for a 32 space preschool and went on to be Nursery Manager. I have worked with all age groups from birth to 11+. While I was in my previous role my nursery was twice awarded outstanding.

My Qualifications

I have a level 3 diploma in childcare.
I have a full and relevant paediatric first aid certificate.
I am fully trained in safeguarding.
I have also done lots of training courses on all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

My Availability

I am open from 7.30 till 6pm Monday to Friday. (I can be flexible with these times)

I have spaces for all age groups available as I have expanded my business and now have an assistant.

I also have before and after school spaces for both Finedon schools.
