My Summary
About Me
My name is Andrea Vaughan JollyTots Childcare, I began working as a childminder in September 2014. I live with my husband and 3 children; 2 girls and a boy. Our house is on the West side of Dunstable surrounded by beautiful countryside; Dunstable Downs, Green Lanes and Whipsnade Zoo all on our doorstep.
I currently cover Lancot before and after school.
I consider my home warm and inviting. We are fortunate to have a dedicated playroom and a large garden to play in.
The playroom is bright and colourful with toys, books, puzzles, games, arts and crafts, music and television to suit babies, tots and after school ages. Toys are rotated depending on children and age. The wooden play kitchen is a firm favourite. There is Happyland, wooden track and trains, cars, baby dolls, animals, dinosaurs, preschool wooden / ‘plastic fantastic’ toys, musical instruments, construction, learning games... the list is endless.
The garden is fully enclosed. With a playhouse & mud kitchen, ride-ons, paddling pool, water/sand table, pop up play tents and tunnels.
You can be rest assured your child will have a varied day. If we’re not home doing child led and/or planned activities we will be out & about visiting different parks locally and further afield such as Milton Keynes, Ashridge, Rushmere, the Zoo alongside other childminders & children to mix and learn with. My setting is 'a nurturing home from home environment with outdoor adventures'. We watch tv! We give cuddles! We read stories! We play! We bake! We go out & about!... all mixed in with some quiet time. Preparing your child for their early years at school.
