About Me

My name is Jan Hanson I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I can offer trustworthy childcare in a homely safe environment. I want your child to feel happy and secure and my family will be friendly and welcoming. I live just off Preston Grove, close to Oaklands Primary school. I use my conservatory as a playroom which leads out on to a good sized child friendly garden. We have an area with artificial grass which enables all year round outside play. We have a mud kitchen and messy play area outside and a vegetable and herb garden which the children absolutely love! I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines required by Ofsted and will keep you advised of your child's progress whilst in my care. I have toys,equipment and activities suitable for all ages including babies. I am very much a home from home childminder and spend time playing both inside and out in the garden each day. I regularly visit toddler groups in the local community, get together with other childminders and take trips to parks, local national trust sites and beauty spots. I also have use of an allotment which we frequently take advantage of. I feel it is important to give the children in my care as many opportunities as possible to experience what our local community has to offer .

My Experience

I have been childminding for 9 years now and was graded as 'GOOD' on my recent Ofsted inspection. I decided to become a childminder as I wanted a fulfilling job which I could do from home after having my youngest child. I have been a stay at home mum ever since which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have an artistic background with a degree in 3D design and I really enjoy art and craft and creating all sorts of things with the children. I have 4 children of my own ranging in age from 13 to 27.

My Qualifications

I have completed all the courses required by Ofsted including Paediatric First Aid, Childminding, and Child Protection. I am also DBS checked.

My Availability

I will have a space on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from September.

A recent inspection found that children feel safe and happy in this childcare setting, quickly settling into engaging play activities. The environment focuses on communication, language skills, and confidence-building. Outdoor learning experiences and partnerships with parents are notable strengths. Support is provided for children with special needs, working closely with external agencies. Managing stimulation levels for younger children during certain activities was identified as an area for improvement.

Jan is fab

5 stars

Jan provides a very welcoming, homely atmosphere. My 2 year old loves going there and often used to cry when it was time to leave!! She provides a variety of activities and they are all fun yet educational.. her communication with parents is excellent.. Our daughter looks forward to going there so that's the best recommendation for me!!
