Hi, my name's Vicki.
Previously working for Social Services, I registered as a Childminder in November 2010. I offer a full range of services and flexible hours at a competitive price.
Having 2 girls of my own and 1 Grandson, I understand how important Childcare choices are. It is my aim to provide parents with worry free Childcare in a safe, fun and educational environment. I firmly believe in the importance of routine and will work with parents to establish an individual Childcare plan to fit with the needs of both parents and the child. I will also keep all parents informed of their child's progress on a regular basis with daily photos sent direct.
It is my absolute priority to keep children safe whilst in my care. I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), therefore every day will be planned in advance to maximise learning through play. Most days will involve a small outing and other activities will be spread throughout the week. I am a great fan of the outdoors and will be enjoying outdoor activities with the children as often as possible. Policies and Procedures available by e-mail for all prospective clients.
I offer government funded places for eligible families.
My Experience
Presently I have children from as young as 5 months up to a 8 year old. . All of my children enjoy being in my care and settled really quickly. They thrive on the routine and caring environment I create whilst the parents are content in the knowledge that their child is safe and happy.
My Qualifications
I am Ofsted registered with full CRB disclosure and have my Early years First Aid Certificate. I will be following the Early Years Foundation Stage and will encourage learning through play. Ongoing training is continuous.
