My Summary
About Me
While we are at this difficult time with coronavirus I am available to care for key worker children. Please call..I have been an Ofsted registered child-minder since February 2007 I have a good grading from Ofsted .I live in Balderton
with my youngest son who is 17 We live in a large semi detached house which is close to local parks and playing fields, and a short distance from local shops and school/preschools. I use the whole ground floor of my home for child-minding. I have a fully enclosed large garden available for outside play which includes a decking area, patio area, large lawns, summer house, small play house, slide and sand pit, and a shed full of outside equipment which caters for all areas of learning. I strongly believe in children learning through play ,I offer and encourage children to take part in a wide range of fun activities (which follow the EYFS) both child initiated and adult led to help learn and develop skills for the future
I want children to feel happy and safe when in my home and I work closely with all parents to help give their child the best start in life.. I provide a happy and safe place for children, where they can learn, grow and have fun. a place where parents know that they can safely leave their children and know that their childs well being is paramount. I offer a 2 hour free session to all parents in order for you and your child/children to feel happy and comfortable with the care that I provide. I have a folder full of policies avaliable with excellent references and parent questionnaires available for viewing. We live in a multiracial society and I treat all children and their families as individuals. I value and respect different religions, cultures and languages. I will not stereotype people according to their race or gender. I will not make distinctions between male and female roles and give all the children in my care the chance to express their individual personalities through various forms of play. I understand that by treating children equally you sometimes have to treat them differently i.e. children with disabilities will need extra help. I will make sure I adhere to any dietary or religious needs. I realise that parents are the best source or information regarding their child and I access that source frequently. Families from all different backgrounds are welcome in my home and I try to ensure that they feel comfortable and accepted lo
