My Summary
About Me
My name is Louisa Nutt, I am 40 years old and I live in wells with my fiance and two sons (11 & 6)
If you would like to read my inspection report please message me and I will send this to you. Otherwise this can be found on the Ofsted website.
Before becoming an ofsted registered childminder I worked as a supervisor in a residential home for the elderly, and before this I worked for a family looking after their three children aged from 3 months - 10 years old.
I strongly believe that children learn best through play. I offer the children lots of different activities to cater for their individual age/stage of development. I am very passionate about using the outdoors as a learning environment and carry out many forest school activities. As well as this, I regularly take the children to toddler groups and soft play. I work closely with another childminder who shares my passion for outdoor learning and we take our children on many outdoor adventures, our children have developed lovely friendships and we are available to offer cover for sickness/holidays.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and each child has an online daily diary to ensure that I work in partnership with parents and that parents are aware of their childs day with me.
I live in a three bedroom house with an enclosed back garden which the children have access to daily, equipped with many outdoor toys such as sand and water play.
I offer the children lots of sensory and messy play activities, arts and crafts and cooking alongside freeplay with lots of different resources.
Children in my care enjoyed a relaxed homely environment with lots of opportunity for outdoor play.
Please contact me for further details, an informal chat or to view references.
