My Summary
About Me
My name is Vicki and I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Rushden, Northamptonshire. I am 47 years old and live with my husband Richard and our two girls. Richard is a Manager and is also a football coach. Richard fully supports me in my childminding business and has a current DBS certificate. Our girls attend local senior schools. I am committed to providing a fun, friendly and safe environment for the children in my care. I endeavour to provide children with stimulating learning opportunities that reflect their age and stage of development through play and every day experiences. I understand that each child is an individual and treat them with care, empathy and respect.
My Experience
Prior to childminding, I worked for seven years at a Pre-School as a Supervisor providing care for up to 44 children within a setting that provided care for babies to teens. I decided to become a childminder to enable me to spend time with my family and also to provide quality care to a smaller number of children as I often felt whilst working within a setting the number of children did now allow me to undertake valid and stimulating activities to enable me to enhance the children’s development and growth. I therefore chose to become a childminder to offer a fun and stimulating learning environment in my own home.
