My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Louise. I live in Longlevens with my family. I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I was awarded a 'GOOD' rating in my latest Ofsted inspection in July 2024.
I care for children in a fun, caring and stimulating home from home environment. I am very patient; supportive and love encouraging children to explore and develop. I offer your child a very flexible combination of care, learning and play in my home and garden. I take children on regular planned outings in the local community. All areas of learning and development will be delivered through a fun filled curriculum and enabling environment with a range of adult guided and child-initiated activities designed to follow children’s interests.
My home benefits from an open plan living area with the playroom at the heart. This provides a homely family environment for your child to enjoy. I have a secure separate bedroom for babies/young children to sleep if required.
The children are involved in regular sensory exploration, messy play, invitations to play set ups, music and movement, story time, games, mark making, maths exploration through play, role play, dressing up, small world, construction and so much more.
We enjoy regular trips into the community such as local toddler stay and play sessions, library, museums, parks, local woodlands, farms and WWT Slimbridge centre.
I have a large secure garden with a range of outdoor play equipment for the children to explore. such as swings; nature kitchen; sand and water tables; outdoor easel; ride on toys; sports equipment; outside construction and loose parts.
Please feel free to contact me and arrange to come and visit.
