My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder.
I am married, a mother of three and live in Dunstable. My children are 20, 18 and 14.
Nat's House - Childminding Services has a open free flow childminding area. We offer free flowing all-day indoor and outdoor play and we have a 180ft garden with areas for the children to grow tjeir own fruit and vegetables.
We are lucky to have a dedicated assistant, Ashleigh, to support our play, learning and who loves adventures too!
Ashleigh has two children, loves animals, being outdoors and believes there is no limitations to a child's learning in the right environment and there's no greater gift that the ability to shape and nuture young minds to become independent and kind.
Nat's House provides all the fun and activities whether at home or out on adventures. We have lots of learning experiences, both indoors and outdoors. We love to be outside and exploring our beautiful natural world.
We believe that each child is an individual that should have their passion supported wherever they are. Providing a home from home environment that nurtures the growth and development of all the children in our care. We use the EYFS as guidance to help and support each child to reach and fulfil their own potential. Working not only with children, but their family, so that every child is nurtured throughout their important early years.
My Experience
I am Ofsted registered and have been for almost 7 years. My husband, 2 oldest children, assistant and I all hold a full enhanced DBS.
Myself and my assistant hold a level 3 safeguarding certificate and are both first aid trained.
I hold a CACHE level 2 certificate in childcare and education.
I also hold a CACHE level 3, early years educator certificate.
*Other certificates include; advanced child protection, prevent duty in EY, promoting positive behaviour, Language development, speech and communication development, autism awareness, ADHD awareness, improving learning through play, SEND, Early help assessment, outdoor play, cultural awareness, food hygiene, OCR level 2 in health and social care and many, many more.
I have nursery & special needs experience.
I have previously worked as a community care worker, with the elderly and for 8 years I worked as a specialised care worker, working with learning disabled children and adults, in their home and in the community.
I believe we all have something to learn from each other.
