About Me

I have been a registered childminder for many years now. I run an inclusive setting. Myself and 1 daughter aged 20 still live at home I have my NVQ level 3 DHC level 3 in home based child care. Paediatric first aid a full file of CPD with relevant qualifications all to support my home-based business. I work in close partnership with my school Croftway to get the children school ready I work from 6.30 till 5.30 and the school I cover for wrap around care is is Croftway Academy. All the children call me Aunty Deb and we have a great deal of fun whilst encouraging all the children to learn and reach their early learning goals before they start school. We visit all the local amenities ie beach park soft plays toddlers woods with a great deal of outdoor play. In my setting I have a large designated area the toy room for the children but all of downstairs is free to them too. A large garden with outdoor equipment and a large space to run and have fun. I have been lucky to have always been in demand but I do have a waiting list which I can pop people onto Any questions or for a look around please message and I shall respond as soon as I can Thankyou

My Experience

I work hard to strive to let each child in my setting reach their Early learning goals. Hoping the children have fun whilst in my care I am extremely hard working flexible and understanding to parents needs I am lucky enough to have great relations with all the parents in my setting. I like the children to feel safe have plenty of outdoor fun with daily outings. Children learn manners and have a great start in life most children are ready for school when they leave me and continue to have wrap around care I have children who have been in my setting 12 years.
