My Summary
About Me
Hi I am a ofsted registered childminder outstanding in the East Hunsbury area I live with my husband and we have two children a five year old son and a two year old daughter , and I am passionate about caring for children and keeping them safe at all times within my home environment.
I provide home to home care and warmth within my environment and I feel it’s important to meet the individual child’s needs. I will continue with the child’s routine from their home environment and work with their interests and follow the EYFS framework to extend the child’s development further.
I believe being outside is fun and healthy for the child so we will be going on walks to explore the environment and visit our local library sharing books and joining in with music and group activities and also twice a day on school runs. I believe it’s important for children to express how they are feeling so we have mirrors and we often talk about our feelings . I do offer funding spaces .
