About Me

I am a Level 6 childcare provider who holds a BA HONS Degree in Early Childhood Studies. I have been fully qualified since June 2013 and have gained a lot of experience since leaving University. I have worked with all different age ranges of children and have managed a newly opened pre-school for just under a year.

I provide a high-quality childcare from my own home where my son and I live. I am now working alongside an Assistant and I am hoping to expend further in the future. All staff will have the following:
Level 3 Childcare Qualification (or working towards)
Enhanced DBS Check
Safeguarding Training
Paediatric First Aid Training
Level 3 Food and Hygiene
COVID-19 Training

Within the setting we have an Under 3s Playroom, Pre-School Playroom and a large garden area. We provide a very relaxed, happy and caring environment, which focuses on each child as an individual. We offer a lot of one-to-one interaction to every child and this is due to having a much smaller ratio than a nursery or pre-school.

While in our care we will supervise and monitor the safety of the children, prepare healthy and nutritious meals and help children keep good hygiene. We carry out play based educational activities throughout the day within the setting but will also be venturing out into the community. This will give the children the opportunity to learning things such as 'Road Safety' and 'Understanding the World'.

We have full understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage and will be tracking each child’s progress throughout their time with us. We provide a learning journey for each child, which can be taken home when they leave. We promote and demonstrate a high level of professionalism when carrying out our work and take our job extremely seriously.

We provide high quality care by:

Planning, providing and taking part in play-based activities.
Stimulate and support children’s intellectual, physical, social, emotional and language development.
Listening to, encourage, enabling, stimulating and ensuring the safe keeping of children. Provision of refreshments, encouraging healthy eating and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Implement and update policies and procedures in line with Ofsted.

My Experience

Over the years of working with children, I have been in charge of running rooms of all different age ranges, from babies to pre-school in two separate day nurseries. I have also managed a newly opened pre-school for just under a year.

My Qualifications

I hold a BA HONS Degree in Early Childhood Studies which I completed at Canterbury Christ Church University. I also have the following qualifications and certificates:
Paediatric First Aid,
Intermediate Safeguarding Training
Designated Safeguarding Officer,
Prevent Duty,
Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety for Catering,
Safer Recruitment
GDPR

A caring and nurturing environment awaits children at this childcare setting. The curriculum emphasizes outdoor play and exploration, fostering enthusiasm for learning about the world. Communication skills are well-supported through daily reading and narrated play. Children feel happy, safe, and form strong bonds with caregivers. While daily routines could be better organized, the overall atmosphere is loving and positive.
