About Me

I am a caring and bubbly person who brings warmth, energy, and a genuine love for working with young children into my setting each day. I pride myself on creating a welcoming, supportive environment where both children and their families feel valued and at ease. My cheerful and nurturing approach helps build strong, trusting relationships, and I am passionate about providing a positive, joyful space where children feel happy, safe, and inspired to grow and learn.

As a dedicated childminder, I am committed to providing a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where children feel confident, secure, and supported in their development. My setting fosters a home-from-home atmosphere, encouraging emotional well-being, curiosity, and confidence through age-appropriate activities, positive relationships, and consistent care. I work closely with families to ensure every child’s individual needs are met, promoting their growth in a loving and respectful space.

My Experience

I have worked in nurseries for several years before becoming a childminder in 2022. During this time, I gained extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in all aspects of childcare. I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of children and families, which has helped me develop a deep understanding of individual needs and effective ways to support each child’s growth and development. This background has equipped me with the skills and confidence to provide high-quality, nurturing care in my own childminding setting. In my most recent OFSTED inspection in 2024, I was awarded a rating of Good, reflecting the quality of care and provision I consistently maintain.

My Qualifications

I have successfully completed an Advanced Level Apprenticeship in the Children and Young People’s Workforce, specialising as an Early Years Educator. Additionally, I hold a Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid and have undertaken comprehensive safeguarding training. To further enhance my expertise and ensure the highest standard of care, I have also completed a variety of additional professional development courses, enabling me to remain well-informed and confident in my practice.

My Availability

I am available five days a week, Monday to Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. Early drop-off is also offered from 7:30 am for an additional fee of £4. I am committed to accommodating the needs of parents and strive to provide flexible and supportive childcare arrangements wherever possible.

Good
15 August 2024
A recent inspection has highlighted both strengths and areas for improvement in this early years setting. Children benefit from a safe, nurturing environment with secure relationships and a curriculum that prioritizes literacy development. Good behavior and sharing skills are evident. However, the implementation of the curriculum needs improvement to enhance children's communication and language skills. Overall, the setting provides a positive learning experience with room for growth in specific areas.
