About Me

APOLOGIES CURRENTLY FULL

Personal Details:

My name is Jemma Spanswick and I live in Lower Compton, Calne with two children aged 11 and 8, 2 Cats and Labrador Puppy. We have lived in Lower Compton for 10 Years. I am Ofsted Enhanced DBS Checked.

I am an Ofsted registered childminder (Registered January 2020 Ofsted).

Activities:

I offer a friendly, flexible, home from home setting for children up to the age of 12 in a safe environment where they can have fun, explore, learn and develop to their full potential. There will be a period of free play offered everyday as well as planned activities and outings.

We have a fantastic enclosed garden, with a vast collection of outdoor toys, which includes ride on toys, a slide, toy kitchen, play food, playhouse, chalkboard along with various other toys.

I use my playroom to hold most of the inside play and activities, where there is a wide range of different toys & resources compromising of both plastic and wooden toys both challenging and fun. I also have a large range of books from board books all the way up to chapter books. I am very passionate about reading so I will be reading to the children often and send reading books home twice a week. I also have plenty of craft materials for messy play & crafts

Studley Grange Butterfly World, Various parks, Drews Pond, Rowdey Cow, Coate Water, Town, Feeding the Ducks, Toddler Groups,Bowood, Whitehall Garden Centre, Nature walks, Playdates with fellow childminder’s, Savenake Forest, Hope Nature Centre, Lydiard Park,

My Fees

  • Childminding from £5.50 per hour

My fees are £5.50 per hour for EYFS. Payment is required upfront monthly in advance.

Included in that price is nappies, Wipes, Nappy Cream, Outings, Sun Cream, Snacks, Individual Drinks Bottles per child to be used whilst in my care - leaving children free to only bring their book bag, lunch/dinner if bringing their own and daily diary with them each day making morning prep much easier for parents.

I do provide meals at an extra cost

I am happy to accept childcare vouchers and apply to any voucher system your employer may use.

My Local Schools

  • I provide drop offs and pick ups at Cherhill CofE School

My Ofsted Inspections

Good
18 July 2022
A recent inspection report highlights the strengths and areas for improvement in a childcare setting. Children benefit from a nurturing environment that supports their emotional and physical development. The childminder emphasizes helping children express their feelings and regulate their emotions. Physical skills are developed through activities like using tongs and painting. Mathematical concepts are incorporated into play. Areas for improvement include enhancing questioning techniques to extend children's language skills and providing more opportunities for prediction and idea-testing.

Finding Jemma was like striking childminder gold!

5 stars

Our eldest was with Jemma for three years, and as soon as I was pregnant with my second I reserved her place at Little Buddies! We feel very lucky to have Jemma in our lives, she's just wonderful with the kids, easy-going, flexible and informative for us as parents, I simply could not have asked for a better child-minder experience. The number one thing you want as a parent leaving your precious littles is to leave them with someone trustworthy, and we've just been incredibly lucky in finding someone I know our children are going to be safe with. It's just an added bonus that they also have the time of their lives, are constantly learning, and are being nurtured into kind, polite and considerate people through Jemma's compassion, skills, and hard work.

Thank you my lovely x

Quality Find and Kind Soul

5 stars

Have been going to Jemma since my little girl was 1. We are a year in and the bond Jemma creates with the children is unreal, no child is excluded and is treated as if they are her own. My daughter asks everyday if we’re going to see Jemma and sometimes refuses my help if her ‘Jem Jem’ is in the room!! I dread the day we leave for school
