My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Kate, and I am a dedicated and experienced childminder with a passion for providing high-quality care and nurturing environments for children. With over 3 years of professional childminding experience, I have had the pleasure of working with numerous families, helping their little ones grow and thrive.
I live in Dringhouses in a quiet private area that backs onto the cycle track and the racecourse, we have a beautiful enclosed park with play equipment within a few minutes’ walk from my house. I have an enclosed all weather garden. And a beautiful spacious setting which you can view on Asenby House Daycare, I also have off-road parking for 3 cars so drop off and Pick up is hassle-free.
My Experience
Before starting my own childminding business, I worked in a nursery setting for several years, caring for children from 3 months to 5 years. This experience allowed me to gain invaluable skills in early childhood education, child development, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. I am well-versed in supporting the unique needs of each child ensuring they receive the individual attention and care they deserve.
For the past 3 years, I have been successfully running my own childminding business, providing a safe, nourishing, and stimulating home environment for children. I am dedicated to offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere where children feel valued and are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow. My home setting is equipped with a variety of resources to support a well rounded developmental journey. Educational toys, books, creative materials and lots of play equipment in the back garden which is an enclosed private safe space.
