Hi, I'm Sue Oscroft. I run Monkey Business Childminding which is an Ofsted registered childminding service . I live in West Melton/Wath-Upon-Dearne in Rotherham. I live with my husband in a detached house with a secure garden containing a wide variety of play equipment and have a grassed area with play equipment just behind my garden.I also have two small dogs.

My setting provides a range of fun and educational toys and resources and we use my garden on a regular basis. I take the children to play groups, soft play, parks and country parks on a regular basis to ensure the children have opportunities to play with a larger group of children and to give them a range of different opportunities.

I offer 15/30 hours funded childcare/ early education places to eligible children and also accept tax free childcare payments.

My Experience

I have been working as a childminder since 2011 and have looked after children aged 0 to 12. I am qualified as a teacher where I have looked after and taught children 3 to 11 (including the Early Years Foundation Stage). I have also brought up 3 children of my own so I have experience of children right from birth to adulthood.

My Qualifications

Formal qualifications:-
B.A. degree, Post Graduate Certificate of Education(PGCE), O levels and A levels.

Childminding qualifications:-
Paediatric First Aid, safeguarding, food hygiene and EYPDP (Early Years Professional Development Programme)

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
14 June 2022
A nurturing home-from-home environment forms the foundation of this childcare setting. Children are happy and relaxed, benefiting from a caring atmosphere that promotes learning and independence. The curriculum is well-planned, with a strong focus on language development and outdoor activities. Children progress well in speech and engage in plenty of fresh air and exercise. While independence is encouraged, there's room for further development in this area and in sharing online safety information with parents.
