My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Lara, and I am an Ofsted-registered childminder providing a warm, home-from-home environment for children to learn, play, and grow. As a mother of two young children, I understand the importance of a nurturing and stimulating setting where children feel safe and valued.
My Experience
I have years of experience working with young children, including supporting families through my church community. My approach to childcare is loving, patient, and attentive, ensuring that each child receives the care and support they need to thrive.
At First Little Steps, I offer a structured yet flexible routine with plenty of opportunities for free play, outdoor activities, and learning through fun and exploration. I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to support children’s development and tailor activities to their individual needs.
I would love to welcome your little one into our setting. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to arrange a visit!
My Qualifications
I hold all the necessary qualifications required by Ofsted, including a 12-hour paediatric first aid certificate, safeguarding training, childcare training and DBS clearance. I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to support children’s development and tailor activities to their individual needs. My setting meets all health, safety, and food hygiene standards, ensuring a secure and caring environment.
