My Summary
About Me
My purpose is to provide a childcare provision which incorporates the homely feel of a childminding setting whilst also having the benefits a nursery would offer with more children and staff. My setting incorporates plenty of space, interaction and learning.
As a qualified Early Years Teacher, I will be utilising my in-depth knowledge and skills to provide children with the best start into their early years.
I follow a Montessori approach alongside lots of outdoor learning. 'Montessori' is a philosophy and practice that fosters self-motivated growth for children in all areas of their development, with a goal of nurturing each child's natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect. My provision is purpose built and will allow free flow indoors and outdoors all year round.
A brief bit about me and my background. I completed my degree in Early Childhood Studies 12 years ago with a 1st class honours degree. I then continued to train as qualified primary school teacher in a small school in Aylesbury. I later moved back up north where I am originally from and taught in primary schools in Greater Manchester for over seven years. I now have two children of my own aged 6 and 2. I am now beginning my new venture as qualified child-minder opening my own Early Years setting.
From the beginning of my career I started to learn more about what Montessori actually means and it provoked a natural interest. The Montessori approach follows each child’s different learning styles and individual interests to allow them to develop at their own pace. Children should not be afraid of making mistakes. They are encouraged to see them as natural steps in the learning process. Within this ethos they enjoy challenges and gain a sense of perseverance. The focus is on enjoying learning and feeling satisfied at carrying out their tasks.
I have designed and built my own stand-alone early years classroom. I would encourage you to come and have a look around and have a chat to see if this is the setting for you and your child.
