About Me
I offer a supportive and nurturing home from home environment in Pembury, for children aged 4 months and beyond. Places available from May 26th this year (following Ofsted registration visit)
I offer all day care as well as wraparound care including pick-up and drop-offs to Pembury primary school and Pembury nursery.
Hi, my name is Scott. I live with my wife, our 6 year old daughter, and friend. All 3 adults in the house have full enhanced DBS checks and have undergone Ofsted pre-registration checks. We live in Pembury, within walking distance of the local nurseries and school as well as the local park and woodland. We have a small dog (Tigger the cavalier king charles), cat (Sapphire) and fish. In my personal time I enjoy animal encounters, my most recent have included feeding an anteater and cuddling a fox! My favourite way to spend time is making memories with my family.
I decided to change career after the birth of our daughter, nieces and nephew. I really discovered my passion and skills for supporting children, in their early years, to develop.
I would describe my own parenting style as gentle/ attachment parenting and am happy to adopt my approach to what works best for your child: the benefit of caring for children in a home environment is I am able to create tailored care to meet your child's needs. I have national trust membership and know the local area well which means we often have fun adventure days out!
Children have full access to a playroom which has been fully equipped with toys and materials to support fine-motor and gross-motor skills, language development and all core skills in the early years curriculum. In addition to this the children have access to the garden which includes a mud-kitchen and paddling pool in the summer. Activities are carefully planned to offer children an enriched learning experience and most importantly fun! I hold a folder for each child I am supporting in early years with regular assessments and logs of their development for parents to keep when they enter the next stage of their education.
My Experience
I have completed an early years practitioner course and range of other training to support working with children and decided to work in a nursery to gain more skills before starting out as a childminder.
I have recently worked in a nursery as a key worker to consolidate my early years learning and have experience of private babysitting as well as volunteering at the local school for different events.
I have experience of working with children who are neurodivergent, including autism.
