My Summary
Little Learners Childminding
About Me
My name is Monica and I am a newly registered Ofsted approved Childminder in Liverpool, Old Swan area. I have 4 grown up children, the youngest is 15 years old. We also have our pets, we have a dog, chickens and a hamster.
Caring for children has been a huge part of my life and has moulded me into the person I am today. I have worked in children's day nurseries for 20 years and looked after children from 6 months old to 5 years old in nursery. I love to cook, grow vegetables and love messy play and encourage children to join in with these activities.
Childminding is far from just a job to me, there is no greater joy than caring for children who represent all that is best in us. I provide all children in my care with a clean, safe, loving, home-like environment where everyone feels valued. I thrive on providing a quality based setting where standards are high, independence can be developed and where there is a wealth of learning opportunities, both structured and flexible, to help children to achieve their goals and promote their self-esteem. I follow the guidance of the Early Years Foundation Stage and make regular written observations of the children in my care in order to plan activities to support their individual development and needs.
I have a warm and welcoming home, filled with toys and designed around children's needs. I am committed to working in partnership with parents and acknowledge that parents are the experts on their own children. I treat children with care, empathy and respect and as individuals with different needs. I provide children with fun and stimulating learning opportunities that reflect their age and stage of development. I providing a nutritious diet for children and teach children about healthy food choices. I take a professional approach: ongoing training, respecting confidentiality, keeping organised records in accordance with current guidelines, having clear policies and procedures and communicating these to parents. I provide a reliable service that parents can depend on and have confidence in.
I am insured by and am a member of PACEY (Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years)

Monica has been an exceptional teacher for my son, Kristodea. From the moment he started nursery at Little Cedar Montessori, he felt welcomed and cared for. Monica has a genuine passion for teaching and a natural ability to connect with children.
Monica has created a safe and nurturing environment where my son has thrived. He has developed his social skills, confidence, and independence under her guidance. am incredibly grateful for Monica's dedication and commitment to her students. She has made a positive impact on my son's life, and I highly recommend her as a teacher.
