My Summary
About Me
Hi, I've been an Ofsted Registered Childminder for the past 20 years, I live in the village of Bugbrooke, 5 miles from the center of Northampton, I offer a stimulating environment for children from birth to 15 years. I have a 21 year old daughter and 3 further children aged 4, 6 and 7 years.
I have a degree in 'Early Years'.
I am accredited which means i can offer funded places (15/30 hours a week) for children aged over 3 years of age.
My Experience
I have over 20 years experience in childcare starting with babysitting and casual childminding work, then progressing into a nursery where I worked as base room manager for a chain nursery. I then spread my wings and worked for Northampton collage as an NVQ assessor, this job opened my eyes to the variety of childcare on offer in Northampton, this is when i decided to start up by own childcare business.
I adore my work and I am passionate about giving children the best possible start in life.
I am committed to offering a high quality childcare service and this is enhanced by my membership of the Northamptonshire Quality Assurance network.
I work within the Early Years Foundation Stage for younger children and I am also accredited to offer nursery education grants for 3 & 4 yr olds.
I hold a paediatric 1st aid certificate, public liability insurance and business use car insurance.
I provide a welcoming and friendly setting where care is tailored to suit the individual needs of the children, ensuring that they receive the attention and opportunity to develop in a loving and secure environment. The children are encouraged to reach their full potential through play and experiences.
Children will develop confidence and independence through a variety of activities such as cooking, music, role play, crafts and story time. Children's development is monitored to ensure activities are provided to allow them to progress to the next stage of learning at there own pace.
We enjoy a variety of outings eg. the park, library, indoor play areas, local toddler groups and Farm visits.
I am constantly updating my knowledge and practice to ensure the best standard of care is delivered.
