My Experience
I have been a registered Childminder since 1999. My family consists of my husband and our two adult sons that do not live with us, we have 2 French Bulldogs.
I provide a warn caring home environment, encouraging the children to learn and develop and the through stimulating play, activities and outings. I use Early Years Foundation Stage framework in developing the children ensuring that each that each child has their individual needs met, I also use tapestry for parents to see their own childs development and observations.
I feel that children need routine and continuity to help make them feel safe and at ease.
I fully respect the parents needs to return to work and work in partner ship with yourselves to provide the very best care for your child.
