I work before and after school wrap around care from 7.30am 9.00am then 3.00pm until 5.00pm Monday to Wednesday also Thursday and Friday 7.30am until 9.00am term time only. As a childminder I provide a warm and welcoming home based setting in which the children in my care will be safe, secure, happy, content, and part of a large family. Through varied activities the children are encouraged to participate at a level appropriate with their age and stage of development. I have a large enclosed outside area where the children enjoy playing and gardening activities.
