My Summary
About Me
I am a registered childminder through Homefirst (Northern health and Social Care Trust) and fully insured through NICMA. I am currently registered to look after a total of 6 children - 3 under school age and 3 over school age. I am married with two grown up children and a grandson of eight. I live in Richmond in Glengormley and my home is welcoming and child friendly and has a secure back garden equipped with slides, swings, trampoline, playhouse with workbench, dressing up table, kitchen etc. I also have ride on outdoor toys to include bikes, trikes and cosy coupe cars. I provide a sand pit and water table in summer months.
My Experience
I have been childminding for 22 years and worked in a playgroup previous to this. I feel that a good relationship with parents is the key to success within my home to letting children feel happy and settled. I have a wide range of both indoor and outdoor toys suitable from babies right through to the older child which will keep any child occupied during the day. These include duplo bricks, dressing up, jigsaws, games, arts and crafts, playdough to name but a few. I like to go on outings and these include the local park, picnics, beach, farm/zoo and also soft play areas. I have a 9 seater car which is fully insured for business use and is complete with a wide range of car seats. I also have various items available for use within my house and these include highchair, cot, travel cot, prams etc.
My Qualifications
I have a list of childcare qualifications which include first aid, child protection, NICMA quality first level 3, a developmental programme for 2 year olds, Level 2 Food Hygiene and special needs. This are just a few but all certificates can be seen on initial visit. I keep myself up to date with courses and attend childcare courses run by both NICMA and the Early Years Team. I promote sharing and working together during playtime and allow children to lead the direction of their play whilst giving attentive supervision as this gives them a sense of independence. I also treat every child as an individual as this promotes self confidence.

I currently have places available for both full
time and part time children under 5 and also over 5 and at present pick up from any local nursery/playgroup and also most Primarys. other schools may be considered . My working hours are 730am to 5pm Monday to Friday Contact me on.
