My Summary
About Me
Hello, My name is Sophie. I am a dedicated registered childminder, Located in Gunthorpe near Norwood Primary and Gunthorpe Primary School. I have a 10 year old daughter called Maisie, I have a son called Kai, who is 6, both who attend William Law C of E Primary School, We have our new addition born January 2021 called Amelia. My partner is called Dean who works as a HGV driver (so rarely home mon-fri). We have a 8year old dog called Olly, his breed is a cavapoo, so very friendly, small and loves people, he also knows his boundaries, and he is non-malting, anti-allergenic.
we love playing games, singing songs. We meet with other childminders, go on picnics, exploring in the woods, feed the ducks. We go to the library once a week. We like to go ferry meadows, stanwick lakes. Playing in the sand + water table, with different sensory items ie, foam, water beads, bubbles, jelly baff etc. Painting, gluing and colouring. And much more.
My Experience
Iv always wanted to work with children from being a young age. I used to babysit on a weekend when i was 16, (until i registered as a childminder) alongside babysitting i also held down a full-time job with other companies. I then registered as a childminder after having my first little girl and worked with another childminder together we cared for many children, all ages ranging from 10month-9years old, which i thoroughly enjoyed, but the childminder i worked with decided to stop, as childminding was not for her. I am now fully registered from my home. I have been registered since 2012. I originally lived in dogsthorpe, I took a 4year break from childminding, I then bought a house in gunthorpe, and now continuing with the role I enjoy.
