My Summary

My Experience

I have been childminding for more than 10 years and in that time I've looked after children from several families, usually from when mum goes back to work until the child goes to nursery or school. I also provide after-school care from local schools.

After completing my degree I spent a year volunteering in two local schools in preparation for my PGCE, gaining further experience of working with school-age children.

During my teaching placements for my PGCE I worked with children from a range of ages (3-11years) and abilities, including children with special educational needs.

I also have Eighteen years experience of working with children outside of school through my role as a Brownie leader.

Fifteen years ago I began perhaps the most important experience of all; caring for my own child and being a (weekend) step-parent to two!

My Qualifications

I have completed a childminder registration course as well as courses in Paediatric First Aid, Food Safety, Equality and Diversity and Safeguarding.

I also have a PGCE in Primary Education and a degree in French and German.

My Availability

My usual working hours are Monday to Friday 7am-6pm. Other hours are negotiable.
I currently have day time spaces for under 5s on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and limited spaces for after school care for children attending Wyndham Primary School or St Cuthberts Primary School. I don't do midday pick ups from playgroup.
