My Summary
About Me
Hi I am an OFSTED registered child minder. I have been a qualified nanny for 16 years and a child minder for 11 years.I have a gorgeous 12 year old girl who is very happy and easy going. I am a bright, happy person. I am caring,trustworthy and reliable. I enjoy my work and get great satisfaction seeing a child develop and strive to reach their full potential.
As a childminder I offer a warm, safe, clean, home from home environment. I provide fun activities in line with the EYFS such as baking, den building, arts and craft, sensory play and many more! I attend local toddler groups, soft play sessions, local parks, the library and meet with other childminders for group activities. We take part in sponsored events such as Den Day and go for nature walks at Riverside. We also do sessions at Wrigglies in town for very different animal experiences! My daughter has one rabbit which is kept outside. We also have 2 chickens and do activities like collecting the eggs and baking with them.
I consider myself an organised person, confident in my abilities and enjoy new challenges.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and gardening.
I enjoy reading, visiting new places and seeing my friends.
My Experience
In my 16 years experience I have worked with a wide range of aged children, from babies to teenagers. I was made redundant in 2013 from a job I loved with four children aged 5,9, 16 and 17. I had been there just under 3 years. I took my own daughter with me when she was four months. Since being made redundant I have become OFSTED REGISTERED so that I can stay at home with my daughter and work with children. My previous work includes 3 years experience with two children with Autisum and Epilepsy. This involved working fo two families, part time. My role was to work along side a specialist Pre school to reinforce their teaching programme. I worked with speech and languge therapists and occupational therapist. I did several courses during this time including a Makaton workshop which I have also used in my current job to encourage language.
I have also worked with a family with three children aged 4, 8 and 10 for 2 and a half years. My role was provide general care, organise activities, be involved in their schooling and nursery duties. They enjoy craft activities so I would often leave work covered in glue and glitter!
My Qualifications
I qualified in 1998 with an NNEB Diploma in Nursery Nursing (level 3).
I have a current First aid certificate with the British Red Cross and have completed several over the years to stay up to date.
I have received training for Makaton and First aid for Epilepsy.

I am a registered child-minder and offer child care from the hours of 8 am until 5 pm Monday to Thursday at my home. I am in the catchment area for The Mary Bassett Lower school.
