My Summary
About Me
Hi, My name is Eleanor & I have been a registered Childminder for over 10 years with many more years experience with children, & am also a nanny.
(Willow Kiddie Care)
I offer after school care from Crindau Primary. I offer a home from home environment offering safe, secure care at my setting, with lots of toys & activities for your little ones to play with as well as a large secure garden. My main aim is for the children to have lots of fun, & learn through play.
I live with my husband, my daughter who's 10 & little boy who is 4, In a semi detached house with a large secure outdoor play area.
I love to be active & encourage this with all children at my setting & like to go on lots of walks & get out nearly every day.
I also like to take the kids out foraging where I teach them all about healing herbs. I am a gardener also, so the children are forever learning about plants & love planting & getting their hands dirty.
From the age of 6 months old, I introduce basic sign language, this enables children to communicate effectively & lowers frustration levels in younger children by giving them a means to express themselves before they know how to talk.
I also like to introduce gentle kids yoga which the kids really enjoy doing.
Please contact me for a chat if you have any questions.
