My Summary

My Experience

Whilst my original childcare experiences stem from looking after my own 4 children, I have been childminding since 2002 and have cared for many children.

My ethos is to treat the children I care for as I would like someone to do for my children. My philosophy for how children learn in the early years is based on high quality play experiences; which is a child's fundamental right. I believe that play enables children to understand and make sense of the world around them: physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially; thus developing vital life skills, enabling children to develop into healthy, competent individuals. I am committed to building children's learning power, helping children to become confident, creative, motivated doers and thinkers, thus developing in children an enquiring mind and spirit.

I endeavor to offer children varied and stimulating high quality experiences, both indoor and out door in an environment that meets children’s individual needs for learning and development. These play experiences will offer open ended and enjoyable opportunities for children to explore, investigate, develop new skills and consolidate existing skills by practicing what they already know and try out new experiences; thus promoting positive self esteem. This includes:
• Open spaces – indoor and out door
• Outings
• Music
• Loose part resources
• Sensory play
• Messy play – this includes mud play
• Social experiences
• Imaginative Play
• Books
• Construction
• Role Play

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework provides a structure and guidance for appropriate age and stage learning and development.
