My Summary
About Me
My name is Karen
I am an OFSTED Registered childminder for 21 years, I was graded Good in all ares by OFSTED (last inspection November 2015)
I can provide 2, 3 & 4 year funded places 15 hours per week or from September 30 hours for eligible parents.
I live in Dukinfield with my husband, adult son and 2 children ages 16 & 10.
My home has been planned with childminding in mind and I provide a warm, welcoming and homely environment with a dedicated playroom which is warm, bright and inviting which provides children with both fun and educational resources which the children can access easily.
I provide free play and planned activities for all ages (6 months- 13 years)
The children have easy access to my garden which has a wide range of outdoor play equipment and can be used in all weathers as I have a astro tuff grass area and a playhouse for shelter.
We spend a lot of time in my garden and the children can choose when they want to go outside to play which promotes their good health.
I plan activities around a child's interests (child-led) and to further their development to the next level.
We also enjoy group activities which helps a child's Personal, Social and Emotional development.
We enjoy visiting tots groups, parks, indoor play centres and libraries in our community.
