My Summary

My Experience

***NOT TAKING ANYMORE CHILDREN***
Cruise Childcare was established in July 2011, and to date has cared for in excess of 80 children along with bringing up my own two children, all of varying ages, stages of development, I also have experience with SEN.

I regularly visit various playgroups and meet up with members of Maltby Childminding Group, parks, woodland walks and the local library. This is a great way for children to build up positive relationships with other children and adults, and to experience new and different settings and resources to assist with their learning and development through play.

There are currently 18 children on Cruise Childcare's roll, all varying in age from 12 months, the oldest being 9 years old at the moment. Some children are day time only, some are before and after school and some are ad-hoc cover to fit around parents shifts - flexible to suit each child and their families individual needs.

INCLUSION INFORMATION:
I am committed to include children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities including medical and dietary requirements.
I work in partnership with outside agencies that support with your child to guarantee a multi-agency approach when meeting your child’s identified individual needs.
I have accessed training around areas relating to Special Educational Needs and disability with a commitment to keeping this updated.

Please contact me directly where I will welcome any queries or questions regarding my setting.
