My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Georgie, and I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder dedicated to providing quality childcare in a nurturing, home-from-home setting. My primary focus is on ensuring the safety, wellbeing, and happiness of all the children in my care.
I am located in a quiet cul-de-sac in Kingsteignton, close to the A380, my home offers warm, calm and secure environment for your children. Our house is a clean and relaxed environment with lots of opportunity for creative and open – ended play.
Our spacious lounge is designed for both relaxation and play, featuring a wide variety of resources that children can safely access. The bright and airy dining area serves as a perfect space for meals, cooking activities, and arts and crafts. This area opens onto a secure garden with AstroTurf, providing ample space for running and playing.
Our outdoor area is equipped with a range of activities that promote physical skills, mark-making, messy/water play, and imaginative play.
We spend plenty of time outdoors as we are fortunate to have numerous play parks and outdoor spaces within walking distance. Additionally, we take regular trips to explore the beautiful countryside and visit local attractions such as:
Stover Country Park
Decoy Country Park
Ipplepen Park
Occombe Farm
Rare Breeds Farm
Haldon Forest
Paignton Zoo
Canonteign Falls
Teignmouth Beach and The Den
Various other play spaces in the Teignbridge area
When we are not out and about, the children can enjoy a wide range of resources at home, including books, natural materials, and toys that support their early learning and development.
I have all the relevant training and qualifications, DBS check and Peadiatric First Aid and I am an advocate for gentle parenting.
