My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered Outstanding Childminder (May 2015 & January 2020) who provides full time (minimum 7 hrs) childcare across 4 days (Monday-Thursday ) from my home in Ivybridge, I have 20+ years experience in caring for children aged 4 months - 19 years, I have worked in Pre-schools and Nurseries aswell as working for a short period of time as a Nanny. I have also trained staff to work in Nurseries, pre schools and as childminders to gain their NVQ 2, 3 and 4 whilst gaining the required experiences.
I am registered with Ofsted on the Early Years register to care for 6 children under 8 and also registered on the Voluntary register to care for those over 8 years as well.
I attend local groups within Ivybridge and also take the children out and about to places such as the Zoo, Aquarium, farms and other local attractions. We do lots of free flow play and creative activities based around the children’s interests to aid their learning and development, ensuring children are working within the EYFS curriculum.
When possible we meet up with other childminders so that the children have the sense of a larger group as well as the smaller home based setting to prepare them for pre school and school environments.
