All about my childminding services
Diane's childminding is a registered childminding business providing quality child care in a friendly, homely setting enabling your child/ren to develop, grow, learn and play in a safe, fun-filled and stable environment.
I promote a happy and fun-filled environment through the encouragement of making the children I have now feel confident and independent, I do this by getting the child/ren involved in activities.
Diane's childminding provides full daycare, offers a high standard of care, for children aged between birth to 11 years old, I seek to support children in developing the skills they require to become independent learners and fully benefit from their early years at school.
About the setting
I do the EYFS on all the minding children under 5 years this is done once a month all children have a key worker person which is myself. alongside this, I do a learning journal.
I go to toddler groups, play gyms Mon to Fri I go on outings, and I visit other childminders in the week and childminders visit my home setting, I do activities, themed activities, and all activities go on the activities board the setting is a fun-filled environment for your child/children to success in there learning and development.
All risk assessment is done before I go on any outings new or old it's also done within the childminding home and garden.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Diane Si. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
It is very difficult to come across an outstanding childminder like Diane. She is by far the best childminder we have ever had for my children. She looked after my little daughter for about 2 years, until we left the area and forced to change her childminder, but we couldn't find someone as good as Diane here in Wilmslow. All of my family love her and we are still in touch after a year since we left.
It is a great chance for anyone work with Diane as a childminder.
