I provide a warm, caring, homely environment in which children can feel secure and valued as individuals. We have a large very well resourced playroom which is used exclusively for childminding and a garden where we grow our own organic vegetables and keep chickens for their eggs. From observing the children's interests and communicating with parents I plan a variety of activities and outings to promote learning through play and first hand experiences. A weekly plan is provided detailing the week's activities, outings and menu. As a validated childminder I can offer all 3/4 year olds up to 15hrs of free childcare per week. Information pack available, please ask as I can post or email this to you. I am constantly updating my childcare related training and qualifications (please contact me for full details).
