I really enjoy providing a friendly and loving 'home from home' for the children in my care, and helping them to learn new skills and understanding through play-based activities is very rewarding. During term time the younger children enjoy a range of play based activities to develop their knowledge and skills across the EYFS, and during the school holidays I offer themed weeks where all of the children can take part in a range of activities and outings. My home and play equipment, toys and games etc. allow the children to enjoy playing together and form good friendships. My current Ofsted grading is 'Outstanding'. I have Early Years Professional Status. Note: I do have a pet dog and cat which cannot be excluded from the setting.
