BibiCare 

I am a very reliable, caring, friendly, OFSTED registered childminder. I provide a well equipped and stimulating safe environment for children of all ages. I provide various interesting activities for both indoor and outdoor experiences to enhance learning and development in children. I work with the parents to achieve positive result in the caring of children. We often visit various places such as Sure Start centres, parks, local libraries, farms, beaches, museums and shops etc. 

 

I was a Primary School teacher for 17 years prior to setting up my Child Minding Business in September 2010. I have had experience with all age groups and have also had some Special Needs experience including Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD and Autism.

The whole of the downstairs area is available for Childminding which includes a living room, a large open plan kitchen\dining\conservatory and a large outside area which has a playhouse and is also astro turfed. There is also a downstairs toilet and wash basin.

We provide a safe and stimulating environment for children's learning and development. The setting implements the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and ensures all children have equal access and opportunity to actively learn and develop.  Outdoor access is available all year round to extend experiences. We focus on the indivdual childs strengths and support and encourage further learning opportunities building on confidence and skills.

During my 29 years in childcare I worked in many areas including Nursery, Reception, Special Needs, Nanny and now childminding. I provide a variety of activities from imaginative play to construction craft and music depending of the child’s needs and abilities. I attend Kingston Park childminder dropping and toddler groups. Also I take the children on outings some of our favourite places include Leazes Park Saltwell Park, Thornley Woods, Bowlam Lake the library and Dobbies Garden Centre.
