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.
I am very reliable and very caring and have over 9 years of childcare experience working with children between the ages of 0 and 11 years. I have alse gained valuable experience from my role as a mum to my 2 boys. My qualifications include a BA Honours Degree in Children and Young Persons, First Aid training, Safeguarding Children training and a variety of other helpful training courses.
I have been childminding for 8 years and I am also a qualified cook which I did for 15 years. I have experience of working with children who have special needs.
I take the children to soft play and we go swimming, we go to various adventure playgrounds, musuems, parks and the beach and we also enjoy shopping trips to the local shopping park and the City.
I have a very large enclosed back garden which has a trampoline, two climbing frames, three slides, three swings and two summer houses for the children to play in. I have ride in cars, scooters and prams.
I offer a welcoming and friendly enviroment for kids and their parents. I have a garden space available for outside play and have a variety of toys. I often visit the local library and park to allow children to explore and enjoy their local environment.
