Childminder - With vacancies for non-funded or funded children of all ages 0-11 yrs. I have worked for 18 years and I am now an Outstanding childminder: here is a bit about me - Calm and loving: I am very approachable, able to listen, gentle, and also feel I am patient and understanding, but firm in my approach with children and attentive to each childs needs. I not only support the children but offer support to parents as well in a partnership. Nurturing: I will take time to plan and observe children so they can be stimulated and be able to reach their full potential in their development skills by following the EYFS development matters and knowing about British values. Parents are very happy with the care I give their children. I have also worked with children with special educational needs. Forest/Nature: I love being outdoors with children and encourage them to explore nature and the outdoors by doing lots of activities with them i.e. messy play, fishing with rods near lakes, going to my allotment and exploring plants and wildlife I also do a lot of indoor activities such as cooking/baking healthy options and learning through music and dance as I play the guitar and I have a vast range of toys for them to choose from.
