*CLOSED BUSINESS*
As I run my business from my home, it is my priority to provide a warm, safe, welcoming and loving environment where children will feel comfortable and enjoy their time and parents/ carers feel confident and at ease leaving their child. As a registered childminder I will look after children in my own home, offering a safe, accessible and flexible service to parents and carers on
weekdays from 8am-5.30pm. I understand a new routine for younger children can be difficult and I will do all I can to ensure it’s an easy transition for both child and parent. I am very interested in understanding the learning and development of children and am intrigued and passionate to further this. I am a very creative person and will offer a whole range of activities that encourage engagement, positive learning and development. I like to organise structured activities, which will include regular story times, musical play, arts and crafts, sensory activities, puzzles, baking and cooking. I also feel its beneficial to have flexible schedules as well. Outdoor play is always encouraged and I will try and take the children out as much as possible (whether that be walks, free play or outdoor activities in a safe environment). I believe children should have the option to choose what they would like to do and have the freedom to explore in whatever interests them (age appropriate). I will encourage them to take part in activities, but will never force them to do anything they don’t want to. I will always have a full fruit bowl and healthy snacks for the children, in line with nutritional standards. I am more than happy to give children their meals/ snacks that they have brought in with them. I will encourage children to participate in the preparation of foods.
