My name is Rachel Harding and i work alongside my husband and assistant Glen Harding. Both Glen and I are OFSTED Registered and have Paediatric First Aid Training. I am also a member of the Leeds Quality Childminding Network and have attended local training. I also have a Level 3 qualification in Children and Young People's workforce completed in 2016 having being a childminder for the last 6 year
s. We are parents ourselves, so understand how precious your children are and having all required childcare ourselves previously, we know how important it is that your children feel comfortable when they are away from home. They need to be happy, be safe and have fun along the way. This is what we aim for at Mini Monkeys! Its a home from home. Children should be children and allowed to have fun and explore! As an OFSTED Registered Childminder, I am also obliged to adhere to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Standards, which means that whilst your children are in our care, they learn along the way and all of our activities are centered around the 3 Prime Areas of Learning and the remaining specific areas of learning. We are OFSTED Registered, CRB checked, have experience of dealing with allergies and have valid Paediatric First Aid Certificates. We currently care for children from 3 months up to the age of 11, but could possibly accommodate older children when necessary. We are also members of PACEY, Have Public Liability Insurance, and visit many playgroups and playcentres within the local area. We have a large separate playroom next to our property and a reasonably sized fully enclosed and secure outdoor play area for the children too. We are also available for evening babysitting at our setting. Please feel free to contact us if you need to know more or would like to come for a viewing! Prices includes Breakfast, Lunch and Afternoon Snack. Drinks are provided all day for the children. This includes Milk, No Added Sugar Juice and Water. Nappies, wipes and cream are included. Please supply any baby formula in a daily changing bag along with spare clothing. Whole milk will be provided if the children require it. Under 5 Years Old: Β£4 per hour or full day 7.40am - 5.30pm Β£40.00 per day
Further charges may apply due to outings but will be discussed with parents prior to bookings. Please note: Mini Monkeys was previously trading as Dougie Bears Childminding Services for a year so some reviews will refer to Dougie Bears. Due to personal circumstances, we changed the name of the business to Mini Monkeys. Kind Regards
Rachel Harding.
