Sapphire’s Childminding

Sapphire’s Childminding We are a local professional and friendly childcare service. I am an Ofsted registered childminder in Tonbridge. I was graded good by OFSTED.

I offer a real home from home to children with good continuity of care with input from the parents. I am 37 and am a mother of 1 little boy, Jasper born 11/01/10 and 1 little girl, Olive born 27/10/2018. I studied Interior Design at University and worked as a visual merchandiser before becoming a mum. Activities while childminding will include, library visits, toddler groups, creative activities such as painting and making, cooking, messy play and lots of games!! I also endorse outdoor play and so we spend a lot of time in parks and playgrounds as well as my own garden. Stories, rhymes, music, role playing and imaginative play also feature a lot in my setting. My Experience
My son gives me plenty of experience every single day! I have learnt more in his life than ever before! I have lots of creative experience, working as a visual merchandiser and can do lots of crafty activities. I have been Childminding since December 2010. I have experience of many ages, from newborn-11 years. I have vast experience of food allergies, special dietary requirements, eczema, asthma, hayfever and digestive problems. I also have dealt with developmental delay, aspergers, sibling jealousy/rivalry, and sleep problems in the past. My Qualifications
I studied to degree level in Interior Design. I have completed the Diploma in Home-based Childcare part one and the Early Years Educator Level 3 diploma. I hold a valid paediatric first aid certificate with automated external defibrillator training. I am also trained in epipen use. I am Ofsted registered and have been enhanced CRB checked. I do regular training to update my knowledge, especially safeguarding and and food hygiene.

Feeling super appreciated tonight after being presented with beautiful flowers by a new parent on pick up today ❤️🥰
Her little one (very little one 😳) started with me on Wednesday and has settled so easily and happily it’s been a breeze and mum wanted to say thank you 🤩

It’s hard to see…but we have a mama pigeon nesting in our tree in our garden 🥰 so the little ones will be treated to seeing and hearing some baby pigeons when they return in September! I think this mama pigeon may have been lulled into a false sense of peace and quiet during the holidays…I hope she’s prepared for the garden to be quite active in a couple of weeks 😂🙈
