About Me

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

I registered as a childminder in 2008. I live with my husband Simon and two children, aged 11 and seven years, in a house in Idle, Bradford. The whole of the ground floor and the rear garden are used for childminding. We have one dog and two cats as pets.

 

I am NNEB Qualified and hold a Foundation Degree in Early years.  For the second time, I was Graded outstanding throughout by Ofsted at my most recent inspection, in October 2014.

 

Being graded good or above by Ofsted also means I can claim 2 year old funding and 3&4 Yer old funding.  This means that the term after a child turns two (for some children) and Three (for all children) you can recive 15 hours free chidcare for them.

 

I have a first aid qualification along with food hygiene and have carried out many training courses.

 

 

My previous childcare experience includes:

 

  • Seven years as a deputy manager of a private day nursery.

 

  • Numerous childcare placements within nurseries, schools,

  • With health visitors and on children’s wards.

 

I have experience of caring for children with:

 

  • Specific dietary requirements.

  • Allergies.

  • Learning difficulties.
