I am a Ofsted Registered Childminder since 1998 and also have experience with disabilities, I provide an environment and opportunities for children which supports their development at appropriate levels relating to their stage of development and needs.

I can work alongside other professionals and agencies to meet the needs of the child and family. I offer home from home care with a wide range of in and out door play equipment and toys to suit all ages in my care. I attend playgroups during the week meeting with other minders and their children so the children can socialise as part of a bigger group. We also go to the park, zoo, beach, shops, sealife centre, the Tower, attend sports sessions, Jo Jingles sessions, the library.

At home we do activities and free time. I work to the national EYFS curriculum where children progress is continually monitered to enable them to progress through the early learning goals. I have experience caring for children with cerebral palsy, learning and behaviour needs, visually or hearing impaired, medical needs and children on the autistic spectrum.

If needs arise I will l work closely with social workers, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists speech and language therapists and am able to follow and support family to implement physiotherapy plans. I have received training in supporting childrens behaviour.
