Hi – My name is John from Aspects Childcare, and I am a childminder in Newmarket. I co-childmind with Jessica, and Racheal who runs Tiny Footprint Outdoor Explorers.
I have experience of caring for children from birth to late teens in a personal and professional capacity and used to teach English to students in Vienna.
I am a qualified Archery Instructor, Level 3 Early Years Educator and am just completing my Level 5. I am a hands on, out and about person who enjoys taking the children off on adventures to farms, National Trust places and local events to enhance their learning and to have fun!
Parking on driveway or at front of house for easy drop off and pick up.
Situated just off the bus route through Newmarket.
Close to Exning and the A14.
Typically: 7am – 5.30pm Monday to Friday all year-round for ages birth to teen BUT can be open for additional hours during the week and at weekends when needed and agreed in advance. We currently offer: All day, full time, part time, term time only, all year round contracts available. Before and After school club for Paddocks Primary Holiday club for all children Please do note that I am flexible according to parents need as I know how difficult it can be to find good quality childcare for the hours that you need!
As part of our co-childminding team we offer:
A sunny, bright learning environment to suit all ages.
Safe indoor and outdoor areas.
Space for bustling, noisy interaction.
Quiet areas for thoughtful play and reading.
Designated Outdoor Classroom with sensory boxes.
Space for arts, crafts and messy play.
A fun, lively environment for children to learn and grow!
We try to go out as much as possible, including to our 3 acres of private woodland.
We are very much an outdoors child-led practice so sometimes we are never quite sure where the activity will go or where we will end up!
I have experience of working with outside agencies to support children to meet their individual needs and targets and have completed a Makaton course to aid and support more children.
I have also completed my CPD ‘supporting children and families with English as an additional language’ course.
Each child will have a designated keyperson who can work closely with the parents or carers to support the children to thrive in our home from home environment.
We can cater for most dietary and cultural needs so please ask if you require anything specific and we will do our best to accommodate you!
