Myself and Blaise are both registered childminders and have worked together for 10 years. I have childminded for 15 years and Blaise started working with me as an Apprentice and has continued to learn and progress in her role and is now a registered childminder herself.

I am a qualified and experienced practitioner with over 15 years experience working with children aged 0-11 years and have attained the following qualifications:

* BA (Hons) Business Degree (L6 Qualification)

* EYPS - Early Years Professional Status  (L6 Qualification)

* NVQ L3 qualification in Childcare and Early Years Education

* Clear DBS

* First Aid Qualified

* DSL - Designated Safeguarding Lead Qualification

(as well as having attained many other childcare related certificates).

I work with an amazing college who I have registered as a childminder too, who has 10 years experience and is also:

* Food Hygiene Qualified

(as well as having attained many other qualifications over the 10 years she has worked for me).

I live in Chiseldon and have use of a separate Nursery room in my garden, where we have the space to be creative and messy. We have ample outdoor space, which is exclusive to my childcare families and seperate from my family garden. We have lots of activities, crafts, toys and resources available. We offer a mixture of child initiated and adult led activities and play opportunities, appropriate for all ages. We are setting based and also encourage lots of outdoor play still and are privileged to have lots of fields and open space right on our doorstep to allow children to explore and connect with nature.

As part of the EYFS we track children's learning and progress via our online system, Babysdays.

All parents will have access to the system via their own personal log in where they can view photos of their children’s day, see information on their child's learning and progress, access end of term reports and  add their own comments and observations.

All paperwork is completed online such as Childcare Contracts, Policies and Procedures for the setting, Accident and Incident Forms and all Communications such as Newsletters and any Local and National updates which effect us as a setting, are sent out via Babysdays.

For more information and a copy of our Parent Pack, please contact me directly.

I look forward to hearing from you.
