My name is Natasha Grana and I run Curious Cubs Childminding in Corby, Northamptonshire. I am 26 years old and live with my husband and 2 children aged 5 and 3. We also have 2 dogs Milo, the 7 month old Labrador puppy and Roxy a 13 year old cocker spaniel cross breed.

My experience is in the NHS and care as a health care support worker working with vulnerable adults with mental health and learning disabilities. Since having my own children I developed a love and passion for early years and providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to grow, learn and have fun.

I have received early years foundation stage training, full paediatric first aid and all adults in my home are enhanced DBS checked.

My setting is a home from home environment with use of my downstairs area made up of a dedicated play room, living area and dining room. My play room is full of educational and role play toys including dressing up clothes, instruments and toy kitchen. I have a huge selection of toys to suit all ages and regularly update and rotate the selection. My dining area is equipped with table and chairs with lots of crafts and arts materials available for creative thinking and exploring. Children will benefit from a mix of structured and unstructured play with daily play outdoors. My garden includes a large double swing and slide climbing frame and a range of outdoor toys.
