Mini Badgers Childminding will be open from September 2020 and we are accepting visits now! I firmly believe that children should be able to explore our outdoor environment as much as possible. Immersion in nature has so many benefits for children's development; teaching them to care about the environment; helping them sleep better at night; developing their motor skills; and encouraging a healthy life style. To facilitate these, we will be doing regular trips to nature reserves, parks, beaches and forest areas. At home I have a lounge/play room packed with a variety of toys, arts and crafts, and books. I also have a back garden with garden toys, sand and water play, slides, and an area to grow fruit and vegetables. I will be working closely with other, local childminders so your children benefit from both a smaller bubble groups within a home-from-home setting. I am passionate about my job and love being able to help children explore, play, learn and guide them to their full potential. My qualifications include: BA Hons in Professional Practice in the Early years, Level 5 Early Years Degree Level 3 Safeguarding Training, Full Pediatric First Aid Training, Food Hygiene Training, Cache Childminders Course, Forest School Training, SenCo Training I also attend regular training courses to allow me to continue to develop my knowledge and remain up to date with current legislation and any changes. Due to the current Covid-19 situation, I will be following the government guidelines as they update. I have also completed a course about covid-19 to extend my understanding on how I can further support the children and families in my care. Opening hours are 7.30-5.30 Monday to Friday.
