McMennum, Mrs Susan Ann (Tiggertails)
My name is Sue McMennum, I live in the Branksome area of Poole, and have been Childminding for many years. I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder. I am accredited to give parents a choice on receiving government funding up to 30 hrs per week- or equivalent to maximum annual entitlement of 1140 hrs over a stretched period - I offer inclusive practice, and partnership with parents, to accommodate flexible requests on childcare. I thoroughly enjoy caring for our early years children - I work alongside Policies which include First Aid, Child Protection, all aspects of Safeguarding, Health & Safety, Sickness, Behaviour /SEND , Anti - Discriminatory and many more. I have Public Liability and appropriate business home and motor insurances. I currently work with trackers for 0-4 years which I record observations, developmental status, and make assessments, towards implementing next steps. I provide opportunities to extend learning skills promoting opportunities with various play activities, exploring the environment, experimenting to discover how things work We sometimes go on outings to places of interest We visit toddler groups, childminder drop-in groups, farms, adventure parks (Moors Valley), nature and wildlife parks, go for walks, visit beaches, these experiences support children to learn and develop knowledge of the wider world extending Cultural Capital. I have indoor play, home corner, dressing up facilities, music, messy play, painting, play dough, stories, and fun with phonics for school readiness, and much more. Educational visits to Farms, and museums - additional costs for entry fees for each child are invoiced monthly to your Account. Since COVID-19 LOCK-DOWN I have asked Parents to continue to work alongside side my Covid Policy and Safeguarding Policy keeping the setting and our families as safe as possible and making changes when required against the Government guidelines. Settling in sessions are available once a contract has been completed Please come and view my setting and see what I have to offer your child for a safe happy and stimulating environment-
