My experience with children spans 30 years, with my own children and my grandchildren. I have cared for children of all different ages. I provide a warm, friendly, safe environment for children to flourish. I attend Sure Start Children's Centre's with pre-school children, where we read, paint pictures, bake and interact with other children.

When weather's permitting, we go out to the local parks, see the animals at the nearby farm and go on exploring nature walks. I also take younger children to swimming lessons with parents written consent.

We also celebrate all the festive calendar events such as Christmas, Easter and Halloween and other festivities from different cultures. We celebrate by dressing up in different costumes, do role play which the children love, and make festive paintings.

I have obtained all the required qualifications to be a fully Ofsted registered childminder. I continue with my personal development and completed level 3 Diploma Children & Young People's Workforce qualification in May 2014. I have been graded as  'Good' in my Ofsted inspection report.
