Angela, registered childminder in Bishop's waltham

I live in Bishop's Waltham with my husband and children aged 12 and 8.
I am registered with Ofsted, have first aid training and insurance. I have a BTEC National diploma in childhood studies and CACHE level 3 award in preparing to work in home based childcare.
I have experience in caring for children with additional needs including dyspraxia and type 1 diabetes.
I provide a home from home environment for the children in my setting and work closely with parents to ensure each individual child's needs are met while in my care.
I follow the EYFS and provide many interesting toys and resources to enable children to learn through play and develop their full potential.
I aim to take the children outside everyday so they can explore the world around them and watch the seasons change. I have a small enclosed garden which we use for sand and water play, exploring nature and for growing some of our own fruit and vegetables for the children to try. There is also a playground directly behind my garden which we use regularly for further outside play. There are also many parks and nature reserves in the surrounding area which give the children many opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.
I visit local toddler groups and the local library to help build links with the local community and we also have trips further afield such as to the seaside, farm, woods and soft play areas.
