History
I have been a registered childminder for almost
20 years. Shortly after my initial registration I trained with Social Services
and became a 'Specialist childminder'. This is to support families at risk/in
need
I then studied my NVQ3 Early Years Care and Education, and went on to work as a
'special needs
classroom assistant' and childminded after school. I continued studying and
achieved a diploma in child psychology, certificates in Health and Social care,
child protection, health and safety, food safety in catering and first aid.
I have also worked as deputy childcare co-ordinator and playgroup leader.
I am now childminding at home again full time and really enjoying it.
