Childminders in Burton-on-Trent

| CHILDMINDER BASED IN RESERVOIR ROAD SHOBNALL - SCHOOL DROP OFFS AND PICKUPS AVAILABLE - Hello, My name is Tracey and I became a mum at the ripe old age of 45! My little boy is now 2 and I choose to become a childminder in order to fulfil his needs to be around other children and my long term desire to work with children. We have a purpose build 'crèche' at the bottom of our garden, fully self contained where we look over fields. My philosophy is fun, Learning and Laughter. I can provide excellent references. I have just taken on a wonderful assistant who is working towards her Level 3 NVQ in Childcare. We are family run but promote a professional environment and are committed to the Early Years Foundation Stages. You are welcome to come and see what/how we do things to be sure you make the right choice for your precious one/s.

I am married and have a son born in 2009. I believe in giving kids the best possible start in life without sacrificing fun. I aim to prepare children for school to reach their full potential, via learning through play. I hold an honours degree in Zoology and think using animals and nature is a brilliant way of learning. Going on nature trails, teaching to respect, as well as all the slime and cobwebs you can find to play with, make for a real learning adventure. I have a large collection of toys and learning tools. I will also be developing the garden area to include a herb garden which will be suitable for babies and the very young, a planting station and some interactive toys. I believe frequent trips to playgroups, playgrounds and just simple walks, all add to enriching a child’s experiences. In addition to this, I strongly believe children should be active and eat healthily. I am offering a before & after including holiday cover for primary school. I am Ofsted registered and have completed my local authority training requirements.
