Childminders in Forest Heath

| I am mother to 3 grown up children my eldest being 28 and youngest 24 and also now a Grandmother to a baby girl. I was a childminder for 14 years and have been a nanny for 8 years. I am fun loving with a good sense of humour, I love the outdoors, geocaching, going for walks. I am very confident with babies, young children and school age/teenagers too. Happy to oversee Children's homework and reading. I Love to paint, do arts and crafts, sewing and baking. Also happy to do school drop off and pick ups. Run errands etc.

| I have been a Ofsted Registered Childminder since 1993. I initially became a childminder as I wanted to care for my own children. I have cared for children from 8 weeks to 16 years. I have all the relevant child minding qualifications as well as 9 GCSE's b and c grades and a Higher national Certificate in Biology. I only care for a maximum of three children at anyone time so I can provide quality childcare. I take the children I look after to age relevant groups including Toddler Groups, Music Groups, Childminders groups and the Children's Centre Please contact me for more information.

| My name is Racheal and I run Tiny Footprint Outdoor Explorers childcare in Newmarket. I have over 15 years’ worth of experience in looking after children from birth to late teens and have also been lucky enough to work in the education sector where I was able to support their learning and encourage them to grow and develop. I have six children of my own ranging from 1 to 20 years old and understand the different stages of development they go through and the challenges this may bring! As well as the Early Years Level 4 qualification, I have a Level 3 Teaching Assistant diploma, Level 3 in Education, Training and Assessing, and modules from the Open University ‘Working with children, young people and families’ degree course. I am a member of the Forest Childcare Association and am continuing my training so that Tiny Footprint may provide even more outside opportunities for the children in our care. I have an enhanced DBS certificate, paediatric first aid training, safeguarding, level 2 Food Hygiene and other CPD training such as Makaton, EYFS Speaking and Listening – a full list can be provided on request.
