Whiting, Kate

I have been a registered childminder since November 2000 and feel I have lots of experience in all aspects of home based childcare. I offer a home from home setting where your child will be looked after in caring and safe environment. I pride myself in instilling and rewarding good behaviour and manners and not focussing too much attention on the negatives. I have looked after many children in my own home over the years who, when they leave my care, have always left happy and confident and looking forward to the next stages in their lives. I work within the guidelines of the Early Years Foundation Stage, helping to enhance the learning and development of your child. I offer many activities and experiences, including drawing, painting, playdoh, stenciling, dressing up, model making, freeplay, garden play, park visits, fruit picking, woodland walks, toddler and childminding groups and much more. I have a huge amount of toys and activites for children to explore and enjoy. I am an active member of the local childminding group and childminding Network. I am available all year round, but do take at least 4 weeks off each year as personal holiday. Hours of work are fairly flexible so please feel free to ask as per your requirements.
