Nicola Coulthard
I am a Childminder in Middlestone Moor. I have a large family home with a purpose built playroom with direct access onto a well equipped garden. I follow curriculum guidance for holiday care.
I offer a wide variety of toys and equipment, loving family atmosphere and emphasis on high quality service and care in every aspect of the business. I offer home grown vegtables and locally sourced meat with food cooked fresh daily, and all diets catered for.
I hold a Degree in Children's Education and Development and have experience supporting children with disabilities and special educational needs. I hold Level 2 Safeguarding and Level 2 award in Food Safety in Catering. I was also awarded by Bishop Auckland College in 2010 for 'Enthusiasm and Commitment' to 'Carry on Caring'.
I am a council appointed Governor with experience of nursery school and primary school, and constantly update my training through Durham County Council.
I am a member of a formal childminding network and I am currently able to deliver early years education, working full time alongside long term staff.
