Clare Childminding
My name is Clare and I am an Ofsted registered Childminder following the Early Years Foundation Stage. I am a member of the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years, have my Level 2 Paediatric First Aid and have an enhanced DBS.
I had my Ofsted Inspection on 26 June 2018 where I was graded good in all areas.
I live with my husband Darren who is also DBS checked and registered as my Childminding Assistant.
We have two children - both boys. My eldest is 7 years old and my youngest is aged 6. I also have two wonderful grown-up stepchildren. We live on The Links estate in Consett, where I provide children with a safe, happy environment and an entire room full of resources and toys to ensure children meet all aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
We have a quiet room upstairs and we carry out many other activities indoors and outdoors, as well as trips to the park, softplays, swimming, baby/toddler groups etc, having lots fun and learning at the same time.
I have lots of experience through working as a childminder since October 2010 where I have looked after children of all ages, children with special needs and have completed my Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications. Before childminding I worked with children through helping as a Teaching Assistant in schools and part of Girl Guiding UK Association as a Brownie Leader.
I aim to provide childcare to meet your individual needs. I can be very flexible with any hours (Monday - Friday) and am also able to provide a pickup and drop off service for those parents that may need extra requirements. I can drop off and collect from your home as well as most schools and can cover school and bank holidays if required. I offer the 2 years and 3 year old funded places.
I offer 2 year and 3/4 year old funded places.
