Childcare in Chester

| My name is Jessica. I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder and Nanny and I currently work in Boughton Chester. I offer happy, friendly childcare. My setting is a warm and safe place for all children to learn and play together, I like to provide a home from home environment. Our daily activities include messy play; music and story times; arts and crafts; dressing up and role play; puppet shows and rhyme-time to mention just a few. I also take the children to our local library; play areas and local shops. I encourage the children to use their imaginations and creativity. At The Curiosity Den we understand that no two brains are the same, each child has different strengths, needs, gifts and dreams. We work with each child independently and aim not to teach the same thing, the same way and to reach the heart of every child. I encourage good behaviour including good manners, promote healthy eating (can cater for allergies) and an active lifestyle.

| I'm a friendly, outgoing and caring individual with an array of adaptable skills. Although I have not yet had experience of childcare in a professional level I have spent a great deal of my life babysitting my younger cousins and sibling, and spent time doing work experience in a pre-school of children aged 3-4, both of which I enjoyed greatly, so believe I am more than capable. In my free time I enjoy a mix of running, reading and socialising with my friends.

| I am currently studying Animal Behaviour and Biology at the university of Chester. I have babysat for family and friends in previous years, as well as pet sitting and house sitting too. I have a keen interest in animal welfare and conservation so am happy to help out with Pet care as well. Additionally, I have helped out in multiple youth groups and kids groups over the years, therefore providing me the experience and insight into childcare of different ages. I believe that I will be able to provide a great service as I am loyal, punctual and always carry a smile.

| I have a lot of experience working with all age groups. I have a 2 year old sister who I raised and I have worked in a nursery. My last work involved me working with asd and I loved it.

| I have worked within a childcare setting from the age of 16 alongside my education working with children from Age 3 months to 11 years old. Whilst working in a nursery i have developed valuable skills to help children grow and develop. In 2022 at the age of 17 i became room leader of an after school and holiday club where i planned activities following interests of the children. I am enthusiastic, caring and have the childs best interest at heart but understand each child is different and each need own needs. I have also taught Karate to children for 8 years at my local club. I love arts and craft, reading story’s as well as ensuring the children are safe. I have an enhanced DBS, Paediatric first aid and Full UK drivers license which can be provided.
