| I have 30 + years experience with children aged 0-16 and a 16 year old son of my own. The childcare I offer is nurturing, child-centred and eduactional as well as active and fun! I place great importance on the emotional welfare of the children in my care. Through the use of active listening and creative play I am able to respond to their individual needs with understanding and empathy. I provide age appropriate activities including exploring nature, arts and crafts, stories, lots of active out and about excurisions as well as gentle times relaxing with a book or some music. My skills are gained from years of first hand experience supported by a strong interest in child development and extensive reading on the subject. I find the company of children enriching and rewarding and, as a parent myself, appreciate the hard work that goes into parenting. I look forward to meeting you and your family and working together to create a warm and happy environment for your children. I have excellent references from local Devon families.
