I have four children of my own who I have stayed at home to care for over the past 10 years. I have been caring for other people's children for three years and love supporting them through their play. I enjoy the challenge and demands of meeting and understanding different needs and watching children grow as they learn and become friends. I build a trusting bond with children and enjoy being there to support parents and their busy lives. I provide lots of reassurance and care and place a great emphasis on good communication with parents and attachments with individual children. I keep knowledge and training up to date and am keen to model best practice in my setting. I provide lots of resources and age appropriate toys. I truly strive to make my setting a great place for children to be.
