Childminding

Hours & Fees

I operate on a flexible basis; my regular hours are between 7:30am and 5:30pm weekdays. Hours outside of these are negotiable, but I do not offer childminding on weekends or overnight.

My fees are dependant on the number of children and hours/days required. As an accredited childeminder I am licensed to accept Nursery Education Funding vouchers for three and four year-olds. I am also able to accept Busy Bees and Allsave Ltd childcare vouchers, should your employer support this.

Quality Assurance

I am an accredited member of Trio's quality-assured Plymouth Network, and a member of Peverell Childminding Support Group.

Activities

During term-time mornings, the children and I attend several different activities and groups. This is a time for them to socialise with other children their age, engage in group activities and experience the wider world. Activities regularly include:

Various toddler groups
Indoor activities centres
Group trips to the park
Visits to the library
Nature walks
Zoo and aquarium outings
Childminding community play sessions

Whilst the younger children sleep, the elder children engage in afternoon activities; these range from story time, games and jigsaw puzzles to craft work, construction and role play.

Meals

At the moment all the children I mind bring their own food. This can be eaten cold, cooked or reheated. When we attend toddler groups a snack is provided (either fruit or a biscuit), or alternatively something from the lunch box may be taken.

Meal times tend to be between 7:30am and 8:15am for breakfast, 12pm and 1pm for lunch and 4pm and 5pm for tea or a snack.

Policies

I have policies in several areas which may be viewed below; you may need to install Adobe Reader to view them.

Insurance

As a precautionary measure, I am fully covered by Public Liability insurance.
