Hi my name is Hannah and I am a qualified (since August 2010)
childminder living in the Ivybridge area.
As a parent myself I
understand how important it is to make the right childcare choice both for you
and your child. It is very important that you look at all the avenues available
to you, just like I did after the birth of my first child. My husband and I
looked at various nurseries, care centres and childminder’s, and eventually
decided upon a child minder due to feeling more comfortable with my child being
bought up and cared for in the comfort of a home, receiving more one on one
attention than I think she would have received in any other setting. I had been
working in recruitment for 15 years and with such a high pressured job it was
very important to me to know that my child was being very well cared for, that
she felt happy and safe, and just as importantly, she looked forward to going to
her childminder’s.
After the birth of my second child I felt it time
that I qualified as a childminder and after the fantastic experience that I had
received form my daughters child care I decided that I wanted to be able to
offer that same level of service to other families, where they could also feel
happy and comfortable with their childcare choice.

I have spent the last 2 years studying to ensure that I have the
highest level of childcare knowledge in order for me to become a highly
qualified and dedicated childminder. I have passed my Paediatric First Aid in
February 2010, then Safeguarding Children in March 2010 (which have recently
been updated) along with passing my ICP (introduction to childcare practice)
also March 2010 all of which are a requirement of Ofsted.
I am currently
studying my NVQ 3 in home based childcare and will continue to improve my
education and attend courses as and when they come my way to make sure that I am
up to date in a world where the law on the protection of and educating children
changes all the time.
Childminding is a professional career choice and
governed by the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) we are monitored by Ofsted
just like any childcare provider. I have regular inspections from Ofsted and
other supporting networks from Devon County Council. We are regulated on the
number of children within certain age groups that we can look after at any one
time, which gives us the opportunity to spend quality time with each child in
our care.
I have now been working as a childminder for a couple of years
and its one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever had. The children that I have
worked with so far have all been very settled and happy in my care. My son is at
home with me full time which also gives any children in my care an immediate
friend to play and learn with.
