Overview
A very warm welcome and thank you for taking the time to look at Kate Turner Childminding. I am an OUTSTANDING SCA Early Years Ofsted Agency Registered Childminder. I provide high quality childcare in Hucknall, Nottingham.
I am a qualified primary school teacher and SENCO. I taught primarily in KS1 and the Foundation Stage for over 25 years. My last teaching post was as an Early Years Leader. I am also happily married to Simon and mum to two teenagers.
I am passionate about Early Years and I believe it is a privilege to help young children at the start of their learning journey. At Kate Turner Childminding, the children learn through play, they spend lots of time outdoors, digging in mud, jumping in puddles, using their imaginations, telling stories and do all the things I passionately believe are best for very young children and have been the favourite part of my teaching career.
I only provide care for EYFS children (those children who are under 5 years old) so that we can go on lots of adventures without the constraints of school runs and I can therefore tailor the EYFS curriculum exactly to the needs of these children.
I have worked hard to create a homely child-minding setting where children can learn and have fun. Each day there is a balance between routine and spontaneity and free play and structured activities. This means the children have consistency and a reassuring pattern to their day, but they are also filled with exciting new adventures and experiences.
I hope that this information has given you more insight into Kate Turner Childminding and will help with choosing childcare for your child. Choosing the right childcare provider is such an important decision. It is only natural to feel anxious about leaving your child in the care of someone else, a person that you initially don't even know very well.
If you think that Kate Turner Childminding could be the right provider for you please feel free to contact me to arrange a visit so you can come and meet me and ask all the questions you like.
