Overview
We call our home 'the mad house'. I conduct my work in our house's back room and kitchen/dinner. I have a large garden for the children to play in. We play with sand, water, rice, and shaving foam, we plant seeds and watch them grow, feed the birds, look for mini beasts, we even get caterpillars and watch them turn into butterflies. lots to do in the garden.
In term time I attend different toddler groups. We do planned activities in the afternoons. In the holidays I like to go on day trips out and about. To find out more about 'the mad house' please feel free to call me. Thanks for reading this.
For any funded hours required please give me a call. Children and space change all the time. Also, top tip. If you know you're going to need childcare, book as soon as you can. I have had pregnant ladies come to me. Spaces go very quickly. Not just with me, but with most childminders.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Dietary needs
Parents/carers provide lunches for children. I feel this works best so the child then gets the food they like. I also send home what they haven't eaten so the parents can see how much they have eaten in the day. I will give parents updates regarding food the child is no longer eating and occasionally suggest ideas.
Special needs (children)
Whatever they need as things changes quickly. I do whatever the parents/carers and child requires. I have cared for children with Dyslexia, Cerebal Palsy, Dyspraxia, Autism and Down Syndrome.
