Claire Ward - Lemondrop Kids Childminding Services
Hi all my name is Claire and this is my trusty sidekick Lemondrop. Together we make Lemondrop Kids Childminding Services.
I am fully registered as a Childminder Educator, based in Eastwood. I live with my partner and two cats, Pepper and Patch.
I have over 16 years experience of working with children from birth to 13yrs old in a home environment.
My setting offers home from home comforts with activities and adventures both in my home and out and about - with Lemondrop joining in too!
All my activities and adventures are planned with education and having fun in mind. I provide home cooked meals for all children in my care. I will teach your child to be kind to others, to listen and to have a voice.
There is no typical day in my household, some days we could do toddler groups (covid permitting of course), others a visit to the library, baking, crafting - lots of activities that are led by the children, but will include social interaction, educational, fun activities suitable for children's ages and abilities.
Rated GOOD in a Quality Assurance inspection visit from @Home Childcare on 28/11/2022. Read the report.
