Registered childminder
My name is Angela, I am a registered childminder with over 28 years’ experience of working in childcare. I am level 4 qualified in childcare and early years. I have up to date mandatory training in safeguarding, paediatric first aid and level 2 food safety amongst other relevant qualifications. I live in a 3 bedroomed house in Abram, Wigan with my 21 year old son and 2 pet cats Joshi and Luli.
I offer a warm, friendly, home from home environment where children feel safe, nurtured and happy. I provide a variety of fun, stimulating learning experiences through various toys, equipment and activities both self-chosen and adult led, indoors and outdoors which promote all seven areas of children's developmental needs in line with the recommended early year’s foundation stage framework (EYFS).
I do frequent observations and assessments of each child and work very closely with parents/carers and other professionals to ensure that all children are receiving the best possible care, taking into consideration parents’ wishes and children's individual needs.
The whole of the downstairs of my home is used for childminding which comprises of a designated play room, kitchen, utility room, bathroom and enclosed back yard.
I am registered to look after a maximum of 6 children under 8 years old, however I only take on 0-5 year olds, I do not cater for any school age children. My ratio is 1 adult - 3 children, only 1 of which can be under the age of 1 year old at any one time, unless due to exceptional circumstances such as twins or under continuity of care. I only ever have a maximum of 3 children aged 5 years and under.
My full day fee is £35 per day from 08.00 - 17.30. Fees include breakfast, 2 snacks and drinks. (Packed lunch/formula milk/baby food/nappies and creams to be provided from home). My half day fee is £20 per session, from 08.00 - 12.30 or 13.00 - 17.30 (slightly earlier start available if required).
I take children on regular outings around the local areas, including parks, shops, soft play centres, nature walks by the canal and woodland, and trips into town.
