I have previous experience working with children as a swim teacher for 6 month to 8 year olds & as an exercise instructor & wellbeing advisor for older children with learning difficulties. I have been Childminding since August 2021. As a level 3 nutritionist I encourage learning of home grown foods & healthy diets teaching food preparation, baking skills & further educate using healthy food match cards & games. We also enjoy playing Yoga & Mindfulness games for their gross & fine motor skills.

About this home
About our tiney childminder
My young son & I are a loving, friendly & fun family offering warm home from home environments. We're in a quiet road in Copthorne, we spend our time learning with natural open ended resources indoors & outdoors, all year round. We visit lots of natural environments such as national trust sites, forests schools, hever castle, beaches, lakes, & parks. We also love to visit lots of commumity based venues such as the library, local play groups, other childminder settings & Crawley town centre.
Unique highlights
Bilingual languages
Our home is of bilingual language, english & french speaking for which I encourage learning of with my young son & little ones who also come from their own bilingual speaking homes.
Expressive Arts & Design
I have a love for anything arty & encourage all things in expressive arts & design & I'm extremely hands on when it comes to messy play. As well as traditional tools like paint brushes we also use all sorts of natural resources, some of which the children source themselves such as pine cones, feathers, sticks & leaves.
Makaton trained
I have completed a Level 1 of Makaton which I really enjoyed & encourage teaching of within my setting. I plan to continue with this training to further my knowledge within this area.
