In addiiton to meeting the training requirements for Ofsted registration, including a qaulification in Peadiatric First Aid, I also hold an NVQ level 3 in Childcare, Learning and Development and keep my training up to date through other relevant training courses. I like to encourage children to participate in a healthy and active lifestyle and I make regular use of local facilities such as playgroups and parks as well as the excellent range of playground equipment in my garden. I also take the children to organised local activities such as soft play, music classes, library reading sessions, and occasional visits to the local zoo. No two days are ever the same and I believe that this variety creates a stimulating environment in which children can have the opportunity to try new things and to grow as individuals.
