Ofsted Registered Childminder Minster Sheerness Kent

My name is Charlotte Friday, I live with my husband Andy and our son Thomas aged 5. I provide a fun, friendly and safe environment, where children are able to learn through play and every day experiences. Our living room is the main indoor play area, children have access to a wide variety of activities and toys; there are also quiet areas for sleeping and well maintained child friendly enclosed garden with a range of outdoor toys. When I am caring for children we attend local toddler groups and activity sessions at the children centre. We go out to the beach and to the local park. I am a member of the National Childminding association and I regularly attend the local childminding group. I am happy to provide support with homework.

In my Ofsted inspection dated 30th November 2010 I received an overall grade of Good. My inspection judgements show how well children are:

Helped to stay safe: Good
Helped to be healthy: Outstanding
Helped to enjoy and achieve: Good
Helped to make a positive contribution: Good
Helped to develop skills that will contribute to their future economic wellbeing: Good

I welcome ideas and encourage parents to provide me with comments and suggestions in their child’s contact books or when they have time to talk; I believe that working with parents is essential for the child’s well being.
