Karen Jane Whitehouse

I am a registered childminder and I have had several years experience of working in Early Years settings. I am a qualified NNEB Nursery Nurse and I have a Level 4 qualification in Early childhood studies and I hold a level 2 forest school certificate. I have a paediatric first aid certificate and level 2 food hygiene which are renewed every three years

I can provide diaries on a daily basis to record the child's day which includes nappy changing, eating, activities, sleep and I share regular information with parents/carers.

I have a good range of comprehensive policies and procedures which are shared with parents. I have a range of toys and resources which are safe and well maintained and suitable for all age groups. I provide a broad range of interesting experiences for young children.

I provide a good range of healthy snacks and meals and take into account the children's choice and dietary requirements.

I attend the soft play centre, local park and attend toddler groups with the parents consent and I do school runs from local schools.

I have been inspected by Ofsted and have been given a grade 2 which means 'good'. A copy of the Ofsted report is available on request and during enrolment. I do like to have a pre-visit to meet parents and children and to fill in all the necessary documents such as consent forms, contract etc.

I offer free funding for Think 2 year olds who are entitled to claim and free funding for 3 to 4 year olds.
