Service Description:Loobylou’s Childcare is set in a beautiful countryside location, in a large 6/7 bedroomed house (converted Mill) with a large, secured garden and a separate secured courtyard space. We often have sheep and cows in the fields surrounding us. We use majority of the house for childminding including a large living room, separate dining room, craft room, large reception hall and large playroom. The sleeping area''s are set up in the bedroom(s) upstairs with camera''s so can be constantly monitored alongside the physical monitoring.
I hold a wide range of relevant childcare qualifications including Level 5 in EYFS, Level 3 in Childcare and Child Psychology. Studying, learning and improving my own knowledge is something that I am passionate about as I want to help children to develop and thrive in my setting.
I have researched and studied a lot of different methods of teaching and am greatly influenced by ''Montessori'', ''Waldorf'', ''Curiosity Approach'' and ''Hygge''. I am also working towards my accreditation for ''Hygge in Early Years''. I have over 10 years of professional childcare experience including working as a childminder, in a nursery and school settings. I have also run playgroups and helped out in rainbows, beavers and cubs! I was also co-chair of governors at my children’s old school for 4 years.
Communication is such an important role in helping children to develop and we start this at a young age with ''sing and sign'', lots of reading, nursery rhymes and one to one time.
I have also studied many methods of sleep training and adapt these methods to individual children. No one method suits all and I am happy to help parents with this as I know how hard it is functioning the next day with a lack of sleep.
I love working with children and am still fascinated by these little people who with one smile can brighten your day in an instant!
