About me...
Hi, my name is Caroline and I live in the beautiful village of Stamford Bridge.
I have had a passion for childcare since I was young girl and I find spending time with children great fun and very rewarding. So much so that after leaving school with 9 GCSE’s I enrolled at Beverley College to study for a BTEC National Diploma in Early Years. On this course I gained lots of experience working in different nursery settings and with different age groups. I have gathered experience from schools, nurseries, childminders and playgroups as well as spending time on the baby ward at Hull Royal Infirmary.
Since completing my Level 3 in Childcare I have worked in a number of different nurseries in the York area. During this time I have gained lots of valuable experience and have cared for babies, toddlers and pre-school children. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my career so far and have always felt like I had the best job in the world. During my final position I worked as a Senior Nursery Nurse and really enjoyed working as a team, helping to look after children and developing their learning. All this was achieved by planning and creating activities in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage.
After having my own little boy I felt it was the perfect opportunity to start my own childcare business from home. This way I could care for my child whilst providing a home based childcare for other children too. I really enjoy providing resources, planning activities, helping children learn and most importantly seeing them happy and having a good time.
I now have a wonderful childcare facility located on Lob Lane only a couple of minutes walk from school. It is warm and welcoming and full of learning opportunities. Within the setting we have a lovely playroom that is full of toys, musical instruments, creative material and books for all ages. It is designed to be enjoyed by all children aiding them to develop and learn new skills for their future. The children have access to a wide range of resources with the opportunity to pick and choose what they would like to do. We have a gym with soft play, a swinging rope and other fun physical activities to keep the little ones healthy, happy and active. Lastly we have a beautiful secure and spacious garden with outdoor toys, a mud kitchen, a large vegetable patch and fruit trees which the children have access to.
