I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder in Shoreham-by-Sea, and offer a safe and secure environment. I am registered to look after babies and children from new-born upwards. I live within 5 minutes walk from Shoreham Train Station.
I have been a Childminder since March 2010.
I am qualified in NVQ Level 3 in Children’s Care Learning and Development (in both Early Years and Playworker), Level 3 SENCO, trained in Understanding Children and Young People’s Mental Health, (plus various other courses, please see below for more details).
I live in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex with my husband, and two daughters (born 2009 and 2011). I have experience of working in a Pre-School Nursery (approx. 2 years) and have been a Childminder since 2010, previous work has been Care and Office work. Both my husband and I have had Criminal Record Bureau checks and the home safety checks carried out by Ofsted. You are welcome to view and check these certificates at your time of visit. Bringing together the varied roles of office, care and childcare, to give children a varied, fun and caring environment to stay in. We also have a very chilled out cat.
The same as a Nursery, Childminders follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS – please see Links above to read more on this), working in a professional manner, observing and promoting your child to achieve their goals in a fun, safe and secure environment. Working together with you as parents / carers to achieve the ultimate outcome for your child.
I do update my website on a regular basis, though please feel welcome to email me for more details on vacancies, prices or any other clarification that you require. Or to arrange a visit. stacey@staceyroberts-childminding.com
