I have put together a rather detailed portfolio listing everything you need to know about me as a Childminder so here goes. |
|
I have an up to date Paediatric Medic First Aid certificate. This is valid for three years. |
|
|
|

|
2. Access to psychology in which I gained six credits. |
|

I endeavour to provide a healthy well balanced diet for the children I mind, making eating fun but healthy. |
|
|
|
Making sure the child has at least one piece of fruit a day. |
|
|
|
All drinks are kind to teeth. |
|
|
|
No sweets or chocolate will be given to a child in my care. |
|
|
|
Parents are requested not to send food or sweets with their child and any special diet is discussed at the outset. |
|
|
|
Behaviour Policy |
|
|
|
Children need to be taught how to behave. |
|
|
|
Self discipline can be taught through play. |
|
|
|
If a child misbehaves they will be taken to one side and their behaviour will be discussed and reasoning will be the main approach. |
|
|
|
Shouting at a child or hitting them will never be permitted. |
|
|
|
If a child upsets another child or misbehaves on a regular basis, the parents will be informed and asked to speak to their child. |
|
|
|
Hopefully together being able to sort out any problem that may arise. |
|
|
|
Rest period |
|
|
|
Children need to rest. |
|
Let me know the routine of your child. |
|
When does he/she take a nap. |
|
Where do you wish the child to sleep. |
|
How long would you like the child to rest for. |
