OUR PHILOSOPHY OF CARE

 

 

As registered Childminders, I Steven and my Wife Lynsey aim to provide and maintain a safe and healthy environment for your child/children.

 

We firmly believe in inclusion and every effort will be made to accommodate any needs your child/children have.

 

In our daily practice we aim to:  

 

a.  Set a good example

b.  Encourage Positive thinking

c.  Treat all the children within our care with equal concern, accept 

      differences and respect individuality           

d.  Reward good behaviour, through attention, approval and praise

e.  Encourage Self-Discipline and respect for others at all times

f.   Use encouragement and explanations

 

By ensuring we achieve the above, we hope to help the children within our care to develop/maintain good social skills and self-discipline and positive images of themselves and others.

 

Physical Punishment is not used in this setting.

 

As it will have been discussed with you before entering into a contract with us, Steven and Lynsey work together and also individually which we believe also helps to ensure your child/children receive care and encouragement from both a male and female role model in your absence.

 

We firmly believe in working in partnership with parents and will aim to be approachable at all times, however as we are sure you will understand this can sometimes be difficult when trying to meet the needs of the children in our care, however we will be more than happy to arrange a time convenient to us all if you ever feel you need to discuss things with us, no matter how trivial they may feel to you, as parents ourselves we know just how important the trivial issues are.

 

We hope your child/children will feel safe and loved at all times within our care.
