Pre School Manager / Safeguarding Officer

Hi,I am thrilled to be opening Jubilee Childcare (Pre School) at The Garden House. I have 5 children of my own which has given me vast experience of working with children and most importantly understanding them.

I was approached by parents from our Local Primary School in 2004 asking me If I had ever thought of becoming a childminder and I haven’t looked back.

I attended my first childminding course in 2004 and became an Ofsted Registered Childminder. I then achieved my Cache Level 3 in Childminding Practice. I then became part of Stockports Childminding Network which has given me endless amounts of training opportunities, Understanding Loss & Bereavement, Positive Behaviour Management, Basic Makaton Sign Language amongst others.

I hold a Level 3 Level Certificate in Children’s Care, Learning & Development. Whilst Childminding I have employed 2 assistants to work along side  me which has has given me this fantastic opportunity to extend our Home from Home setting to Jubilee Childcare.

Deputy Manager / Safeguarding & Welfare Officer

Hi, I’ve been working with Children since 1996. My 16 years experience covers working in a variety of environments from Nannying, teaching and assessing playwork. Managing play schemes where my role as Deputy Manager I gained a Quality Assurance award for the place I worked at, and more recently childminding.

I have 3 children of my own, which keep me very busy when I’m not working. I am Level 3 qualified in playwork & Early Years, as well as level 4 in assessing playwork and Internal verification. I like to keep myself updated with current practice by attending short courses. I hold my safe guarding level 3, food  hygiene, Health & Safety amongst other qualifications.

Assistant Practitioner

My name is Alix Walker, I have a Level 2 Certificate in Children and Young Peoples workforce and a Level 3 Diploma in supporting teaching & learning in schools. I completed these courses over the past 4 years, I worked in a school setting during this time with nursery year 2 children and have also been working in a Nursery Pre School setting for the past 3 1/2 years.

I found this to be the most rewarding and enjoyable job especially working with the pre-school age group, helping to nurture them and learn and develop through play and exploration. Before this I was a full time mummy.
