Sara Jane Woolway
About the childcare provider
Description
Hello! My name is Sara Woolway and I am excited to welcome you to Muddy Puddles Childminding.
With a degree in Early Years education and over 10 years of experience in the field, alongside raising four children and supporting my grandchildren, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a nurturing touch to childminding. I have extensive experience working with children aged 4 months to 5 years, including those with special needs and neurodivergent care. I currently live with my husband and one of our four adult children.
At Muddy Puddles, each child's individual interests and learning through play is at the heart of my approach. I encourage children to explore all the resources available, use their imaginations and follow their own ideas. Each day in Early Years is unique, fun and incredibly rewarding. I am dedicated to making every day a valuable learning experience for your child.
My Services:
I am offering 5 days a week childminding to our local area all year round...
A Homely setting - A home away from home that allows children to develop and grow in a warm nurturing environment.
Essentials Included - Everything but the child...I provide breakfast, dinner, teas, nutritional snacks, nappies and wipes for every child.
Daytrips - Once a week the children will be little explorers on a trip to a variety of locations to enrich their development.
Personalised Learning - Each child is unique and their care should be too. This is achieved through tailored experiences, personalised learning and journal.
Within the setting there is a purpose built playroom with extensive resources that allow children to explore their imagination, be creative, build, read and explore their senses. Whether its baking, painting, drawing, playdough, building, role play, cooking in the home corner, small world, books, construction, animals, cars, puzzles or building a den, its all here at Muddy Puddles.
The garden is fully enclosed and offers the children to free flow from inside to outside through retractable bifold doors. Children will find a mud kitchen, a garden of herbs for sensory role play, ride on bikes, sand play, a water wall and a climbing frame.
