About Me

Hello,

 

My name is Magdalena and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I live with my partner and our 17 year old daughter.

 

My setting is situated in a quiet residential area of Baffins, surrounded by Baffins Pond, Great Salterns, Milton Common, Tamworth Park and the shoreline. The area’s  green and blue spaces provide opportunities for outdoor play, exploration, and sensory experiences, fostering a connection with the natural world.

 

The early years of a child's life are the most important and with these values in mind I aim to provide:

 

A personal approach to consider your child's individual needs, interests and their stages of development to plan a challenging and enjoyable experience across all aspects of your child's development.

 

A process of ongoing assessment to inform you of your child's daily activities and to provide a structured pathway for future experiences, as well as fostering a good working partnership for the benefit of your child.

 

A wide variety of indoor and outdoor play experiences to promote and develop your child' social, emotional and intellectual skills.
