I have completed the childminder course and am a qualified childminder. I have also finished all the mandatory training including QNUK level 3 in Paediatric First Aid and Food Hygiene, all relevant childminding training, Designated Safeguarding Lead training and Home Based Childcare award. I have also completed the course Promoting Positive Behaviour, Supporting Early Language Development, Understanding Anaphylaxis and Understanding Asthma.
I am a happy, patient, tolerant resilient and active mother of two children (13 and 11).
I provide a fun, active, and relaxed atmosphere where children interact and improve their learning through play. Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child's soul. The playing child advances towards new stages of mastery.
I operate a multilingual setting to support Early Language Development in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Malay. Scientists from King's College, London found that the brain scans looked at a substance called 'myelin'- the insulation that develops from birth within the circuitry of the brain and found out that the distribution of myelin is fixed from the age of four, suggesting that the brain is more flexible and open to change in very early life. Brain circuitry would also explain why supporting children as they become bilingual is most effective when they are very young.
The early years are the prime for children to learn and grow under the encouragement of their family, carers, and friends. The types of brain development in children include visual and auditing development, language development, physical and motor development emotional and social development. Alice's Childminding provides a homely safe environment with constant attention. More adult attention is seen to impact a child's childhood, creativity, confidence, independence, and self-esteem.
I will regularly attend a local playgroup/ childminder group, library, a nearby playground/park and the beach. I offer a large variety of activities and help with homework if needed.
I will use various materials which reflect different religious and cultural needs to support British Values.
Healthy eating is crucial for children's development. I provide homemade healthy food, fruits, and snacks for all children and follow the guidance of the Food Standard Agency.
I was an experienced primary teacher teaching Maths and Art in Malaysia. I worked in a Nursery for a year in London. I'm currently a teacher at Newcastle Chinese School for 5-6 year olds. I have experience working with children with Autism.
