Cheryl Fenech-Soler (Home From Home Childminding)

My name is Cheryl and I run Home from Home childminding. I offer a warm, safe and friendly home from home environment for your children to develop and grow. All children have full use of the ground floor areas of the house and a large fully enclosed garden with no overlooking houses and a separate playroom full of age appropriate toys.

I have been a childminder for five years and have looked after children of all ages. I have cache level 2 and 3 early years educator qualifications.  I am currently studying to be a Child and Adolescents Psychotherapist.

I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and I incorporate learning and development as part of my care. All my activities are age appropriate to aid your child develop at their own pace. I incorporate special activities related to festivals, celebrations, holidays and the current season within the main learning areas.

I am a Forest Childcare Provider and I believe that spending time outdoors is very important. The children go outdoors here every day, at least once a day, no matter what the weather because I believe that fresh air and wide open spaces are good for them.  I have a fully enclosed back garden that the children can access whenever they want. We also live near to lovely parks, woodland areas and nature reserves and we visit one of these places at least once a week.

As a mother myself I understand the pressures of working parents and requirements for childcare which is why I have adopted a flexible approach to childcare.
