Joanne Clark (Little Bookworm Childminding)

I am an OFSTED registered childminder based in Ingleby Barwick. I take children from 6 months up to 11 years.

I have a purpose built play room and large garden. I encourage the children to use the outside environment in their play where they have their own patch for growing seasonal plants and they can eat the produce they grow. The children make excellent progress within their development. I get great job satisfaction from watching children thrive in my setting.

Books are encouraged and we use our very own bookworm puppet called Bertie at storytime. Details on activities and pictures can be seen on my Facebook page Little Bookworm Childminding.

I received the 'Outstanding' grade during my most recent OFSTED inspection.

If you require afterschool for a child at nursery normal daily fees would apply as a space would be taken up for the full day and I am still required to follow the early years foundation scheme and monitor the child's development. From reception normal afterschool rates would apply .

Other notes

There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing how the children in my setting have flourished and how proud I have been to give them the stepping stone to make their transition to school life run smoothly. I started my business 8 years ago and have been very fortunate to still care for the same children from the age of 9 months who are now in reception.

I have my own children who are 27years, 18 years and 16years.
