Amanda Phillips - Sittingbourne Childminder
I am an 'Outstanding' Ofsted registered childminder, and also Quality Assured. I am able to offer the 15 hours government funded childcare for 3 and 4 year olds, aswell as the free for 2 scheme. My last inspection report with Ofsted was in October 2013, and my grading is Outstanding.
My Ofsted Report
I have a large living room and conservatory to be used as playrooms during minded hours which provides access to a large assortment of toys, books and resources. I have a safe and secure garden with slide, playhouse with toy kitchen inside, sand/water pit, and lots of bikes, scooters, hula hoops, balls etc.. I am lucky enough to live within close walking distance to 2 new play areas that we explore regularly throughout the week.
We reguarly visit the childrens centre in Milton for play sessions, library, country parks, cyclopark, soft play, and more, dependant on interests of the children and weather permitting.
I am open from 7am to 5.30pm however times may be negotiable outside of these. I am registered for overnight care for 2 children from 3months upwards.
I use a secure online system called Baby's Days that interacts with parents for daily diaries, photos, invoicing, and learning journeys so you can track your child's progress at any time for under 5's.
Aswell as being a mother myself, I have Experience in looking after children from 6 months to 11 years. I have been childminding for 4 years.
