Janet Drake

I am an OFSTED registered childminder with over 27 years experience, based in Ingleby Barwick. I provide a nurturing, trusting and safe environment which is pet and smoke free. I provide indoor and outdoor play activities that meet individual children's needs and includes a spacious, purpose built playroom which is well equipped and a large secure garden which is accessible all year with a wide variety of equipment to meet each child's needs. I follow EYFS framework, cover 7 areas of learning and work with parents and carers to enhance each child's learning and development. The children in my care develop self-confidence, independence and good social skills showing readiness for the next stage in their learning and eventual move to school. I regularly attend professional development courses to improve my own setting and development. I offer funded places for 2, 3 and 4-year-olds. I received the 'Good' grade from OFSTED on my most recent inspection.
