PAULINE KETTLE - Registered Childminder 

I passed my ICP (Introduction to Childminding Practice) and first aid training when I first became registered as a childminder. My first aid is renewed every three years and I recently passed my paediatric first aid course in September 08.  I am also currently studying the Diploma in Home Based Childcare which is an equivalent Level 3 qualification and have so far passed three of the four units with 2 Grade As and a Grade B.  I have attended various other training courses and a list of my certificates and qualifications can be found on the certificates and qualifications page of my website.  As with all training, it will help to raise my professional skills and quality of childcare whilst showing my commitment to continuing professional development.

I live with my husband, Mark, and daughter, Aimee, who was born in June 2003.  We live in a three bedroom detached house which has an enclosed garden full of wildlife.  We have two ducks, various fish, two terrapins and lots of frogs living in our enclosed safe pond area.  We also have a rabbit which is kept in the garden.  The outside play equipment consists of a sand/water table, see saw, small trampoline, slide, swingball, play house with role play appliances and utensils, a skipping station and lots of bats and balls to play various different games.  The grass area of my garden is laid with artificial grass giving an all year round playing surface for the children.  The separate dining room is used as a craft room aswell as where the children eat.  My large lounge is used as a playroom where a rotation of toys are available for play.

I personally enjoy cooking, aerobics and running.  I run Race for Life in aid of Cancer Research ever year.

I had my OFSTED inspection in November 2007 and obtained an overall Good grade. My Ofsted report can be viewed upon request.
