My name is Hayley and I am located in Armadale, West Lothian. I live with my husband, Jamie, our Son, Riley, born July 2010, and Daughter Aria, born December 2013. We have a mid-terraced house with large enclosed rear garden which provides lots of fun for outside play. Within the garden we have an 8ft trampoline (with safety nets) and a raised wooden playhouse. I became a registered childminder in January 2013 as I wanted to use my childcare experience and work with children.
We also have a large outdoor allotment for the children to plant, grow and eventually pick their own vegetables from. As you can probably guess, we like our children to keep busy, and subject to the Scottish weather, occupied with many outdoor activities. Food is very important to us and plays a huge part of daily life in our nursery. It's essential that the children's food is made from wholesome and nutritious ingredients.
My CV is in the download area of the website but to give you a quick overview I have an undergraduate degree in psychology from St Andrews university and a postgraduate in Educational research. I was also volunteer befriender at an Edinburgh guest house for adults and children with special needs. This involved working one-to-one with the children, helping them with personal care and taking the guests on outings around Edinburgh.
I offer a home-from-home childminding service for children aged 3 months to 5 years from my happy home in Clermiston. Children in my care can expect a warm welcome, a friendly atmosphere and a stimulating, fun and rewarding time with varied activities to fuel their imaginations. Parents can expect a professional, diligent and courteous childminder with all the relevant policies in place. Many thanks for visiting my site, if you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me.
