Sue Ridley

Sue's Home Childcare

My name is Sue Ridley. I am a registered Childminder working from home in Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, south Manchester.

I have been a registered Childminder since 1999. I live with my husband and my 26 year old Daughter. I have 3 beautiful, well behaved Cavalier King Charles Spaniels who are crate trained. The property is situated in a residential area, close to local amenities. This helps me enhance my provision, giving children opportunities to explore the world around them. All of the ground floor is used for childminding.
I have a designated playroom, where children have easy access to a large range of resources. There is a quiet room, large Kitchen, downstairs washroom/toilet and a large secure child friendly garden. The open plan kitchen is used for meals, snack time and arts and crafts........... Children are monitored during sleep time. There are small steps to the front and rear of the property which could be easily adapted for children with a disability. My setting is currently open from 8:00am -17:30pm.
I care for children all year round and do local school pickups to the local school called Brookburn Primary School.   I regularly keep up to date with training and further development to improve the quality of care I provide.
I have a Level 3 qualification  in Children's Care Learning and development.

  • I provide a warm welcoming, inclusive environment in which children feel safe and secure.
  • I provide a vast range of activities indoors, outside and within the local community.
  • I do themed activities expanded from Children's interests.
  • I encourage parents to contribute and share their ideas to support individual children's needs and interests.
  • Resources are easy accessible to support children through the Early Years Foundation Stage and beyond.
  • Children enjoy taking home Travelling Bears.

The Early Years Foundation Stage Supports children's learning in:

Prime Areas:

  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
  • Physical Development
  • Communication and Language

Specific Areas:

  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Arts and Desig

I provide Healthy nutritious meals & snacks working with Parents/Carers to provide any special dietary needs or preferences. 

  • I set reasonable and appropriate limits to help prevent negative behaviour in my setting. Working closely with Parents/Carers.
  • I focus on positive behaviour management. This is listed in my policies and procedures.
  • I always maintain privacy and confidentiality. The only exception would be in a medical emergency or for Safeguarding issues, where I would consult with the appropriate Professionals.

I am a member of PACEY the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years.

 

I will continue to follow the Government guidelines for Covid-19 and Policies and Procedures are in place
