Pamela Williams
My name is Pamela (Pam) Williams, I live with my husband Simon and our two children.
I have been a registered child minder since June 2008. I have always enjoyed working with children. While living in America I obtained a degree in child development and worked at a pre-school for three years. I have cared for ages ranging from 7 months to 9 years.
During term time I try and involve the children in the community through various activities. Each week I try and attend two toddler groups, we drop in to special events that are provided by sure start, go to the library, shops andI spend time with other childminders and the children they care for, I believe this is important as it helps the children with their social skills. Other activities include going to the park, playing games, arts and crafts and gardening. There are a variety of activities available for the children to have free choice. Having free choice is very important to a child’s learning process.
During holiday times we are a bit more flexible with time and we organize trips out to farms, parks for picnics, conkers, nature reserves and other places.
I provide meals and snacks where needed, I am willing to be flexible to any dietary requirements. I aim to provide healthy snacks which consist of fruit, savoury and sweet snacks. Milk, juice and water are available throughout the day. Children are encouraged to help with the making and choosing of the snacks.
The fees are £3.50 per hour and payments can be made weekly or monthly, I also accept childcare vouchers.
