CARESSKIDS ~ Vanessa Sevok
Hi, I'm Vanessa and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I live with my husband, daughters and two pet dogs. My pets are friendly, clean and upto date on their vaccines and live outdoors in their kennel.I provide a healthy,clean, safe,enjoyable and full of fun-filled activities for your little ones to enjoy in a way so that their little busy bodies and minds are engaged in learning through play. I look after all the children in my care as my own and I make sure all their indiviual needs are met. I do provide meals snacks and drinks. I also provide after school care for children from Christ the King School. My latest Ofsted report was a MET, when I did not have any children on board,as I was on extended maternity leave with an open registration hence missed updating my first aid certicate. If you read through my report there is nothing drastically displeasing about me. Please feel free to contact me for any further information.
This setting has signed up to offer Tax Free Childcare.

I live in a family home, with my husband and children. We have two pet dogs who are up to date on their vaccines and are friendly in nature. I provide children with a home like environment, clean and safe surrounding, home cooked meals and side by side cater to each and every child's educational and personal needs whilst keeping fun the core of everything.

Where ever possible I am keen to make arrangements to cater for children with special needs to the best of my ability.
1: How does the setting identify children with additional needs or SEND?
I follow the EYFS guidelines, where it tells me where a child is suppose to be at age wise. If do find a child has not met his or her targets I will have a chat with parents and contact appropriate support groups.
