Karen Edwards

Childminder based in Normanby - TS6 0QW
How it can help

I am an Ofsted registered childminder who has over 19 years of experience of working with children and families in social care. I live in the Normanby area with my partner (who is registered as my assistant) and two of my three children, along with two pet birds.

I have NVQ Level 3 qualifications in Caring for Children and Young People and Childcare Home Practitioner. I hold Safeguarding and Food Safety qualifications and both my partner and I are Paediatric First Aid trained.

During my years of employment in family support, I have covered lots of additional training and gained qualifications in Infant Massage, Family Links (parenting course), Mellow Parenting, the Freedom Programme and many more. I also gained lots of knowledge around safeguarding and supporting children’s development.

I have a lovely home in a quiet area with a playroom and a very large back garden, with lots of space for children to play safely outdoors. Alongside this, we access local playgroups, parks, beaches and woodland areas to enhance the children’s learning.

I offer the children nutritionally cooked meals and snacks and work on their development following the EYFS framework.
