Jools, Toni and Julie are all members of the N.C.M.A. and Child Care Matters (Humber) Ltd, of which Jools is now the Chair on the Board of Directors. We have co-ordinaters who are there for support, and to help parents marry up with childminders.
Our setting is expanding and we will have a larger outdoor space and new toilet storage facilities very soon. We are upgrading the kitchen area too. all being well.
We have a strictly no smacking or any type of punishment policy. The children are never shouted at only told by explanation. They are given boundaries and consistency, and also learn by example how to behave. We have our own policies of which parents/carers receive a copy, some of which can be seen here. We have our own contracts and parents are given all the relevant forms to fill in i.e. consent forms and info sheets. A prospectus is also available if you would like one.
Parents are welcome to phone or call at any time while their child is at Tiny ToTs Childminders. We have a very good security system, a camera to see who callers are and an intercom so we know who is at the door before we open it.
We also have a webcam for parents to access when their child is at Tiny ToTs. Parents have to answer 2 security questions before they are allowed on the system, and this is available all day for parents/carers wishing to use it.
Each child also has their own file of crafts, assessments, learning journeys etc. Also each baby up to 3 years has a diary. Each child has a scrap book of their own too. They get to keep these when they are full. Each parent gets to keep discs of photos of their child.
We also send photos for mums of new babies/ children via phone picture message to reassure mums/ dads visually.
We also run a six monthly newsletter updating parents on our progress with the children and any forthcoming events in our calendar etc.
