Our names are Amanda and Kevin Stevens and we have been married for sixteen years and we live with our two daughters Bernadette 14 and Georgina 11.

 

We are registered for six children under eight years. Amanda has been registered for 11 years and Kevin for 3. Separately we both gained a “good” grading in our last  OFSTED inspections and are both NVQ CCLD level 3 qualified.

 

 We live in a four bed roomed house with a good sized garden. Both inside and outside are equipped with lots of different toys for different ages. We also do activities with the children, which are planned with the children's likes and developmental needs in mind, such as colouring, junk modelling, painting, games, singing etc.

 

We take our responsibilities very seriously and have always been very keen to take any steps which we feel will increase our effectiveness as  Registered Childminders and improve the service we provide. We have, and will continue to, undertake a series of training courses and both just completed our NVQ. We have a regular inspection by OFSTED and both  have had police, social security and health checks. 

 

 Your child would be cared for in a home-like environment within a family atmosphere. They would receive a lot of individual attention whilst enjoying interaction with other pre-school children. We attend regular sessions at Childminder drop-ins, story time at the library and go on visits to the park, shops and play centres.

 

We belong to the national, county and local childminding associations and  a Childminding Internet Forum. Last year Amanda also became a volunteer as a Support Childminder for new childminders working for the Early Years Department at Gloucestershire County Council.
