Jacqueline White, Jarrow, South Tyneside

I live in Jarrow with my husband and two children - daughter born in 1991, and a son born in 1995.
We live in a terraced house near the centre of jarrow, with a menagerie of animals:
Dizzy the Degu
Toffee the Rabbit
Tuppence the Cat
Spud and Wendy the Ornatus Uromastyx
Sponge and Treacle the Leopard Geckos
Tropical Aquarium
I think there's room for us to live there, too - and the little ones love to watch the daily ventures. I have noticed that the menagerie can help settle a child, too!
We are an extended family which enables younger children to have older "siblings" to call upon, and the older children enjoy 'helping' the younger onees to settle.
I have recently had my Ofsted Inspection and gained an "Outstanding" Grade

I have been a Registered Childminder since 1999, and in that time I have seen a lot of changes - none more so than the Early Years Foundation Stage, which has seen us become more accepted as the professionals we are. 
I have cared for children from 5 months to 12 years, and have found each age to be as rewarding as the next. With experience, I have learned to identify individual needs for the children in my care - working with parents to gain a referral - parents know their child better than anyone.
As the ex-Chair of Governors (and a parent) for Clervaux Nursery School, I have an awareness of the High/Scope Approach to childrens learning, which I have also followed up by attending High/Scope for Childminders. I am currently Parent / Governor at Hebburn Comprehensive School.
I attend training on a regular basis, and am constantly requesting new / varied training.
I am also working with the local College to provide a placement for students

I hold a Paediatric First Aid Certificate, and Food Hygiene (also registered with Environmental Health as a food business).
I have also gained:
the Open University's Certificate in Early Years (Level 4)
the Open University's Introduction to Counselling
the Open University's Understanding the Autism Spectrum
Diploma in Home-based Childcare (Level 3 - Grade A)
NVQ 3 in Child Care, Learning, and Development
N.C.M.A.'s Quality First (Level 3)

Other training I have attended, over the years, amounts to over 70 certificates (ask if you would like to see them) - too many to list here!!!

I am also working towards my Degree in Early Years.
