Amanda Jones (Childminder): Amanda's Little Acorns
A little about me. Well I live with my 2 young girls. I have years of childcare experience having worked as a self-employed childminder for over 10 years in total. I am kind hearted, caring, compassionate, fun, and appreciate every child for who they are. I am knowledgeable in working to the EYFS and Ofsted standards and have experience in caring for children up to the age of 12. I love working with children and have always built up a great rapport with both the children in my care and their parents/carers. I have experience working with children with Aspergers and more complex Autism. Spaces are available for full or part time care and school pick ups and drop offs to Summerfields Academy and pick ups from St John the Baptist School. I run a Holiday Club available at £20 per day for non-contracted children. A range of activities and outdoor play will be offered along with some trips out where possible. Snacks and drinks provided throughout the day and hot meal can be provided at lunchtime should this be required. Check out my facebook page.

Schools Extended Local Offer Response
- How do we offer support to children or young people with a special educational need or disability?
I undertake regular observations of children which will help to identify need and parents will always be given the opportunity to share their concerns.
specific Support will be dependent on need and discussed with parents/professionals
EYFS will be adapted to provide differentiation where required
Parents will be kept informed by showing information/observations/assessments and planning so that parents can support the interests and needs of the child and monitor progress.
Social and emotional support will be provided through offering opportunities, activities and experiences that support personal, social and emotional development.
- What specialist training, experience and expertise do we have relevant to children with special educational needs and disabilities?
Experience of children with autism and aspergers - Working closely offering 1-1 care. Signposting to other services outside the setting will be supported.
Autism Awareness

SENCO for Childminders
- How accessible is our setting?
I have small step down to front door. Step up at the back. Large garden. Currently only toilet facilities upstairs.
recources will be provided dependent on need and advice from professionals. Access to Treasure Box
Outings can usually be accomodated due to the small ratios of a childminder this is not usually a problem but risk assessments will be undertaken to support this.
