Brenda Klein
I am registered childminder of 16 years, with Ofsted rating Good, who looks after children of all ages, including young babies as well as children with special educational needs.
In 2004 I decided to become an Ofsted registered childminder and launched Brenda Klein’s Childminding Services from my home in Gidea Park. The reason behind starting up my own childcare services was for my only child; I wanted my daughter to be surrounded by children of her own age whilst growing up… and this is where my career in childcare blossomed.
I have cared for children for over a decade and they never fail to amaze me – from every age group, their mindset and ideas have surprised me every day since I started this journey. I am a very patient person.
I have CACHE Level 3 in Childminding and standard GCSE. I am paediatric first aid trained, current enhanced DBS check and I am on the update service. I have completed safeguarding children courses, special educational need training child protection course. I have passed my prevent duty course and have my food and hygiene completed and updated yearly. I have public liability insurance, employer’s liability insurance and home insurance in place. As well, all of my staff are have completed a DBS check and are all on the update service.
