My name is Gretta Kostuch, I've been a registered childminder since May 2001. I am also in the Staffordshire Childminding Quality Partnership for the Cannock area. I have recently done my NVQ level 3 and I continue with on going courses. I live in Hednesford with my husband Adam and our three boys, Joshua, Oliver and William. Adam and I both have had DBS checks so have my two eldest boys, My youngest son still at school..

Having a circle of friends who are also registered childminders allows the children to interact and play with other children of a similar age and I also attend the local toddler group once a week. The children and I enjoy all aspects of art and craft.Parents witness their childs artistic talents at every possible opportunity, celebrating not only our own festivals we celebrate other cultural festivals (i.e. Chinese New Year and Diwali). I also encourage social skills such as sharing and showing kindness towards others as well as emphasising the need for the children to show free expression within their play.

Where I live in Hednesford is very close to Cannock Chase Where I often take the children on nature walks and picnics, there is also a very nice park near by where we visit a lot.   

The whole of my house and garden is registered. I work five days a week.
