My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Villy and I am an Ofsted registered childminder working with one lovely and highly experienced assistant.
My childminding setting is called DoodleTots Childcare and I aim to provide a quality childminding service that exceeds the minimum standards required by Ofsted and that is tailored to your family needs. I was graded 'Good' by Ofsted at my third inspection in January 2023.
Childminding is more than just a job to me, I am passionate about providing every child in my care the opportunity to not only reach his or her full potential, but also to experience a warm, loving and home based environment.
I accept enquiries from parents with children aged from 3 months to 16 years of age.
I run my childminding business from my home in Enfield, in the London Borough of Enfield since Sept. 2013.
My Experience
...............................................................................
My Qualifications
Since September when I started as a childminder, I regularly attend courses to keep my Continuing Professional Development ( CPD). My own professional development is very important to me as I feel it is important to keep up to date with current academic thinking and changes in government policies.
I have a Level 4 in Child Care, DBS, CYPOP5, Level 3 Paediatric First Aid, Level 3 Food Hygiene qualification, Level 4 Safeguarding Advanced and I am a member of Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (Pacey).

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for DoodleTots Childcare. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Our daughter has just spent four wonderful years at Doodletots. Villy works tirelessly to ensure she provides and a varied and interesting cirruculam. She also uses the BabyDays apps so parents can monitor their child's progress, with lots of wonderful pictures.
For us Doodletots was the perfect combination of childminder and small nursery as there were children of different ages. Our daughter has made some lovely friends at Doodletots.
I think the fact there a number of siblings at Doodletots shows parents are very happy with Villy's provision. Our eldest son is at Doodletots, and we hope to send our youngest son too when he turns one.

I want to say from the bottom of my heart a massive thank you for all what you have done for my son over the last 4 years. Your hard work, dedication, love, support and attention to detail has not gone unmissed. You have helped him grow and develop more than I had ever expected.
As a Secondary school teacher I always lead with high expectations and Doodle tots have maintained this from the start when my son joined at 7 months to now, where he will be starting school. You made him feel comfortable from the start and was able to build on his confidence.
I have been able to monitor his progress over the years through your use of babydays, and this has allowed me to work on areas with Jacob, in a home setting.
My son has been able to flourish within your setting and I am forever greatful. I feel so lucky to have secured another spot for my next son who will be able to grow and develop just as much as Jacob has.
I would highly recommend doodle tots to anyone as I feel it is a 5 star setting.
Thank you!

Villy is one of the kindest people you can ever meet. My 8yr old daughter adores Villy so much. Villy is very kind, considerate, efficient and very passionate about her job. Very honest and doesn't charge unnecessary fees, a real pleasure to have you as our childminder. Continue with the hard work. God bless you!.
