About Me
Hi
Welcome to Little Wiz Kidz.
I am an Ofsted Registered accredited Childminder located in Leighton Buzzard. Graded GOOD in August 2022 and OUTSTANDING in August 2016.
I believe that every child is unique and should have the opportunity to be able to grow, develop and learn through play and creative ways. I therefore work within and follow the EYFS with the aim of encouraging your child to be school ready. My routine provides a variety of different adult and child lead activities, which allow for children to explore through their natural interests, as well as messy play, painting, drawing, reading, dressing up, role play, cooking, play-doh, gardening, lego blocks and art and crafts and many more. I also arrange regular educational outings to the park, farm, play centres, garden centres, scavenger hunts and play groups to help develop and encourage social and physical development.
My Experience
I have been childminding since 2014. Additionally I have two grown up children who I am extremely proud of.

Nunzia is an absolute gem of a child minder! From the moment I met her, I knew my child was in the most capable and caring hands. Her warmth and genuine affection for children are immediately evident, creating a nurturing environment where my little one thrived. Nunzia's attention to detail, creativity in activities, and dedication to each child's individual needs truly set her apart. She seamlessly balances fun and learning, ensuring that every moment is enriching and enjoyable. With Nunzia, I have complete peace of mind knowing my child is not only safe but also loved and stimulated. I cannot recommend Nunzia highly enough to any parent seeking exceptional care for their little one.

Thank you so much. It has been an absolute pleasure watching and supporting your beautiful little girl grow with huge confidence. She has changed so much and loved the memories we have made.
Nunzia looked after our daughter for almost two years, and in that time has become one of our daughter's most treasured friends. Nunzia has provided us with consistently exceptional childcare, always putting the unique needs of our daughter first. Every week is filled with a variety of activities and regular outings to broaden our daughter's experiences and knowledge.
We have always felt incredibly confident to leave our daughter in Nunzia's care, as she's so attentive to her well being. Nunzia's dedication to treating each child as an individual has helped us enourmously, especially at times when our daughter has needed some extra help to navigate new and challenging emotions and experiences. Nunzia has always taken a keen interest in our daughter's experiences, ensuring she understands what else is going on in her life that may be influencing her. Nunzia is always very willing to take extra time to discuss in detail how we can work together with her to help our daughter.
We are incredibly grateful for the support and care Nunzia has provided our daughter with. We would highly recommend Nunzia as a childminder as she's been instrumental in helping our daughter develop and us navigate some challenging aspects of parenthood. We firmly believe any child placed with Nunzia would thrive in preparation for school, becoming confident and well-rounded.
Thank you so much Nunzia, we'll be keeping in touch!

Oh gosh 🥹thank you so much. It has been an absolute pleasure watching your beautiful daughter grow and develop. Such a huge credit to you both.
I had the pleasure of Nunzia looking after Roman since October 2020 when he was 10 months old, and I cannot praise her enough. From the moment I met her, I felt reassured by her warm demeanor and evident professionalism. It was a daunting time going back to work, mid pandemic, but Nunzia made me feel at ease. Here are a few reasons why I highly recommend her:
Safe and Nurturing Environment: Nunzia creates a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment for children under her care. Roman always returned home happy and content, which speaks volumes about the positive atmosphere she cultivates.
Communication: Communication is key when it comes to childcare, and Nunzia excels in this aspect. She kept me updated on Roman’s daily activities, progress, and any concerns promptly and effectively. Knowing that I could easily reach her at any time provided great peace of mind.
Professionalism: Nunzia is highly professional in her approach to childcare. She maintains clear boundaries, adheres to schedules, and handles any issues with maturity and competence. It's evident that she takes her role seriously and genuinely cares about the well-being of the children in her care.
Educational Activities: I was impressed by the variety of educational and developmental activities Nunzia organised for the children. From creative arts and crafts to outdoor exploration, she ensures that each day is filled with enriching experiences that stimulate the children in her care. Roman is beyond his years with his development and this is a reflection of the hard work and patience Nunzia gives.
Flexibility: Nunzia demonstrates remarkable flexibility, accommodating changes in schedules or special requests with ease. This flexibility makes life easier for busy parents and ensures a smooth experience for both children and caregivers.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Nunzia to any parent seeking exceptional childcare. She not only provides a safe and loving environment but also fosters the growth and development of the children in her care. Roman was in a home from home and looked to Nunzia as part of his family. My experience with her has been nothing short of excellent, and I am truly grateful for the peace of mind she has given me as a working parent. Roman is a kind, loving and clever (now) 4 year old and this a credit to the Nunzia and her childcare setting.
Thank you for looking after and nurturing Roman as you have over the last 3.5 years!

🥹🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much for allowing me to look after Roman. A huge credit to you both and will miss him so much 🥹🥰❤️
I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided by Nunzia, our daughter Lilah's childminder for the past five months. As a first-time mother, entrusting my precious 8-month-old to someone else was an anxiety-inducing decision. However, Nunzia swiftly alleviated all concerns with her unwavering dedication and genuine compassion.
From the moment Lilah stepped into Nunzia's care, it was evident that she settled beautifully. Nunzia not only nurtured Lilah's physical well-being but also invested wholeheartedly in her emotional and developmental growth. Under Nunzia's attentive guidance, Lilah thrived, achieving remarkable milestones in such a short space of time.
What truly sets Nunzia apart is her personalized approach to childcare. She recognized Lilah as an individual, tailoring activities to her unique needs and interests while skillfully integrating her into a diverse group.. Additionally, Nunzia extended her support beyond Lilah, offering invaluable guidance to my husband and me as we navigated parenthood. Her commitment to understanding our family dynamics and values ensured a seamless integration of her care into our lives.
Nunzia's dedication to providing a nurturing environment extended to meal times, where Lilah enjoyed nutritious homemade meals. Each day, we were greeted with a happy and contented Lilah, a testament to Nunzia's exceptional care and attention to detail.
As Lilah transitions from Nunzia's care, her absence will be deeply felt she became a cherished support system for both Lilah and myself. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Nunzia to any parent considering childcare options. Entrusting your child to Nunzia's care will undoubtedly be one of the best decisions you make for their well-being and development, we will miss her very much.

I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to care for Lilah. I will miss her so much. ❤️❤️And is such a huge credit to you both.
Nunzia is just amazing!
My daughter started with her when she was 8 months old and has remained with her until she starts school (4 and half). As a first time mum, worried about leaving my daughter, Nunzia could not have made this easier. Her communication is brilliant and she has such a good understanding of children and child development.
Nunzia completely understands all the children she looks after and is incredibly child centred in her approach. She individualises everything to each child. Her skills and knowledge are amazing.
My daughter adores Nunzia and has progressed so much while being with her. They have different activities, days out and theme days which is amazing. She learns so much as well as social skills for being with other children.
I really cannot thank Nunzia enough for everything she has done for me and my daughter. She has been a huge part of these early years and helping her be ready for her next exciting adventure!
