My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Hilary Santini and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I have a spacious home in Beckenham with an enclosed garden. I have a large selection of both indoor and outdoor toys to provide the children with the best possible facilities to play and learn according the EYFS Framework and beyond. We do a lot of activites includiing art and crafts, music and movement, science and sensory. It is a priority for me that all the children in my care feel loved, valued, safe and secure.
I have a lovely setting which is bright, airy and safe.
I like to take the children to the local park and nearby toddler groups to widen their experience.

You won’t be disappointed with Hilary. We have so much praise, respect and appreciation for her and her staff. Our daughter stayed with Hilary from age 1 to 3, when we had to leave simply because we left the area. Hilary’s home and garden is welcoming, clean, safe and a happy environment. Our daughter has thrived at Hilary’s and made great friends there. Hilary’s setting has been a home away from home and our daughter has genuinely been loved and well cared for. Hilary provides home cooked meals and healthy snacks and has really helped support our daughter’s learning, development and confidence. We’re so happy we found Hilary and are sure you will be too.
