My Summary
About Me
Bonjour et Bienvenue à tous.
Only 1 space left from September 2025.
My name is Kristel.
I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Sandhurst (close to Tesco Extra). I am DBS checked( enhanced), Mom of 3 gorgeous children 13, 10, and 7. I am multilingual, and so are my children( French as first language), and we live in a 3 bedroom smoke/pet free house consisting of a big playroom and garden. I have a selection of educational toys, puzzles, and building blocks. I really like being outdoors. Therefore, I take the children out regularly to playgroups, for walks in the woods, to feed the ducks/swans, and soft play at Camberley Leisure Centre and playground. We also have a little picnic in the garden when the weather is nice. I absolutely love cooking/baking cakes and getting the children involved. At my setting, children are encouraged to have healthy snacks, i.e., lots of fruits and veggies, throughout the day! The children I look after are treated equally regardless of their beliefs, backgrounds, and faiths. I like the idea of different cultures coming together, and I absolutely love celebrating similarities and differences in people. At my setting, we celebrate Easter, Diwali, Chinese New Year, Christmas...I want the children to feel at home whilst in my care and you can rest assured that your precious ones will be treated as my own. The children I care for are like family! I think that learning a second language from a young age is important. I teach my children French, and I would love to teach your child too. I use French at my setting to teach the children colours, numbers, body parts, etc.. I know how hard it is to find the right person to look after your most precious possessions, so if you want your child to be part of a loving family, please get in touch.

We are absolutely thrilled with the care Krystel has provided for our daughter. From the very beginning, she has developed a truly special relationship with both us and our little one, creating an environment that feels like a second home.
Her dedication to child development is remarkable. She goes above and beyond to support our daughter’s growth, consistently finding new ways to engage and inspire her. Whether it’s through fun learning activities or exciting outings, she ensures that every day is filled with opportunities for exploration and discovery.
The environment she has created is not only safe but incredibly nurturing. It’s clear that she values the trust placed in her and works tirelessly to maintain a space where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
On top of all this, she is a genuinely wonderful person—kind, caring, attentive, and honest. Knowing her has been an absolute joy, and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives. We couldn’t ask for a better childminder for our daughter and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their child.

We are so grateful to have found Kristel to care for our baby. We have noticed such a positive change in him since he's been in her care; he's happier, more content, and is sleeping amazingly every night. He has come on leaps and bounds with his development which I know is heavily influenced by her! Kristel is caring and attentive and I feel relief knowing my little one has a nurturing figure whilst we are away at work...she once said to me that children thrive when they feel loved and it is certainly true! Myself and my partner would highly, highly recommend Kristel as a childminder to anyone looking, coming from people who appreciate this is such an important decision...

Our daughter has loved being with Kristel for the last 18 months. We will be very sad to see her go. She is a lovely caring person and we were so grateful to have found her for our toddler.
