About Me

I am an Ofsted registered childminder and work with Patricia Fisher. We have both been given a grade 2 (Good) in our individual Ofsted inspections and are registered as each other’s assistants, taking equal responsibility for all children in our care.

The W3 bus running between Finsbury Park and Northumberland Park pass directly past our setting.

Both children and parents are made to feel welcomed and comfortable in our home. We offer a happy, stimulating and safe environment to encourage children’s development through play. Our resources include a vast amount of toys, books, puzzles, musical instruments, arts n craft equipment and tents to keep the little ones happy.

The children are taken to local parks, libraries or children centres daily. We visit Zoos, Children Farms, Museums or a Sea Life Centre at least once a year.

Best childminders we could have hoped for

5 stars

Our son has been with Pat and Garnett for about 8 months and they took such good care of him, he loved going there and we felt so happy to have found such great childminders to look after him. The only reason he is not still with them is because we moved away.
Pat and Garnett are both very friendly, reliable, caring, and very professional at all times. They listened to us and took into consideration our wishes, especially around the settling period, which made things so much easier for our boy to adapt. They always kept us informed and gave us updates on our son's day.
Pat and Garnett offered different experiences for the kids in their care, plenty of trips to parks, library etc., which our boy enjoyed a lot. We could not recommend them more, they are the best. Thank you, Pat and Garnett!

Amazing People, Superb Environment

5 stars

Pat and Garnett took outstanding care of our twin girls from March 2021 to December 2021. They were 17 months when they started. Pat and Garnett are really caring and loved our girls so much. The only reason they don’t look after them currently is due to the fact we moved from London to the south coast.
The girls grew up and blossomed during their time and we are incredibly grateful to Pat and Garnett for their development. Pat and Garnett are very chilled out, creating a very safe and relaxed environment, which we’re sure suited the girls personalities. They had birthday and Christmas parties, loads of arts and craft sessions, garden fun, walks in the park and many trips to the library. The girls loved their time there and I’m sure they miss them very much.

Are you looking for quality childcare? Stop searching, Pat and Garnett are what you need. They are professional, caring and trustworthy.
When my first child was born, I was worried who could I trust to look after my most precious thing while providing a safe and caring environment for her. But when I met Pat and Garnett, I just knew I had found the right people. Furthermore, they provide different areas within their home for the children: dining room, playroom, bedroom and a garden equipped with outdoor toys. They always keep the kids stimulated and entertained by either doing arts and crafts, storytelling, walks to the park, visits to the library or other. And every Christmas they organise a party which the children get super excited about.
Four years, Pat and Garnett have looked after my children, and I couldn’t be more grateful to them for how welcomed and loved they have made my children feel, and for creating a second home/family for them.
THANK YOU!

Thank you! - great, dedicated childminders.

5 stars

Our daughter was cared for by Garnett and Pat from one year old until she was three. We wanted her to be with childminders when she started in childcare because developing a trusting relationship with consistent and loving carers is essential for development, something which cannot be replicated in a nursery setting - no matter what you'll be told! Now at three, she is confident and ready to move on to nursery.

Our daughter arrived to Garnett and Pat with her own quirks... for the first while she would only sleep in one of their arms, which they supported, allowing her to settle at her own pace. Their setting felt homely and relaxed.

Garnett and Pat have provided great care. They are entirely reliable. They continued to work throughout the Covid-19 lockdown as I am a keyworker.

Now, our daughter chats away about things she did there and seems disappointed when it is us looking after her for the holidays rather than going to them!

I love Garnett and Pat

5 stars

I have been with Pat and Garnett for a very long time (7 years) and I love them. First they looked after me and then also my little sister. They make great food and take us fun places. They have a fun garden and they read lots of stories to us. I look forward to see them when my little brother starts going to their house when mummy starts going to work again. They are the best childminders EVER :)
Love from Lily & Ivy

Yes, just as my children have just mentioned Pat and Garnett are the best childminders you can find. I'm so happy that I chose them over 7 years ago. They girls were very upset when I told them that I would be looking after them now that I am on maternity leave, but luckily we live very close to them so the girls still see them often. I hope that there will be a space for my son when I finish my leave cos I can't imagine him not going to Garnett and Pat's like the girls did.
Garnett and Pat are a great team as they are obviously a man and a woman so the children get a bit of mum and dad while being away from home. They are very professional people with great values and I feel my girls have learned a lot from them over the years, with preparing for school, manners and social skills. I can only hope my son will be as lucky as my girls.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!

5 stars

My son has been with Garnett and Pat since he was 11 months old, he is now 5 years old and i have never been happier with the services they provide. Both Garnett and Pat are very friendly and they treat the children in their setting as their very own which gave me a peace of mind. My son gained his first basic knowledge from them, they take the children to the local library, parks etc. And they have also got a beautiful garden in their backyard which is well equipped with outdoor toys where children play in the summer. I would love for my second born (12 months at the moment) to join this same setting.

Quality care

5 stars

My daughter has been with Garnett and Pat for 3 years and they really are like family to her. From the moment I met them I knew they were the right careers.

They provide a genuinely warm and welcoming home, where all the children in their care are always so happy and content. There are plenty of exiting new toys and books for the children, the garden is very well equipped and inviting. They make regular visits to various parks, libraries and other play groups. A good range of food and snacks are served, my daughter always enjoyed her meals there.

Both Garnett and Pat are without a doubt a real find. They are professional, caring and always committed to the children and parents alike, absolutely highly recommend them. Thank you so much for everything!

The very best

5 stars

Garnett and Pat are the best childminders! They have looked after our daughter for just under 2 years from when she was a small baby. Unfortunately we had to move otherwise she would have continued up until school. They showed such great love and care and our daughter absolutely loves them. She has developed so much in their care and was always so excited to join Garnett and Pat in the mornings. Laila was looked after so well, she was always happy to be around them and so were we to go on with our day without having to worry. Their home is so lovely and very child friendly, they have amazing range of educational toys and books and always have great activities on for the children. We miss them dearly and would be happy to recommend Garnett and Pat to all of our friends and family and anyone else who is in need of great childcare for their children.

Award winning childminders

5 stars

First of all we have to say a massive "THANK YOU" to PAT and GARNETT. Our little one has been going for almost a year now and her development has been phenomenal, thanks to Pat and Garnett. They were our first pick and our only pick as their impression on us was exceptional.

Their home has been converted into an outstanding and top standard child play environment. They have routines that have a combination of going out and playing in, they paint and make pictures, celebrate particular events i.e. " mother's day" and have lots of fun dancing and excise with nursery rhymes and children's music. They illustrate to the children the multicultural society by having a variety of foods, have dress up sessions in cultural clothing and have music from difference parts of the world.

We feel happy to leave our child with them and don't hesitate about her well being. We know she is safe when she is with either of them and she will always be equally treated like the other children. The best thing is; they are only a couple of minutes away for home. Everyday is a mission for parents to take their child/ren home as the little ones don't want to leave and sometimes ends in tears.

Pat and Garnett are always open to new ideas or improvements but till this day I cannot think of any. Their service is truly amazing and they do a wonderful job. I am so thankful to have met Pat and Garnett and they have made a difference in our lives. We are proud to have had the opportunity to put our little one in their care. THANK YOU !

My son and daughter have been with Pat and Garnett for 18 months now. It is so difficult to find someone to trust with the care of your children and I struggled to find someone at first, and then I met Pat and Garnett (they were recommended).
From the moment I first met them, their warmth and shining personalities convinced me I had found the perfect place. Both Pat and Garnett genuinely love their job (which they take very seriously - this is not "something on the side" for them but a professional career) and the children in their care. My kids didn't have any problems settling in as they were so busy and excited from day one. They do everything from reading to outings, playing music, dressing up, crafts... They go out every day to parks, play groups, animal centres, activities, ... My children come home exhausted and full of stories of a fun day (and often don't eat dinner as they are so well fed by Pat and Garnet with homemade food, fruit, yoghurt etc). Both my kids could sing the whole alphabet song and count to 10 by age 2, and that is solely due to their time there!
I love dropping them off (and always stop for a quick chat about the kids) as I know they will have a good day and be safe, so I can do my work guilt free and with a calm mind. This couple is a golden one-off find.
