About Me
Hi, I'm Brinda, nice to meet you!
As a mother of two (13 year old and 8 year old), I personally know the challenge faced when it comes to ensuring your children are looked after in a safe, secure and nurturing environment.
Combine with my years of experience in childcare, Woodway Kids offers a personalised service as each child is unique.
My years of experience as a childminder has enabled me to build lasting relationships with parents and families of the children I cared for.
Caring for children of different ages (0 yrs - 11 yrs) has allowed me to expand my knowledge of the very diverse stages of development, this experience enabled me to enhance my ability to care for each child individually, whilst also being vigilant of the needs of the groups as a whole. I have strong ethos towards my profession; making me committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment for the children in my care.
coming from a diverse background I am able to communicate in four different languages: English, French, Creole and Hindi. This affinity for languages has allowed me to support children from families where English is not their first language, e.g Polish and Greek.
I take the safety of the children extremely seriously. I am a Paediatric first-aider and am trained in CPR. I also regularly take part in both on-line and group forums regarding child development and nurturing, as to keep in touch with any changes or new methods that could be useful.
I look forward to hearing from you!
My Experience
After 13 years of working and caring for the elderly and those with learning disabilities, moving to childcare seemed like a natural next step; with a friend we created the successful Little Willows Childcare in Enfield, London.
As a working parent of two young children (12 years old & 8 years old) I have first hand experience of the challenges working parents face on a day to day basis, this enables me to deliver a service truly tailored to hectic family life.
Starting work from 7.30am to 6.30pm, Little Willows Childcare quickly became my second home.
As time went on I discovered and developed my ability and capability of understanding and working with children.
Being caring, understanding and compassionate throughout my career has helped me to teach and support the children in my care to reach their full potential. I encourage purposeful play, meaning the children learn through play. It is truly amazing how children are able to learn and pick things up so quickly. I am constantly creating activities that motivate and fully engage the children.
Having moved to Erdington in Birmingham, I have decided to go solo with Woodway Kids.
At Woodway Kids, we follow The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and encourage learning through play.
I tailor my care and teaching according to the each child's unique needs, through real life learning such as baking, shopping, gardening, outings, cooking and cleaning to name a few.
Woodway Kids offers unique, affordable and flexible childcare in a registered home-base setting. We're family friendly and siblings can be cared for together, regardless of age, stage or ability. We provide One to One care focusing on each child's individual requirements, learning and personality, this is rarely matched in centre based care where children are not usually seen as the individuals that they are.

My two children attended Woodway for over 2 years, they was in a nursery first and I took them out after a few weeks because I didn’t get a good feeling about the nursery and I am extremely fussy about who I trust with my precious babies. Brinda and her team was honestly the best people I could have ever found to trust with my babies. They loved them like their own children. My kids are very clingy to me but they happily skipped off to "Brinda’s house” every morning and even asked to go there on weekends. Brinda goes above and beyond for the children in her care. My daughter was quite challenging but Brinda showed her nothing but care, kindness and patience. The kids confidence grew massively with Brinda and they had so much fun every day. She serves lovely healthy meals and the kids always came home happy with full tummies. Bringing them there was the best thing I ever did and even when I moved from Erdington to another area over 40 minutes away I still chose to keep the children at Woodway because we loved it! I was so sad when we had to leave and start a new journey at school, if I had it my way I’d keep my children there forever where I knew they was safe, happy and loved. My kids still talk about Brinda and her team and family now and she has made such a big impact on their lives, she will be a friend for life and Woodway team will always have a very special place in my heart. Couldn’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done for us.
If you’re looking for a kind, caring, fun and thoughtful childminder then I promise Brinda is the one!

Brinda has been our childminder for over 4 years now, my son started when he was a few months old, we struggled to find the right person my son took to her straight away not like any other place we went. I was in between 2minds of childminder or nursery. I so glad we choose Woodway.
Brinda has exceeded all expectations, she treats each kid with the same love and care as she would her own, on the days they have been sick she cooked them all homemade soup with blankets each. We have had a few difficult moments with our son, Brinda has been involved through every stage offering support and care. They all are fed amazing, even if they may be picky with yourself they will eat good with Brinda. She’s just been a godsend!! .
My son is now in school, and still is asking to see her, I feel like they have such a strong bond to Woodway even after leaving.
The education - now my son is in school, he is so far advanced because of Woodway, that he is finding it all too easy. What he is now doing in school, the Woodway kids where doing from the age of 2 years old! Brinda deserves an outstanding rating, as there’s nothing that I can think of that she does not do with the kids.
We even had daily books on what they done, what he drank, what foods he eaten, toilet info ect.
The garden is big, the setting has everything and more, the staff are amazing, the food is fresh and the kids get involved with cooking, my son will cook with me every time. Day trips.
You are also updated of any concerns or achievements, with pictures. Milestone reports are updated regularly. Brinda is always happy to spend time to have you for a one to one if needed. It’s all you could want and more, looking at my friends nursery/childminders I can’t not stress enough how good woodway actually is 10/10.

My daughter loves going to Brinda’s.
She is a lovely woman that gets really involved in the kids education, health…
Brinda has helped me a lot as my daughter has learning disabilities.
The setting is a big place with a huge garden for the kids to enjoy.
Is not just a childminder that look after kids, she has her activities planed for the day and my daughter has learned a lot with them.
Also They are makaton trained which is really good for non verbal kids.
She also Cook’s all the meals, which are really healthy and nutritional.
I highly recommend Brindas setting.
