My Summary
About Me
My aim is to provide a safe, caring, stimulating and inclusive learning environment that will meet the needs of all children in my care. A home that will ignite children’s curiosity to learn and develop. I believe in working in collaboration with parents and implementing a daily routine with a child-centred approach that is tailored to the needs of each child, as each child is unique. I take pride in offering high quality childcare, constructing a creative, fun, educational and adventurous curriculum and I am a firm believer in offering only healthy meals to the children in my care. Children have the most creative imagination and their early years are fundamental in shaping and forming their characters, skill set, aspirations and future. Therefore, I offer care that will cater for their needs and encourage the children to build on their prior knowledge, develop and progress.
The setting is situated in a warm, child-safe, cul-de-sac family home that has a play and learning room, a quiet room for quiet time and is set up to cater for children’s naps. There is a garden with lots of play opportunities that will encourage their learning and progress. The house is surrounded by beautiful parks with plenty of scope for learning activities as well as extensive social learning resources such as soft play, forestry and activity areas.

Below are the latest reviews for Demi. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Demi is simply God-sent! Our children adore her and quite frankly so do we. Having never used a Childminder before (used private nursery), we were a bit anxious, but from our first meeting, Demi and her family made us feel comfortable and reassured. The level of care, learning and development activities she offers is outstanding. ‘Aunty Demi’s’ house is a home away from home and we would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.

Demi looks after our daughter before and after school for most of the week. We couldn’t be happier with her and the setting! Demi is so warm and friendly, her home is inviting and full of lovely toys for the children. Often when I come to collect my daughter she is playing dress up and in the middle of a lovely imaginative game!
Demi provides healthy breakfasts, snacks and dinners and knows what my daughter likes to eat. School drop offs are in good time and Demi is always waiting at the class door at home time.
Communication with Demi is easy and efficient and we love receiving pictures of what they have been up to! Our daughter is so comfortable with Demi, and we are so glad we found her!

Demi is an exceptional person and childminder. She cares for my son and he loves being there. She creates lots of fun activities and I as a parent get to be apart of it through the online diary that Demi provides. Photos, observations, daily diaries are posted on a daily basis which puts my mind at ease and I do not have to worry whilst being at work. Demi is loving and caring and will always greet us with a smile. I am very proud to see the progress he is making whilst being in Demi’s care. The meals she provides are healthy and nutritional. My son loves being there!

Demi is such a loving and caring person and she is passionate about her childminding and teaching.
My son is looked after by Demi and she provides a warm, welcoming environment with lots of fun and simulation. My son has a smile on his face every time when we drop him off.
We discussed my son’s routine/ weaning and Demi caters specifically for his needs. She cooks healthy meals and sends us the menus at the beginning of the week so we are aware of the ingredients. She organise different activities each week such as homemade paint, messy play, exploring music instruments and obstacle course etc. to help my son developing his motor and social skills. He really enjoyed the activities and his progress has been amazing. She keeps a detailed online learning journal which updates me what he is up to on the day. It is lovely to see the photos/ posts and it gives me a lot of reassurance. Everything she does is very professional and and I know my son is in good hands. As a mum herself Demi understands our concern as a parent and she has been incredibly caring and supportive.
We couldn’t have had a better childminder and we are so grateful to have known Demi.
