My Summary
Gold Member - Contactable For Free. Specialising In Children Under 3 Years Old.
About Me
I provide the Early Years Working Funded Entitlement.
I am a Ofsted registered Childminder. I am based in Hersham, near the train station.
My aim is to give parents high quality childcare and peace of mind that their child is being cared for in a safe, loving and fun setting.
A home from home environment, where they are nurtured and stimulated, so they can grow to their full potential, somewhere they can learn through play, experience new ideas and develop their own individuality, independence and self-confidence, under my guidance.
We enjoy regular adventures, walks, parks, soft play, library and time to play.
My Experience
I have been Childminding since September 2009, and I have worked very hard to make sure that my home is the ideal setting, for children to learn through play. I have experience in all ages, newborn to teens.
I have a wealth of toys and learning resources and all activities are planned for the individual child, to ensure they cover all the learning areas needed for a good foundation in the early years stages.

Pippa has looked after our little boy since he was 1 and I couldn’t recommend her more. She has really nurtured him and is always caring about his wellbeing and development. She gives advise in a non patronising way using her experience and expertise.
She is also very nice to get along with as an adult collecting and dropping off their child everyday! We always have a nice chat.
I had met a few before I chose Pippa for him and I knew she was the right choice, she is very bubbly and playful and that’s what I wanted for someone around my child.
We have to leave her purely because we are moving out of the area but I am gutted to take him out of her care and think she is an amazing childminder!
I am very glad he got to spend a year with her ☺️

Our son went to Pippa from a young age and he has absolutely loved being looked after by her. He was always happy and excited to be spending the day with her and loves seeing all his friends there. Pippa have provided a very caring, supportive and fun home-from-home environment in which our son has thrived. Her communication has always been excellent, with both children and parents, the children have a wide variety of activities during the day including plenty of time outside. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for top quality, reliable, caring childminding in the Hersham/Walton on Thames area.

Pippa has looked after our youngest daughter since she was 10 months and she is now going off to preschool a confident, competent and happy 3 year old.
Pippa’s home is extremely clean and tidy and she has lots of toys inside and in the garden. The children are always getting busy with craft activities which they bring home with them.
Pippa regularly takes the children out on trips in the local area and has given our daughter a great experience having fun in the outdoors. She is great at sending photos of the children and what they are doing.
We are really glad we chose Pippa to look after our daughter and I’m sure we will stay in touch!

Our son has been going at Pippa’s for about 3 years and she has definitely become an extension of our family.
Days at Pippa are really structured with a mix of learning, outdoor play, indoor play and external playgroups. Pippa’s home is well organised and she has a large garden filled with engaging toys and activities for the children she looks after.
What we value most is that Pippa is genuinely interested in the children’s well being and has taught our son to get the necessary skills to develop and grow more independent. She is also great in keeping us updated, sending us photos during the day.
I can’t recommend her highly enough and will definitely get Pippa to take care of our second one when the time comes!

Our little girl was with Pippa for over 2 years and absolutely thrived in her setting and care. Pippa is open, honest and provides great structure day to day. Really good at communicating and keeping us updated on progress and development. I really felt our daughter gained a lot of independence from Pippa and she loved being in her home. Had it not been for us moving home I would have loved for Pippa to look after our youngest.
