My Summary
About Me
We are a Mum and Daughter who are both working together, Ofsted registered. We provide day care services for children aged 0-8 years. We have a loving family home from home setting with lots of resources available. Our location is in New Addington and situated in front of some lovely woodlands which we take full advantage of - Lots of walks through the woods and activities which we believe is the best way for any child to learn and develop by exploring the natural world around them whilst getting mucky and having maximum fun!!
We have 2 spaces left Monday-Thursday 8/9am-4-5pm. Please get in touch if you’re looking for a space, you’re more than welcome to come for a visit.
My Experience
As a pair we have lots of childcare experience and are often out and about with our nieces and nephews taking walks through the woods, to parks and just having fun.
We have been childminding assistants for many years with our cousin/neice who is also a registered childminder.

Buddy’s childcare is a hidden gem in New Addington. I couldn’t be more pleased with the home set up. It’s a playground with lots of toys and an open safeguarded garden. It’s always clean and they organize lots of activities weekly e.g arts and craft, forest walks, farm and soft play trips. My daughter who is 2 and half runs up to their front door each time, she settled in very quick at the beginning. Again I am a very happy Mum and they are fully supportive and flexible ☺️
