Ben Moorman-Fuzi Childminding - Health, Happiness, And Education.
About Me
Hello, and Welcome!
I'm Ben, a dedicated and fully OFSTED Registered Childminder, and a father to a wonderful four-year-old daughter. Thank you for considering me to partner in your child's early years journey.
My commitment is to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. With over a decade of experience working with various age groups, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to childminding. My approach is deeply strengthened by my own experience as a parent, ensuring every child is treated with the empathy, patience, and love I want for my daughter.
We are a very outdoor-orientated family. Our setting is surrounded by a local park, fields, farms, and woodland, which is home to a local deer herd. We integrate nature and exploration into our daily routine, encouraging a love for the world around us.
Education and holistic development are at the heart of my practice. I hold a Bachelor's Degree, a Master's Degree, and a Master of Letters (MLitt) degree from the Universities of Bath Spa and Bristol, reflecting my deep commitment to excellence in early years provision.
To ensure high-quality care and learning, I have developed a structured and engaging curriculum of 31 unique lessons. These are taught under the umbrella of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, covering all key areas:
PSED (Psychology, Sociology, Healthcare)
Communication & Language (English, foreign languages)
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World (Geography, History, Science)
Expressive Arts (Craft, Music, Drama)
Physical Development
I hold up-to-date qualifications, including Paediatric First Aid certification and a Childminding in the Community (ChiC) Certificate.
Watching children discover the world, master new skills, and grow in confidence is the most rewarding part of this profession. I look forward to the possibility of welcoming your child into a caring and vibrant setting!
My Experience
With over a decade (10+ years) dedicated to working with children across various settings, I possess a comprehensive understanding of early years development and diverse family needs.
As a fully OFSTED Registered Childminder, I specialise in providing personalised, small-group care that truly feels like a home extension. This setting allows me to focus intently on each child's individual personality, learning pace, and unique needs, ensuring they feel secure, valued, and ready to explore.
My practical experience is enhanced by a structured approach to learning:
Curriculum Development: I have developed and implemented a proprietary curriculum of 31 structured lessons, all delivered within the framework of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This ensures active learning and progression across all seven areas of development.
Age Expertise: I have significant experience nurturing children from infancy right through to school age. A core focus is successfully preparing children for the transition into primary education with confidence and strong foundational skills.
A key part of my long-standing experience involves building open and trusting relationships with parents. I believe in working as a team, offering regular updates and discussions on your child's milestones, progress, and daily activities to ensure consistency between our setting and your home.
My extensive, hands-on experience, coupled with my commitment to academic excellence, aims to provide a high-quality, nurturing, and developmentally rich environment for every child entrusted to my care.
My Qualifications
My commitment to providing the highest standard of early years care is underpinned by robust professional training and academic achievement.
My educational foundation allows me to bring a deep, theoretical understanding of child development and pedagogy into my daily practice:
Master of Letters (MLitt) Degree: University of Bristol
Master's Degree: University of Bristol
Bachelor’s Degree (BA Hons): Bath Spa University
Safety, compliance, and ongoing professional development are paramount. I ensure all mandatory requirements are maintained and exceeded:
OFSTED Registered: Fully compliant with all standards for the Early Years Register. My registration guarantees that my setting, care practices, and suitability checks meet all required standards.
Paediatric First Aid Certified: I hold a current, comprehensive certification, ensuring I am equipped to handle any emergency with competence and confidence.
Childminding in the Community (ChiC) Certificate: Specialised training focused on running a successful, safe, and engaging childminding business within the community framework.
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Expertise
I have practical expertise in structuring care and learning around the mandated national framework:
EYFS Implementation: I implement the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which guides the quality of teaching and learning in my setting. My 31-lesson curriculum is specifically designed to meet and track progress across all seven areas of EYFS learning.
These qualifications combine with my dedication to providing a safe, compliant, and academically enriching environment where children can truly thrive.

Our son started with Ben around 4 months ago - his development has been amazing, particularly his speech & language since starting. We really like the activities the children do, such as going on regular nature walks. He already talks about the friends he’s met there which is lovely. Ben is very professional, kind & caring. Communication is great, Ben provides us with regular updates on the day & we receive weekly progress reports too. It is also a bonus that Ben speaks other languages so my son is also getting the benefit of learning new languages there too. Would definitely recommend Ben if you are looking for a childminder ☺️

We cannot recommend Ben enough- our daughter has just done her first month under Bens care and she has developed wonderfully in this time- we can’t get over how much her speech has improved. She’s usually very unsettled at drop offs even at family members houses but she is so happy to see him- in fact she only cries when she has to leave Ben to come back to her parents :)
We are honestly so grateful that we found Ben, he's upbeat, he’s patient, so knowledgeable and just a very very lovely guy.
We get updates throughout the day on how she’s getting on which has been great to know what a lovely day she’s having.
If you’re looking for an incredible childminder look no further.

My 18 month old son has been going to Ben since December & the difference it has made to his development is unbelievable. Every day is a mixture of educational lessons such as language, maths, textiles, science, walks and outdoor time, fun and games, all food is super healthy, high quality, and lots of fruit & veg. His house is super clean & a lovely rural location in Pucklechurch near to a farm, but also easy to get to from the ring road. I am regularly updated and my once clingy 18 month old who struggled to settle-in at nursery after 4 months, is happy to be left with Ben and spends a fun packed and educational day with his new friends. I can't recommend Ben enough, its been a game changer for my little one and his happiness.
