My Summary
Home-Based Montessori
About Me
We warmly welcome you to DD's Childcare, a home-based Montessori setting where love, learning, and laughter flourish.
I'm Donnell, and my partner is Hannah. With over a decade of combined experience in the childcare industry, we are thrilled to open our own setting! My passion for childcare ignited when I became an uncle at just 11 years old. This early experience revealed my natural ability to care for children and earned me the affectionate nickname "Uncle DD" from many little ones. Hannah, with her rich background as a primary school teacher and nursery assistant for the past five years, shares this deep dedication. Together, we are committed to providing loving, attentive, and expert care to every child we have the privilege of looking after.
At DD's Childcare, you can expect a well-structured weekly plan, balanced healthy meals, and a nurturing environment filled with friendly staff. Our activities are based on the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. We take weekly trips to the local library to foster a love for reading, and bi-weekly outings to parks, and open spaces for exploration and play.
We are passionate about language integration, giving your children an extra boost in their development. I have learned Spanish and Portuguese to proficient fluency levels and am currently furthering my knowledge in British Sign Language (BSL) alongside Hannah. Our curriculum heavily incorporates both Spanish and BSL, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity and supporting additional needs.
Our setting is operated out of a three-bedroom house with plans for an extended ground floor, conservatory, and outhouse dedicated to childminding. Our spacious outdoor area features a wide range of resources and garden toys designed for children aged 0 to 4 years. We are located near a beautiful nature reserve perfect for activities and walks, and conveniently close to multiple amenities, including pharmacies, a gym, and a library. For further educational development, there are local pre-schools, primary schools, and secondary schools in the vicinity.
We are just a six-minute walk from Grove Park Station and a short walk from several bus routes (126, 261, 638, 284, 136, 124, 181).
Join us at DD's Childcare, where your child's growth, happiness, and well-being are our top priorities.
