About Me

I am an OFSTED registered childcare provider in SE15 area with 7 years experience.
I am DBS checked, First aid qualified and offering a clean, loving and safe environment for your child.
As a parent of two wonderful young ladies (one a nursery manager, the other a university student), I understand how difficult leaving your child is and I try to make this process as easy for you and your child as possible.
I offer a culturally diverse learning experience and aim to cater to the needs of all families that choose to use my services i.e. cooking Halal meat.
I plan activities based on the needs of the children but can assure your child will be shattered by all the fun they will be having, by the end of the day.
I have a large garden with a multi-swing climbing frame , slides, sandpits and trampoline; everything to keep your little ones happy for garden play.
I am also in close proximity to Southwark’s loveliest parks and libraries.
Ultimately, I aim to offer your children a home away from home, that allows you parents piece of mind!

A wonderful childminder, we feel very lucky to have found her. Reliable, professional, firm when necessary but kind and the children adore her. Wonderful home cooked meals provided for the children, lots of activities, a lovely clean safe home for them to play in. 10 out of 10.
