My Summary
About Me
We have one full time space, we will have more spaces the beginning of September due to children moving on to school.
Welcome to Cheeky Charlies childminding service.
We have a fantastic reputation and are highly recommend by past and present parents, please see our reviews!
My name is Farrah, I have been childminding for 17 years and have 18 years experience with caring for children. Our recent inspection February 2024 we were graded good! We are based just by bloxwich high street, so there is plenty of transportation links to us! I work along side 2x assistants so we are able to care for a few more children than childminders. I have three children of my own boy who's 18, 2xgirls who's are 12 and 3.
I offer a clean, non-smoking and welcoming home with a wide range of educational and fun toys for both indoor and outdoor.
I have dealt with a lot of first times parents who are very nervous/anxious about leaving their child, I understand as I had to do it my self with my own when he was a baby. I have good working relationships with all my parents and their families and make time to discuss any worries/concerns that they may have.
I have a Diploma in childcare, and have completed my NVQ Level 3 CYPWF, and NVQ level 5 in leadership & management in social care and children's services. I have attended many courses with Early Years which do include First Aid and child protection. I have spent 6 months within a nursery setting as manager so I have plenty of experience within the childcare sector. I have recently became a childminder mentor to help new childminders through the process of starting their new roles, also to support and advise.

Our little boy has been with Farrah for almost a year now and we continue to be really pleased with the care he receives. She is so caring towards him and Farrah is truly passionate about caring for children. She facilitates some lovely play and learning experiences for the children and does her upmost to keep their routine. I would fully recommend Farrah to any parents looking for a homely environment for their children.

We found Farrah’s after our baby’s first nursery shut down overnight. Farrah invited us in and we knew from the first meeting that our baby would be happy, healthy, and engaged there. The other children there were very playful and welcoming to her, and she approached Farrah without her usual hesitancy.
She started at Farrah’s very soon after that first visit. Her appetite has improved, she has become more playful and talkative, and comes home happy and chatty. Farrah provides helpful updates at the end of the day and can provide open, clear answers to any questions. She also works with us to address any issues or concerns.
A brilliant childcare provider who shows she cares about children and their development every day!

My son has been with Farrah from around 10 months. He is now 13 months and really enjoys going there. When we pull up outside the house, he is always kicking his legs and excited to go in. I love the fact that Farrah is only a text message away and has treated my son as if he is one of her own children. I can’t recommend enough!

My little one has been with Farrah since she was 5.5 months old. She is almost 10 months and really flourishing. She loves the environment and gets excited when I drop her off which shows me she is happy there. She is ahead of her milestones and as a first time mum Farrah has communicated every stage with me to help me support her development and to ensure she gets consistency out of all her caregivers. I trust her wholeheartedly with my little one and would recommend her services to anyone.
