My Summary
About Me
*Waiting list until September 2024*
My name is Sophia and I am an Ofsted registered childminder & home care registered.
I am committed to providing a fun, friendly and safe environment for the children in my care.
I endeavour to provide children with stimulating learning opportunities that reflect their age and stage of development through play and every day experiences. I understand that each child is an individual and treat them with care, empathy and respect.
I believe in working in partnership with parents; welcoming ideas and encouraging parents to provide me with comments and suggestions, we use Cradle app for daily diary and have set up WhatsApp groups with parents for effective communication.
I run my setting professionally, attending training opportunities, respecting confidentiality, keeping organised records in accordance with current guidelines.
I have clear policies and procedures, I am committed to providing a reliable service that parents can depend on and in which they can place their confidence.

Our daughter started with Sophia at 10 months old, we found the space very well set up for infants with plenty of toys, dining space and access to an outdoor play area. She settled in very well and has become very attached to Sophia and the team, enjoying the different activities including Spanish class on Tuesdays.
For us parents, we love the regular updates on WhatsApp and we can check the Cradle app to see when our daughter has eaten, been changed, napped, completed an activity etc. We also appreciate the regular dialogue on her development.
Sophia is a God sent. I couldn't be any more happier with the care and the peace of mind she offers from her services. Most important my Little one feels at home and secure. The communication is great and almost instant. I would recommend Sophia especially if you're based in Brixton. Her location is central.
My children have been with sophia for a week and have settled in very well. After a session with sophia my children are always smiling which makes me feel content because i know they are being well looked after in a safe environment. i am so pleased and happy i found her she is a brilliant childminder i couldnt be happier. Sophia is excellent with children very organised kind caring realible and passionate about her job role.
My girls are very much drawn to Sophia’s setting where they get a chance to surround themselves with their peers.
I am confident & certain that they are safe and well looked after when they are in the care of Sophia.
Sophia picks my 4.5yo up from school and looks after her until 6:45pm twice a week.
Sophia is excellent with children. From the get-go she has engaged with my child, speaking to her on her level, helping her with her phonics and number work and having fun with her. My child comes home from Sophia’s full of chat about the time she has spent there. Sophia is punctual and reliable, friendly and approachable, professional and caring.
I am so pleased to have found her!
