My Summary
About Me
I have been a childminder for 35 years, and within that time I have raised my own 4 children. I now childmind with one of my daughters who is also registered and qualified. I thoroughly enjoy looking after kids, they've given me so much pleasure over the years.
I have a dedicated playhouse for the children, packed with toys, books and all sorts of interest for the kids. I have a large outside play area which the children are encouraged to use. We also take regular excursions to the nearby green spaces, parks and the river.
My Experience
I have been childminder for over 30 years. In that time I have seen some of my previous children grow into adults and have children themselves. Knowing that I have been a part of that child's early development and education is extremely rewarding.
My Qualifications
I have my certificate in childcare, as does my daughter. I also continue my professional development with online courses and tutorials including Step into Training courses with Oxford City Council.
My Availability
I pick up from surrounding schools.
We also offer free 15/30 hours and 2 years funding

Our little boy spent two years with Nina. He really grew and flourished and became very confident during his time with her. Although Nina's is described as a childminders, it is really set up like a nursery, with wonderful inside and outside spaces and trips out to the river or the local playground. It is incredibly clean. Children paint, sing together, bake and celebrate one another's birthdays.
Nina puts an enormous amount of work and effort into everything she does, going above and beyond. The people who work with her display similair amounts of care and attention.
Nina's is perfect for mobile children and is a really great place for children to figure out who they are. We are incredibly grateful to Nina.
Our little girl went to Nina’s for almost 3 years!
Nina and the team are so warm and friendly! It was my daughter second home and family!! She loved it! Was so excited to go everyday!!
The activities the team put together are so fun for the children as well as educational! They have trips out to the field, park, down to Iffley licks to see the ducks! Everything a child wants and needs!!!
I used to LOVE getting pictures and videos of what they’re up to!
Nina’s setting is so cosy & clean!! Feels super homely and perfect for little ones!!
Nina and the team really do an amazing job of looking after the children, you can tell they love them all!!! It’s so heartwarming to watch and know how much each child is loved there!!
My daughter has started school now, she left Nina’s over the summer. The transition to school was made so easy with lots of help from Nina & team, they would chat to the older children about school, what to expect there etc… so the children knew what was coming rather than being filled with fear!
My older daughter LOVED going to Ninas!!
So much so, we send our younger one there now! & of course she absolutely loves being there!!!!
Thank you team! You’re truly amazing ♥️♥️♥️
I couldn't recommend Nina and her team enough. My daughter went there for 3 years and 1 month, it was the best thing ever.
They were so helpful from the beginning, it was my daughter's second family.
I cherish all the pictures and videos they send me.We were very sad, when my daughter left to start reception,and they prepared her really well for that. She always wants to go back to Nina's.
They really do their best , all the kids love Nina and her team. I can't be grateful enough for everything what they did for my daughter.
Thank you Nina and team for everything ❤️
From the moment I walked into Nina's house, I knew my daughter would be happy there - she has loads of toys and a very big outdoor play area and also takes the children out to the parks which my daughter loves. Nina was my daughter's 3rd childminder and I must say I was shocked at how quickly my daughter settled in at Nina's. It's worth noting that my daughter is an only child and lives alone with me, as such she's very clingy and it took her about 4months to settle with previous Childminders but it took her much less (about 3weeks) to settle at Nina's - I wished I found Nina much sooner!
Soon she started waking up and saying "going to Nina"s" and that literally melted my heart. She woke up everyday and looked forward to going to Nina's and will always ask after Nina and Lisa. That said a lot to me, it was clear my daughter was happy at Nina's which in turn made me happy and relaxed each time I dropped her off.
Over time I could see my daughter picked up good habits - she would immediately go to wash her hands once we got back home, she would cover her mouth when coughing, she was more happy to share her toys and food - to mention a few.
I would highly recommend Nina and her team, a trial will convince you!!!
My daughter has been going to Nina's for the last 3 years and I highly recommend them to anyone that asks.
My daughter was a lockdown baby which meant she had only been around family. I was very anxious about her starting at the childminder but all the staff were very welcoming and supportive. Due to their knowledge and experience, my daughter's transition was very smooth and after a few settling in sessions, she was happy and settled.
Over the last three years, we have always felt very welcomed and we are always greeted with a smile. All the staff are kind, friendly, caring and happy. They genuinely love the children in their setting and they treat them like family.
The communication is amazing, I love all the daily pictures and videos I get of my daughter and her friends doing all different activities.
They always make sure the children have exciting activities that are educational, alot of singing, dancing, walks to the park, feeding the ducks not to mention the themed days which my daughter loves.
Thank you to all the staff for giving my daughter the best foundation in life, we came with a shy, clingy baby that cried alot and we are leaving with a super confident, chatty, caring and loving daughter who is ready for school. I will forever be grateful for all the love and care you have given to us as a family. I feel like we have gained an extra family as my daughter loves you all and she will miss seeing you everyday.
