My Summary
About Me
Pixies childminding services
Lovely family childminding service run by me and my husband. We would love to welcome children in our lives as we don’t have one and give them care and cover daily activities in all 7 areas of learning.
I am a fun, outgoing person with lots of energy. I love being outside and try to go to as many different toddler groups and activities as possible!!!! Our house is full of play and fun but also full of manners and discipline!
We live in a 4 bedroom house with a large, safe and secure garden with field view . There is a dedicated playroom for the older children, all so closely monitored! I work closely with a few other childminders so the children have a broader social network.
We also have a lovely park very close by.
I offer a home from home environment with plenty of cuddles and fun! I follow the same EYFS guidelines as nurseries and pre-schools and fill out Daily Diaries and Learning Journeys for the under 5's. Healthy, home cooked food olive oil (with the occasional 'naughty' dinner)!!!! .
Lots of trips are always planned, open mead farm, Tring Museum, splash park, farm, teddy bears picnic, zoo and lots more!
Pixies childcare located in Hockliffe in Leighton Buzzard Beautiful house, OFSTED registered.
We are able to take children before, during and after school hours. The hours can be flexible. Also
Available on weekends and nights.
We do pick ups and drop offs as well.
Kind regards,

Can't rate them highly enough - very friendly and Chloe really enjoyed her time there. They were very good when she had a 'moment' and was missing Mummy. Kept updated of activities throughout the day and as a bonus they have a very friendly and cuddly dog!

Thanks a lot, all of us including the other kids and Pixie really loved Chloe’s company during half term. She is always welcome again anytime.
Avni and Ameet are such wonderful people. They are absolutely fantastic with kids, my 2 year old little girl loved them the very first day we met for settling in sessions. Both Ameet and Avni are hands on with the children and looks after them just like her own. They were very helpful in time of crisis and went out of there way to make sure the kids are safe. Pixie's is one of the best childminding place, where you can be assured you children are in safe hands and they will get the absolute best care . Which leaves you in peace while at work. It was sad that we couldn't continue for longer due to my work commitments . I would highly recommend Avni and Ameet anyday for the best childcare service .

Thank you so much. We are blessed to have Olivia coming to ours and we would continue giving best service and love our kids. ❤️
I really needed some extra help though, the school holidays. and was lucky enough to find pixies childminding. I would deffiently give them a 5* rating, so much so I pulled my just 3 year old out of preschool to stay with them. he learns just as much, properly more as it's more of a 121 setting. and he still gets to be a 3 year old, and go to parks and play outside with their lovely dog Pixie! you know when you drop your child of, they are fed healthy but yummy breakfast, lunch, dinner and are looked after in a loving home setting.

Healthy meals and snacks are provided daily. They provide educational and developmental tools plus access to a massive play area via the garden where they is a secure private park. Their attention to detail and willingness to communicate even the slightest details/concerns is helpful and reassuring.
