My Summary
Diane Registered Childminder
About Me
My name is Diane and I have been a registered childminder for over 18 years, I am a non-smoker. I go to parks, play groups, church playgroups, groups also run by children centres and soft play centres often within the Brixton and Clapham areas. I have a network of childminding and nanny friends that I see on a daily basis.
I enjoy being out and about with the childminding children taking them to educational places such as London Zoo and Battersea Park Zoo, as well as Vauxhall and Dean City Farm, all of which provide a hands on learning experience. I also take them on days out to museums such as the Natural History, Horniman and Science. In the summer I frequently have picnics in local parks such as Brockwell, Clapham and the Windmill with other childminders and nannies as it can help the children to develop and how to maintain friendships with each other. Summertime also takes us on planned day trips to places such as Sea-Side, Gruffalo Trail, Kew Gardens, PYO Farms, Lavender Hills, Hampton Court Palace to name a few. All these trips are planned in advance with parents permission. I also regularly meet up with other childminders and nannies for days out as well which opens up the world of education to children through socialising with new peers.
I live near both Clapham North and Brixton tube stations, and also many bus routes which can take you into the West end, City, Clapham Junction and Croydon. I can supply references for you to contact.
Please feel free to contact me for any more information including hours and fees. I offer both full time/part time and term time only contracts.
References are available on request.

Diane has been looking after my son for over 2 years, and throughout this time she has always shown incredible kindness and care towards him. He absolutely loves going to her house and always comes home happy and excited to share his day. Diane organises lots of fun outings and days out, and she consistently sends photos and provides clear, detailed updates at the end of each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a nurturing and reliable childminder. My son will really miss seeing her when he goes to school. Thank you, Diane, for all of your help and support over the years!

Diane has looked after my son from 9 months old until he started school at 4 years, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder. Although my son has now moved on to school, we will continue to use Diane for inset days and holidays as we value her so much.
Diane is incredibly kind and caring, and my son absolutely thrived under her care. She always organised the most wonderful trips and experiences — from Kew Gardens, Hampton Court Palace, London Zoo, and the South Bank, to Chinatown, the Gruffalo Trail, Covent Garden, Brighton, Leigh-on-Sea museums, the cinema, and local libraries. Alongside these bigger outings, Diane also ensured the children had regular playdates with her childminding friends, visits to local parks, playgroups, and soft play, so there was always plenty of social interaction and fun. My son gained so much from all of these adventures and experiences.
Her communication and flexibility are second to none. Diane is reliable, offers great advice, and goes above and beyond to support families. The added bonus of babysitting meant we had complete peace of mind, knowing our son was safe and happy in her care at all times.
We feel so lucky to have had Diane in our lives — she has given our son the very best start and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
