About Me

Updated October 2026 - Donna Nevill to reflect the change from being a Registered Childminder to a Registered Nanny.

i have previously been a registered childminder from 20th December 2018 until the end of September 2026 and before that from 1996 to approx 2011. this gives me more than 33 years experience as a mum and 23 years experience of working with other peoples children.

All of my skills are transferable to my new role as a Nanny.
My biggest strength is my genuine passion to help others, my honesty and openness when working with parents. Caring is from the heart and i understand a lot of different life experiences.

I have a CACHE level 3 qualification in Childminding Practice and a DBS check that is registered with the update service.

Other Qualifications and Training include:
- 2024 I qualified as a Child & Adolescent Mental Health Coach (where I am now studying Emotional Literacy Mentor and level 5 Parent Coaching qualifications).

- December 2025 I renewed my Full Paediatric First Aid

- March 2026 I have renewed my Child Protection Training and Safer Recruitment knowledge.

- June 2026 I passed the SENCO level 3 course

I continue to update necessary training; documents of which can be seen on my profile...other training over these years includes 2 day Youth Mental health 1st Aider, food hygiene and safety, child sexual exploitation and FGM awareness, Equality and Diversity, ADHD Awareness, Autism Awareness, Dyslexia Awareness, Reflective Practice in Early Years, Setting up your Childminding Service, Supporting Early Language Development, An Introduction to the GDPO, Equality and Inclusion in Early Years, Autism Awareness, Data Protection
My interests include offering a lot of Holistic Treatments such as massage, pedicures, manicures and more. I am just beginning to learn about sound therapy and hope to use this with my work with children.

As a practitioner, I focus a lot on messy and sensory play and of course rotate resources to meet your child's likes and consider what is needed to develop their next steps.
_________________________________________
Over the years I have cared for many children ranging from 3 months old to age 11 when moving onto secondary school and have had 6 of my own children (one of whom had a rare heart condition) so am confident in my daily tasks, activities and small amount of special needs knowledge and all types of care.
I currently live with my 2 children aged 19, and 11.
I go to regular activities in the community to stimulate each age and stage of their developments of which I would continue to do with your child/ren along with an interest to promote baking, crafts and more.

I love helping people and am very caring and flexible and open to any communication to resolve issues. I am 100% committed to the things I undertake.
Please contact me if you have any questions or think we can help you with your childcare needs.

My fees start from £15.00 per hour to focus solely on the children.
