About Me

I am a 42yrs old; fun, caring, and very active Ofsted Registered Childminder. I have been childminding since January 2010, enjoying my days looking after the little ones and care for them as they are my own.

My experiences are looking after children of my families, friends, my God children, and being a mother to my daughter and son.
My love for children and friendly personality makes us bond in no time. Children are happy in my care, and this makes me happy and enjoy working with them.

I encourage EYFS and incorporate those key skills into my everyday activities as well as giving extra support to each child individual needs. Most importantly, it is for children to be SAFE, HAPPY, and to ENJOY their time spending in my care.

I offer a flexible service, working with full-time and part-time little ones, being supported by my assistants.

I am located in Peckham Rye/Nunhead few minutes walk from the Peckham Rye Train Station.

I am registered on the Free Early Education and Childcare Scheme, Tax Free Childcare.

I encourage Healthy Eating, Fun and Games, Daily Learning, Indoor and Outdoor Activities, Educational and Fun Days Out, Sand and Water Play, Visits to Play Groups, Libraries and Local Activities, Art and Crafts, Cooking, Books and Videos, Dancing / Exercise, Story-time, Nursery Rhymes and Songs, Group and One to One Learning.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank You

Ramona

Good
7 May 2024
A recent inspection found that children are thriving in a nurturing and engaging environment. Good systems are in place for monitoring progress and communicating with parents. Children are happy, purposefully engaged, and build independent learning skills through well-planned activities. They enjoy positive relationships with staff and peers. While overall quality is good, improving access to books in the playroom would further enhance language and literacy skills.

Our little girl went to Ramona's child care setting aged 11 to 17 months after she was highly recommended by our close friends. The care and attention she and her team gave our daughter was amazing. Our daughter was clearly extremely happy there, we always felt she was looked after. Specifically I was reassured that she ate well, I knew who the care givers were and she clearly had fun learning and playing from the artwork and photos showing us all the fun games she was playing. My husband and I had conflicting work patterns and Ramona was always flexible for our requirements. We are so sad to leave her care and the only reason for this is due to moving jobs and home. We shall be forever indebted to you Ramona for looking after our first baby, thank you.

Our daughter was looked after by Ramona and her incredible team from 11 - 18 months. We moved abroad, otherwise she would still be in her care today. Ramona provides a fantastic environment for the children. Every day they offer new activities and opportunities for them to learn and develop. During warmer weather, they also take the children out to the local park. Ramona's communication with us was also excellent - she was able to offer advice on how best to support our daughters motor development and shows genuine care and interest in ensuring the children reach their potential. Ramona and the team also go above and beyond at several points throughout the year, putting on special events, such as sports day, graduation and a Christmas party. This offers a really nice opportunity for parents and carers to get together and to see the children playing together. We can't thank Ramona and her team enough for the wonderful support and care they provided for our daughter - we miss them all a lot. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as a childminder setting for your child. Thank you!

Our daughter was cared for by Ramona and her assistants from the age of 12 months to 32 months and it became a home from home where she was completely at ease, always laughing and having fun with the other children and staff.

The setting is clean and very well equipped with fun, educational toys and activities. The children regularly play in the garden, visit local parks and playgrounds, go on nature walks and trips to the library. The food served was delicious and very much enjoyed by our daughter who can be a fussy eater. We were supported in dealing with our daughter's eczema and potty training and always felt she was well looked after and learning positive habits.

We were given daily reports of our child's meals, naps, potty use, and activities which included a mix of story time, singing and dancing, educational games, fancy dress, imaginative play, physical activities like yoga and creative activities often marking a holiday or special event. Ramona celebrated birthdays, World book day, Halloween, Black History Month, National days and celebrations from around the world in an appropriate and engaging way.

We noticed immediately after our daughter started at Ramona's setting, how her language and social skills developed. Later as she learned to count and recite the alphabet, sing new songs and expand her skills and vocabulary, it was apparent that Ramona and her staff were supporting and advancing her learning and development alongside us. Ramona provided observations on her learning and a detailed Early Years Development Report for her recent transition to Preschool.

Over our time with Ramona we have attended summer parties, Christmas parties, graduation award ceremonies and sports days for the children where we were able to mix with the staff, other families and children in a social setting. Seeing our children interacting with one another and their carers it was clear how much love was shared between them all. Ramona provided food and entertainment for on each of these occasions and ensured parents felt part of the community of her setting and were aware of any new developments and improvements they were making.

We are so thankful to Ramona and her staff. We can see the positive impact they have had on our daughter and even her new nursery staff have remarked on the great job Ramona has done in preparing our daughter for her next phase.
