Hi, I’m Brooke – a caring, creative and experienced childminder offering a calm, nurturing home-from-home setting where children are free to be themselves, learn through life, and thrive at their own pace.
My home is like an extended family, where children feel safe, loved, and truly seen. I believe learning happens naturally through experience, exploration, and connection — not just from organised activities, books or worksheets.
A setting where children are loved and encouraged to express themselves.
• Regular adventures outdoors: Richmond Park, Bushey Park, and the Magic Garden at Hampton Court
• Visits to David Lloyd for fun movement and variety in the week
• Calm, homely routines that help children feel grounded and secure
• Support with emotional development, confidence, and independence
• Activities inspired by nature, curiosity, and real-life experiences
My Experience
I have over 13 years of experience working in childcare, including as a nanny, childminder, nursery assistant, and support worker. I’ve cared for children from newborn to school age, including twins, and those with additional needs or learning differences.
This wide-ranging background has given me a strong understanding of child development, emotional wellbeing, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs.
Parents often describe me as calm, patient, and deeply intuitive — someone their children feel naturally comfortable with.

Our daughter has been with Brooke since she was 1, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. She settled in quickly and absolutely loves her time with Brooke. Her assistant, Mia, is a wonderful addition to the team—always warm, friendly, and approachable.
Brooke is a genuinely kind and caring person who is also extremely reliable, flexible, and conscientious.
The stimulating environment Brooke has created allows our daughter to thrive, and it’s so reassuring to know she is so well cared for and happy.
We would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for exceptional childcare!

Our little girl goes to Brooke's twice a week and we couldn't ask for a better childminder. She loves staying there and playing with the friends she has made and we appreciate the homely, friendly environment, fun activities and flexibility.

Brooke has looked after my daughter for the last two years since she was 10 months old and has been absolutely brilliant. She is kind, trustworthy and very reliable. My daughter loves going to her house and Brooke takes her out on a trip everyday. She’s never let me down, and as I work as a GP Brooke has helped me out last minute several times. She’s very professional and takes her work seriously, but my favourite thing about her is she treats my daughter as part of her family meaning I never have to worry about leaving her. Easy walk from her house to the station. I’m happy to to be contacted to give more information if needed.
