About Me

My name is Charmaine and I live in St George with my son aged 12, baby (due October 25), my partner and our cat! I have 11 years of childminding experience. I offer a welcoming and relaxed home from home setting, resulting in a fun and enjoyable learning experience. I strongly believe that children learn through play and am passionate about letting them explore the world; which means lots of messy fun!

As well as being a childminder, I have worked in an internationally recognised early years setting (Planning in the Moment with Anna Ephgrave). Whilst there, I worked as a Pre-school Room Practitioner before being promoted to Toddler Room Leader and Practitioner.

I am open Monday-Wednesday 8am-6pm, Term Time Only

My Experience

I have vast experience of working with children aged 0+. Being a mummy has also provided me with a lot of first hand knowledge of caring from birth onwards.

I also have a degree in Education Studies.

Good
17 May 2022
Children thrive in a caring and attentive environment that promotes independence and strong communication skills. The childminder encourages even the youngest to take on responsibilities, fostering a can-do attitude. Strong bonds form as reassurance and well-being support are offered. While children's communication progresses well through engaging conversations, there's room for improvement in the home setup to further inspire free exploration. Dedication to professional development is evident through collaboration with peers and advisory professionals.
