My Summary
About Me
Hello ! My name is Murdina Baillie of M.A.M.Childminding Service where I am a Registered Childminder, an Early Years Childhood Educator and a Pedagogical Leader. I provide ELC for babies and children from birth to 16 years.
I am a registered Care Inspectorate Childminder that meets the Scottish Government National Standard and work in partnership with Clackmannanshire Council to provide some or all of your child's Early Learning and Childcare funded hours entitlement.
In my role of caring for your child, I provide a nurturing, safe, secure and stimulating environment for your child where they benefit from both indoor and outdoor fun and challenging learning opportunities.
My minded children seem to enjoy their time here,as sometimes they just don't want to go home :-)
This is a smoke-free home and very pet friendly.
My Experience
I have 3 children,aged 19, 24 and 32 combined with the wealth of experience 14years of childminding can bring.

Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Murdina is a fantastic childminder. She has taken care of both of my children in their pre-school years and we will be sad to say goodbye to her at the end of this month.
Murdina provides a caring, educational and fun environment for the children. The children go on lots of outings (such as Bookbug, Toddlers and the Safari Park) and when at her setting, she has lots of fun activities to keep everyone engaged and stimulated. She is brilliant at communicating with parents. As well as seeing how settled and happy my own children are with her- at pickup and drop off it is clear to see the strong bonds she has with all the children in her care.
A huge thank you to you, Murdina, for everything over the past 4 years. We will miss you!

My daughter has been with murdina since she was 2. She's away to start school this year, with murdinas help she's come on leaps and bounds. Being a covid baby she was very shy to start, murdina helped her in every aspect of coming out of her shell. They go out and learn while having fun, my daughter loves murdina as do me and my partner. Lots of fun days out good schedules plenty of mixing with other children. Couldn't ask for a better childminder or friend, the best.

Murdina has been my childminder for a number of years and as my last child is nearing the end of primary school we will be saying goodbye at the end of June. Murdina has provided an outstanding service to our family and I have no hesitation in recommending her to others. Murdina is very nurturing and my child has always been extremely happy under her care. She responds to individual interests and provides plenty of opportunities for the children to enjoy the outdoors. Murdina is part of a network of childminders in Tullibody who work together to provide exciting and varied activities for the children under their care. We always get a warm welcome in the morning and a personal update at pick up. Murdina sends regular updates and photographs which allows me a glimpse into the fun times my child is experiencing when I’m not there. Murdina regularly evaluates her service seeking my views and that of my child’s; she is always seeking to continually improve the quality of her care. My child has been safe, happy and well cared for in a loving and nurturing home setting. It will be hard for us to say goodbye to someone who has been such an important part of our daily lives. Honestly, she has been amazing and your child will thrive under her care!
