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 20, 25 and 33 combined with the wealth of experience 14years of childminding can bring.

We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder than Murdina. She has looked after our son for four years, providing a nurturing, safe, and loving environment where he was always cared for as an individual. She truly tailors her care to each child’s unique needs, helping them grow at their own pace.
Murdina keeps us updated throughout the day and the kids are lucky enough to engage is a huge range of activities which help broaden their horizons and see more of the local community.
Our son wasn’t ready for a large group childcare setting when we first took him to Murdinas but thanks to her patience, one-to-one attention, and encouragement, he has flourished. Choosing her as our childminder has been the best decision we have made for him. She has given him the confidence, independence, and social skills he needed, and he is now starting his school journey with so much confidence.
We will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication she showed our family. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder who genuinely puts children first.

My little girl Molly went to Murdina for just over a year and Molly has blossomed under Murdinas care. Murdina is trusted like a member of the family. She is caring patient and a great friend. Your children will be lucky to have her as a childminder. They will go to the park, play with friends and have so much fun.

My child has attended for several years and there isn’t enough words to describe the service Murdina provides. She is ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! The activities the kids do is such a variety, it’s the little things like letting the kids experience different modes of transport and all the little things that we miss with working. But we never miss a thing with all the photo we get on a daily basis you feel part of there day. The thought that goes into a day, I take my hat off to you! It is a home from home environment that they receive and nothing but the best from new activities to new foods. 5 stars is just not enough she deserves more, sad our little one is starting school soon.
