About Me

Hi all, I am Blerina a registered childminder based in Palmers Green/haringey I ’m a member of tiney, a nation-wide community of childcare professionals.

My goal is to create a calm and purposeful home where children of all ages thrive. I make it a priority to communicate with parents through daily discussion and shared planning on the tiney app or WhatsApp. This makes sure every child gets the personal attention they need to settle in easily, feel loved, and learn and develop effectively.

A typical week includes visiting local parks, toddler groups and libraries with the children. We regularly attend playgroups where your child has the opportunity to play in larger groups of children. I consider these larger groups to be an important part of their social and emotional development.

I also speak Greek, Italian (basic) and Albanian fluently.

My home is just off green lanes and wood green underground can be accessed by bus within 5 min.
I ensure hygiene is at a very high standard to prevent spreading of infection.
I cater to special needs such as specific diets etc. so just let me know if you have any requirements.

Because I’m a member of tiney, every family that joins me full time gets £100 off their first month as a thank you for signing up

My Experience

Im a member of an Ofsted-Registered Childminding Agency dedicated to giving families access to high-quality childcare. Because I’m a part of tiney, you’ll get a range of benefits like:

Emergency childcare. If I’m ill, I have somebody who can take over so you’re not left trying to sort something out last minute.

A fantastic mobile app that handles payments, communication and EYFS tracking. 

A wider community. I get access to regular classes, events, and play sessions exclusive to tiney.

Previous to tiney I worked in nurseries for 6 years, working directly with infants and toddlers.
I have experience of assessing, planing and reviewing children's needs and ensuring they reach their full potential. I offer childcare in a safe and homely setting with opportunities to provide one to one support such as homework support.

Also offer a variety of daily activities such as painting, lego games, puzzles, little quizzes and other challenges that stimulate and develop each individual child, focusing on their individual needs and preferences and highly respecting diversity. And, of course, I have extensive experience with my own children too!

Blerina is lovely, dedicated and really well experienced! My little one loves going there and spending the time with her. They do a lot of different activities which are fun and interesting for the children and most importantly they learning as well! I am felling calm and very satisfied! Blerina really takes care and makes the days really well spent. Her place is very homely and cosy atmosphere, also the hygiene is at very high level. She knows very well each child and his needs. I am very happy, thankful and I cannot recommend her enough!

We're so thankful for Blerina. She cares a lot about the kids and want them to be happy and safe. One thing that's really great is how well she talk to us. When we have questions or worries, she always listen and make us feel better. It feels really good to know our little one is with someone who is always there and takes good care of them. Blerina is the best childminder ever!

Thank you so much for everything you've done to teach and care for Lea. We truly appreciate your love, dedication, and hard work. We are so happy that YOU helped her get ready for the next stage of her life. We'll miss you, but we're sure that we'll see each other again.

We absolutely love Blerina!

Our little daughter has been going here since he was 20 months old and we are incredibly happy with how well she growing and developing at Blerina.

Blerina extremely considerate and has created a warm, loving and fun environment for all the children.
My daughter asking me (on Saturday) can I go Nina house ? My daughter loves Blerina so much!

We wouldn’t have her anywhere else!

An outstanding childminder!💫 I couldn't have wished for better care for my son who truly adores Lina.
He always enjoys spending the day with her and is delighted to see all of his buddies. Since attending her setting, my little one flourishes in the loving, encouraging, and enjoyable atmosphere that Lina creates. She has outstanding parent-child communication, offers a wide range of daily activities for the kids, including plenty of time outside, and serves a highly nutritious home-cooked meals. She also has an excellent individual approach, understands children's needs, and allows them to grow throughout their wonderful educational journey together. I heartily endorses her to anyone searching for excellent, dependable, and compassionate childcare.
Thank you very much for every day of your care, please know that you are greatly appreciated 💙
