My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder, graded outstanding on both of my inspections.
I live in a three bedroom house in Easthampstead with a beautiful secure garden and an abundance of toys and resources for all ages.
In my spare time I love to read and am a Disney fanatic who escapes to Disney Florida once a year. (term time holiday).
My Experience
Having worked as an EYFS and Year 1 teacher for many years I have a wealth of experience to bring to my venture as a childminder. I fully believe that children thrive and learn when they feel secure and happy. I will offer a wide range of activities and outings to ensure your child has fun whilst developing and learning the skills needed to become a well- rounded sociable young person. I will take the children to soft play, Little Street, adventures in the woods, The Look Out, farms, parks and occasionally further afield to places like Millers Ark, Beale Park and Marwell Zoo. In addition to this your child will spend quality time at my house enjoying child and adult led activities as well as taking time to just be a child and partake in free play.
Experience working with premature babies/children born prematurely including those being tube fed and on oxygen.
Due to my working hours i dont have much time to attend face to face training courses however I regularly partake in online training covering an extensive range of subjects.
My Qualifications
A whole range of certificates available to view including First aid and safeguarding. My training is always kept up to date and relevant so qualifications are continually changing.
My Availability

My daughter has been going to Andrea since she was 1 year old, and now she is nearly 6. I couldn't recommend Andrea more, she is best Childminder in Bracknell area hands down. Children are always well looked after and have so much fun in Andrea's care. They visit so many interesting places together, and have such a great time at Andrea's house, as she has everything Children need for play and learning. My daughter is always excited to go to Andrea's as she knows she will have great time there with all of her friends. There has never been a day that my child would be bored or unhappy.
Our family always know that we leave our precious one in safe and caring hands when we leave her at our Childminder's house :-)
We love Andrea as part of our own family.

We feel so lucky to have found Andrea. She has been absolutely wonderful in caring for our son and giving him the best possible start before beginning school. Every day he came home full of stories, excitement, and joy from all the fun and stimulating activities she planned. The trips out were always a highlight for him.
Our son developed so much confidence, independence, and curiosity under her care. She has given him an amazing foundation that has carried him into school.
We couldn’t recommend Andrea highly enough. She has been such a positive influence in our son’s early years, and we will always be thankful for everything she has done.

This is my son’s second year with Andrea, she is amazing. Couldn’t ask for a better person to look after my son three days a week. Feel at ease knowing that he is well looked after. He has learned so much and this thriving. The atmosphere is just perfect. Andrea is professional, welcoming, caring and supportive. Brilliant Lady.

I have had both my children with Andrea since they were 6 months old. They are now 7 and 9 and still go afterschool and during the holidays. Andrea is like Mary Poppins, she is caring, give them structure and safety, and a lot of different materials for learning while playing. Not only do they get to develop their interest, they also learn to engage with the different children of different ages respectfully and kindly. The house set up is perfect for little and big children, having made the garden an heaven even in winter time where a Pirate ship sit in the back-garden for imaginary adventures. But during the day, they also visit playground and different soft-plays that allow them to get a bit more diversity. Andrea offer a healthy variety of food to children (protein, vegetable and carbs in good proportion), although they would love having only her party food all year long! And finally her communication is perfect, from the early years of keeping us informed of the milestones and activities they were involved in daily, to the later stage we are now informing us of anything that as parent we should be aware of.
I cannot recommend Andrea enough... I would actually prefer keeping her the "best secret childminder of Bracknell".

Andrea came highly recommended from our friends. Our son has been going to her since he was 10 months old and he’s thriving. He’s always excited and happy to see Andrea at drop-off. We’re kept updated throughout the day with photos and messages. She takes the children out regularly, even if it’s just for a walk locally, and it’s clear they’re kept stimulated and entertained with various activities in the day. Andrea took time to support us getting our son settled in before he officially started. We’re so happy we went with her as our childminder.

Andrea has been looking after our child from a year old. We couldn’t ask for a better person to care for our child. She is very professional, she makes sure children are happy. Frequent outings to all kinds of fun places, plethora of educational toys that are suitable for the season, a lot of photo/video updates from your child and many more good things. I cannot recommend her more.
Her place is well set up for child care, just like a mini nursery. Her garden is very well maintained and includes many toys to play al year round.
In terms of communication, she is very punctual on her working schedule, and timely on her responses.

Andrea is amazing! She helped my child settle in so quickly, and I feel completely at ease leaving my baby with her. She is well-organized and always puts the children’s happiness and development first. My little one loves going to her place and enjoys all the fun activities like soft play, farm visits, and plenty of toys. Highly recommended!
