About Me

Hello! I'm Siera, an Ofsted registered childminder based in Whitefield just 2 minutes walk to Besses o' th' Barn metrolink station.

"Giggles Childminding Whitefield"
++++++++++++++++-++++++++++

I live in a comfortable sized semi detached property, in a cul de sac where there's available parking on the drive for easy drop-offs and pick ups. We live on a friendly and quiet street with lots of surrounding trees so we always hear birds chirping throughout the day.

At Giggles childminding your child will have the enjoyment of a large dedicated playroom which is fully equipped with a wide range of toys, books and activities suitable for all ages and stages of development.

I also have a lovely, inviting, 48sq² secluded garden with a wide selection of outdoor toys and activities, including a vegetable patch where we grow herbs and veggies to harvest with the children to use for our meal times.

I thrive to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework set out by the Department Of Education, guiding them to develop their physical, personal, social, emotional, language and communication skills.

In 2013, I began my childminding career and continued to regularly keep myself updated with all relevant trainings such as Safeguarding & First Aid that meets the new Sept 2025 OFSTED framework.

Daily provision will include fresh organic milk and or water, I provide breakfast, lunch, tea and healthy snacks in-between.

My aim is to provide your child with a safe, caring and stimulating environment where they will be comfortable and well looked after - becoming part of the Giggles family.

I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Siera.

My Experience

Throughout my childminding career I've built and maintained a brilliant relationship with all the parents and children that was under my care. I have a portfolio showcasing their journey with me along with excellent reviews, comments and feedback that I can share with you.

I have over 12 years experienced with newborn and under 3s

Entrusting someone to care for your child is a huge decision so, don't hesitate to ask questions, for me, it's a privilege to be part of their journey.
