About Me
Hello Parents, #(I only work from my home setting )? We currently have one space available for a child aged 9 months old.
My name is Ella. I am a mum to two school-aged children and have been a local OFSTED registered childminder for 10 years. I have also previously worked as a safeguarding officer within primary schools playgrounds.
If you are looking for a safe and stimulating environment for your lovely child, then I am available to help. By teaching through play, I can support your child’s language and communication skills and their overall development in an age-appropriate way. My home environment is secure and open-plan, with a designated play area and a large garden for plenty of fresh air. I also have a separate, sleep-safe space available for naps. I also have a park nearby where children in my care will be able to play (closely supervised) and experience nature to further support their mental and physical wellbeing.
Through my home setting, I can provide parents with:
Personalised support with feeding
Potty-training
Nap schedules
You can also expect regular communication to keep you updated on your child’s activity, giving you peace of mind while you are away from your child .

School pick up and drop off (Eastbrook, William Bellamy, and Rush Green primary schools)
Please get in touch to discuss your childcare needs.

Ella is an amazing childminder and such a wonderful person. She has been taking care of my son, Victor, for the past 7 months, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
The setting is always clean and welcoming, the food is amazing, and the activities and games she does with the children are both fun and educational. Victor absolutely loves spending time there and has developed so much since starting with Ella.
What I appreciate most is the peace of mind she gives me - I know my son is safe, happy, loved, and very well taken care of every single day. It’s clear that Ella truly cares about the children and treats them like her own.
I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional childminder. Thank you so much, Ella, for everything you do for Victor!

My soon to be 18month old has been going to Ella since she was about 7 months . She absolutely loves being with Ella , she even doesn’t want to leave at times when I come to pick her up . Ella constantly provides updates with pictures and videos to let me know how my baby is doing through out the day. She provides a wide range of activities and tasty meals for the children and her home is super clean and tidy. She also provides a babysitting service that I have used many times when my husband and I have been stuck and needed childcare for the weekend. I feel at ease when my baby is with Ella and have no worries .

Ella has been the best childminder we could have ever hoped for. She is so lovely, caring and helpful. My daughter, Arabella, started with Ella at around 9 months old, and she absolutely loved going there. I always knew she was in safe hands. Ella sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated, and my daughter always came home clean, happy and well looked after.
Sadly, we had to move to a different area and find another childminder, but we both miss Ella dearly. She is truly excellent at what she does, and we feel so lucky to have had her care for Arabella. Thank you again, Ella!
