Childminder in Dartford (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
Spaces Available For September 2026
About Me
I have a wealth of experience caring for children, both personally and professionally, from newborn babies through to teenagers. I genuinely love watching children grow, develop and discover the world around them. Seeing their confidence blossom and celebrating each new milestone is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.
As a mum to four wonderful adult children and a proud nanny to seven amazing grandchildren, I understand how important it is for parents to know their children are safe, happy and loved. I work closely with families to provide a warm, caring and stimulating environment where children can learn through play, build confidence, make lasting friendships and, most importantly, have lots of fun.
Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with children in a variety of roles, including Social Services, supporting street children, and working with children with disabilities. These experiences have given me the patience, understanding and compassion that I bring to my childminding every single day.
**As I am new to Childcare.co.uk, I haven’t yet had the opportunity to build reviews on this platform. However, I have been caring for children for many years and can provide excellent written references and testimonials from both current and previous families. I’m also happy, with their permission, to arrange for prospective parents to speak with families who have used my childcare services.
Choosing childcare is a big decision, and I want every family to feel confident and reassured when choosing Cinderella’s Daycare.
My Experience
Hello and welcome to Cinderella’s Daycare!
I am an Ofsted-registered childminder offering a warm, safe and nurturing home-from-home environment where children can learn, grow and thrive through play.
I provide care for babies and toddlers during the day, as well as a breakfast club and after-school club, where children can enjoy a wide range of fun, engaging activities.
Healthy, home-cooked meals and snacks are prepared fresh each day. I also support families with paced bottle feeding and baby-led weaning, ensuring each baby’s individual routine and needs are followed.
I currently collect from both sites of Dartford Primary School.
If you would like to find out more about the care I offer, please get in touch. I would be delighted to answer any questions and email you my Welcome Pack.
I also offer a babysitting service in your own home.
I look forward to hearing from you.
