About Me

Hi I'm Carla,
I'm a mum of two, based in Oakley Bedford.

I am Ofsted registered (certificate is not uploaded yet on here but all parents/carers are shown this during our initial meeting) I hold an advanced DBS certificate, which is regularly updated and a paediatric first aid certificate (see full list of qualifications below).

I have been childminding since 2015 and do activities with the little ones which follow all of the the Early years curriculum, as well as having lots of fun at local groups, the local libraries, and many outdoor spaces, such as parks etc.

I except all childcare vouchers & offer the 15 and 30 hours funding (which is offered the term after a child's third birthday) I am also registered for the tax free childcare scheme which parents are also entitled to.

I work in close partnership to the local preschool and school (with references to support this) and offer before & after school care, full days, part days, term time only or all year around cover, as well as Adhoc care.

I am flexible & include parents in their child's care & learning as much as possible through email, photos, phone messages, daily dairies and home learning/progress sheets.

Please feel free to message or phone me if I can help with your childcare needs in anyway.
Warmest regards
Carla
