My Summary
Childminder In Kingston Upon Thames **Funded Spaces Available**
About Me
Hello. I've been a qualified childminder since 2015 and I'm registered with an Ofsted regulated agency.
I live in North Kingston with my husband, my daughter who is 16 and our 6 year old Jack Russell dog called Poppy.
Poppy is fantastic with children and loves to play ball.
My setting offers a safe and welcoming environment which is always full of fun. Common activities that the children enjoy include: board games, doing arts and crafts, baking and lots of imaginative play.
I find great importance in outdoor play and aim to encourage this as often as possible along with activities that promote confidence building and helps children reach key milestones in their development.
I also make sure to attend the local playgroups as often as I can so the children can be around others their age group and have the opportunity to explore a variety of different resources developing their intellectual and social skills.
Richmond Park and Ham Woods are the local nature parks and I enjoy taking the children there for picnics, looking for animals and for the overall learning of the nature around us. Canbury Gardens is also very close which especially when it’s warm I like to take the children there to feed the ducks and play in the park.
My house is a short walking distance to and from Latchmere School/Nursery and Poppets Nursery. It's also only a 15-20 min walk to Kingston Town Centre and the train station, making it ideal for those who commute.
I am originally from Germany and have been living in the UK with my husband and our 2 girls since 2006. As my husband is British we are a bilingual household.
We embrace healthy eating with daily home-cooked meals but can accommodate any specific dietary requirements.
My Experience
Apart from over 20 years experience as a mum I also have gained experience by helping out as a volunteer with children of different age groups and ethnic backgrounds.

We honestly could not have wished for a lovelier childminder. Bianca treated our daughter like part of her own family, creating such a warm and welcoming environment. She always went above and beyond to plan fun, creative activities, while also making the little everyday moments feel exciting and special. Our daughter spent three wonderful years with Bianca, and she absolutely loved her time there—she was always excited to go in the mornings.
I have always felt completely confident in my daughter’s safety while in Bianca’s care. She is incredibly attentive, responsible, and provides a secure and nurturing environment where children can truly thrive. On top of this, Bianca prepares a wonderful variety of balanced and nutritious meals—our daughter still talks about how much she misses Bianca’s food now that she has to eat school meals!
Both we and our daughter will miss her very much. We feel so lucky to have found her and could not recommend Bianca highly enough.

Our 13-month old daughter has been with Bianca since the start of January and sadly we are leaving soon due to relocation but Bianca and the other girls in her care have been wonderful. This was our daughter's first time in a childcare setting which wasn't with family so it was an adjustment for her but Bianca is so experienced and calm that we felt confident in her care from the start.
Bianca's setting is active and varied - she is often out and about with the children at different playgroups and parks but she also adapts her schedule to the type of activity that any new children enjoy. Our daughter, for example, is a little quieter and loves exploring and playing at home which Bianca also embraced.
Bianca shares her home with the children seamlessly and we love that our daughter has had her own travel cot and dark room for her naps and that Bianca happily uses the sleepsack, comforter and white noise that she's familiar with at home. Some of the children Bianca cares for have been with her for years (she now picks them up from school!) and look at her as their 'home from home', which is really special.

Bianca has been the childminder for my daughter for the last two years and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Bianca has consistently provided an exceptional level of care. My daughter is always incredibly happy with her and looks forward to each day. One of my favourite aspects about Bianca’s setting is her dedication to outdoor activities. She ensures the children spend a significant amount of time outside, taking full advantage of the many opportunities for exploration and play. This has been wonderful for my daughter's development and well-being.
I have always felt completely confident in my daughter's safety while in Bianca’s care. She is attentive, responsible, and creates a secure and nurturing environment. Bianca prepares a brilliant variety of balanced and nutritious meals, so our daughter is always well-fed.
Bianca has also been incredibly flexible with timings, which has been invaluable to our family. Her understanding and accommodating nature have made a significant difference. Similarly, when we chose to potty train our daughter, Bianca fully supported our approach and helped her succeed.
Bianca is an exceptional childminder who provides outstanding care, a stimulating environment, and has a genuine love for the children she looks after. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a reliable, caring, and enriching childcare experience.
