Why Your Child Will Love Being With Me
Choosing the right childcare is a big decision. You want someone you can trust — someone who will care for your child, keep them safe, and help them learn, grow and have fun.
As a childminder, I provide a warm, home-from-home environment where every child is treated as an individual. ??
Your child will have opportunities to:
? Feel safe, loved and settled in a calm and caring environment.
? Learn through play with creative activities, crafts, stories, sensory play and age-appropriate learning.
? Explore and stay active through outdoor play, walks, trips and exciting experiences.
? Build friendships and social skills by learning to share, communicate, cooperate and play together.
? Develop confidence and independence at their own pace, with encouragement and positive support.
? Prepare for their next stage of learning through activities that support communication, early literacy, numeracy and understanding the world.
But most importantly, your child will be listened to, valued and encouraged to be themselves.
I believe children learn best when they feel happy, secure and confident. My aim is to create a place where your child looks forward to coming each day — while you can feel reassured that they are receiving loving, attentive and quality care.
Your child deserves more than childcare — they deserve a happy place to learn, grow, play and make wonderful memories. ?
Warm, energetic and highly reliable Ofsted-registered bilingual nanny with a strong commitment to providing safe, nurturing and stimulating childcare.
Experienced in creating engaging, age-appropriate activities that support children’s development, confidence, independence and school readiness.
I plan themed weekly activities based around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), covering personal, social and emotional development, physical development, communication and language, early literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design.
I am passionate about outdoor learning and active lifestyles, and have excellent knowledge of local attractions, including National Trust and heritage sites, forests, playgroups and outdoor learning environments. I enjoy creating memorable adventures and learning opportunities for children through play, exploration, sport and nature.
As a Hungarian-English bilingual nanny, I am happy to introduce children to another language through everyday conversation, stories, songs, play and activities.
I am trusted, dependable, organised and flexible, with strong attention to detail and excellent administrative and financial skills gained from previous professional roles. I am happy to work either as a self-employed nanny or in an employed position.

Barbara is great!! My son attended Barbara's setting for nearly 12 months. He's communication skills came on great whilst at barbaras, she always kept me informed how.he was getting on every day and things he discovered he liked. Barbara was always foing something with the children whether that be days out, park or craft work.. Barbara always accommodated our needs. Honestly, if you can choose this childminder then do! You won't be disappointed. I have certainly made a friend for life and my son also has friends with her family.

I work at the Alexandra hospital and needed my son to be collected from school from the first phone call she was great. My son has been going to Barbara for a few weeks now she picks him up from Woodrow first school. He is so happy there and from the first visit we were made to feel so welcome. He has an amazing time there and can’t wait to go everyday. I would highly recommend.
