Childminder in Bracknell
My Summary
About Me
? OFSTED Registered Childminder in Wooden Hill, Bracknell ?
Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am an OFSTED registered childminder based in Wooden Hill, Bracknell. I am also a mum to three boys and understand how important it is for parents to find childcare that feels safe, nurturing, and reliable.
I offer flexible childcare to suit your work commitments, including:
• Full-time and part-time childcare
• All year round contracts
• Before and after school wraparound care
• School collections from Wooden Hill Primary School
? I accept all government funding schemes.
I hold a Level 3 qualification in Homebased Childcare and I am fully trained in:
• Paediatric First Aid
• Safeguarding
? A Warm Home-from-Home Environment
I provide a nurturing, cosy, and welcoming environment where children feel safe, secure, and valued. I work closely with parents and carers to follow each child’s individual routine and support their development, helping every child feel a true sense of family and belonging.
Children have access to:
• Dedicated playroom
• Secure garden for year-round outdoor play
• Lounge, kitchen, and dining areas for learning and play
• Comfortable sleep spaces for naps and quiet time
? Learning Through Play & Exploration
I follow the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework, just like any other early years setting, and plan activities tailored to each child’s interests and stage of development.
Activities include:
• Weekly themed activities
• Creative play and crafts
• Sensory and messy play
• Outdoor adventures and nature walks
• Toddler groups and childminder drop-in sessions
• Trips to parks, libraries, farms, and local attractions
? Exploring the Wider World
I believe children learn best through hands-on experiences and exploration. Regular outings help children build confidence, social skills, and curiosity about the world around them.
? Childcare for Ages 0–12
I care for children aged 0–12 years and can provide continuity of care for families as children grow. I also support:
• School transitions
• Children attending pre-schools or playgroups alongside my setting
? Conveniently located in Wooden Hill, Bracknell, close to parks, countryside walks, Great Hollands amenities, and just a short walk from Wooden Hill Primary School.

My daughter has had the best time with Mahalia and her boys for the last two and a half years! Knowing she was in such good, caring hands made it so much easier to leave her there. Mahalia has been extremely attentive to my daughter’s needs and interests and has been super supportive to us as a family as well. Everything you’d want in a childminder! 🥰
