About Me
Hi, my name is Ally, I’m an Ofsted registered childminder (Ally’s Nursery). I work with an assistant.
I have two children of my own, and have been working within an educational setting since 2006. I ensure that every child is given the opportunity to express themselves and to have fun learning within a safe and loving environment. Through my own parental experiences of having a child with ASD, catering for other children and meeting their needs is of the highest importance’s.
? Full-day spaces available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays for children under 2
? School drop-off and pick-up Monday to Friday
Both myself and my assistant have extensive experience working in the education system over many years, including supporting children with special educational needs (SEN).
Together, we provide a warm, engaging, and nurturing environment where your little ones can feel safe, supported, and ready to learn through play.
If you’re looking for reliable, experienced, and caring childcare, I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to drop me a message for more details or to arrange a visit.

Ally & Louise looked after my daughter from the age of 11 months to almost 2.5 years. They are both wonderful childminders and helped my daughter grow in confidence, improved her motor skills and speech. It’s a home from home environment, it would be the loveliest feelings dropping her off and seeing how excited she was to see the girls. Being a first time mum, they also offered me so much support too, from navigating milestones to funding. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Ally has been looking after my 2 children in the holidays and they absolutely love their time there. The environment is warm and inviting. The variety of activities and days out is brilliant and I am very grateful for the care that is provided for my children. Thank you

I cannot recommend Ally and her assistant Louise highly enough. They look after both of my boys — my seven-year-old son, who is autistic, and my five-year-old — through their holiday club care and after-school childminding, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and support they provide.
They are incredibly supportive, caring and patient, and they have built such a wonderful rapport with both of my boys. In particular, they have taken the time to understand my seven-year-old’s individual needs as an autistic child and have made him feel safe, secure, heard and trusted from the very first day.
It is clear that Ally and Louise have a genuine understanding of young children and SEN needs. They are knowledgeable, approachable and compassionate, and they treat each child as an individual. Knowing that both of my boys are happy, settled and well cared for gives me such peace of mind as a parent.
Their holiday club activities are fantastic. They organise a brilliant range of activities and take the children on exciting day trips and educational outings, giving them opportunities to learn, explore, socialise and experience new things. Everything is thoughtfully planned to make sure the children have fun while also learning and developing.
Their after-school childminding is equally wonderful. They create a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where the boys feel comfortable being themselves. They are not simply supervising the children; they genuinely engage with them, listen to them and encourage them.
Seeing the positive relationship Ally and Louise have built with both of my boys means so much to me. My autistic son, especially, feeling safe and understood in someone else’s care is incredibly important, and they have managed to achieve that beautifully.
Thank you, Ally and Louise, for everything you do. We are so grateful for your kindness, patience, support and dedication. I would highly recommend you to any parent looking for caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy childcare.
Absolutely 5 stars from us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️

I can also highly recommend Ally’s nursery- the care provided by Ally & her assistant Louise is exemplary, they are kind, positive, warm and friendly. Our daughter is really happy and settled there, and they do lots of lovely trips out to Rhymetime, playgrounds and even National Trust places in the holidays. We’re so pleased to have found Ally & Louise!

My daughter, who recently turned three, has been attending Ally’s nursery for the past year following a bad experience at a previous nursery. Since joining Ally’s, we have seen a significant positive difference in her happiness and confidence.
Ally and her assistant Louise are incredibly kind, caring and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment where the children feel safe and valued. They provide healthy, nutritious dinners, organise regular outings and trips, and keep parents well informed with regular feedback about the children’s progress and day-to-day experiences.
We have been extremely happy with the care and support our daughter has received, and we would highly recommend Ally’s nursery to other parents.

Our daughter has been going to Ally since she was around 6 months old and now is almost 2 - we could not be happier with how she is cared for, taught and nurtured.
Ally has built a simply superb rapport with her; our daughter adores her, feels like part of the family and is welcomed, given delicious food and is very well-looked after. The setting is warm, comfortable and well thought-out with a large selection of toys and activities which have helped her to develop her language and understanding significantly.
Ally is warm, she brings great experience and care; and provides regular updates in line with the EYFS curriculum allowing her and all children in the setting to develop and thrive. We love how all her needs are always provided for and are amazed by with how she develops and enjoys each day as a result.

Ally has been looking after my son (4 years old) since September 2024. Although not formally diagnosed he has additional needs that require a lot of time and patience. Ally has always shown a strong ability to manage this through her care. My son loves going to Ally's house, there is always great food for him and he has become much more adventurous with his eating. There are so many lovely toys to play with and a beautiful garden for the children to spend time in. Ally is a very kind, understanding, and professional and I trust her completely in taking care of my child.
If you need a childminder in the Wallington area, I would highly recommend Ally.

My son has been looked after by Ally for the last 2 years. She has picked him up from his School several days a week. They will either walk to her house or drive depending on the weather. She engages with him and talks to him about his day and he enjoys the walk. At her house he feels safe and enjoys playing in the garden or with the other children in her care. Ally always tells me how he has been while he has been with her and if there are any issues. I would recommend Ally, if you are looking for a child minder in the Wallington area.

My son has been with Ally's Tiney Nursery since January 2024. We were immediately drawn to her warm and loving nature when we first met her. She is incredibly professional, friendly, and my son always enjoys his time with her. The setting is warm and welcoming, with plenty of toys to keep the children entertained and continuously learning.
Ally provides me with frequent updates on my son, his progress and development as well as his areas of need. Her reports are meticulous, thorough and child-focussed, with detailed advice, suggestions and guidance on how to carry over the support into the home setting. I am pleased to see him thriving in her setting.
Ally is conscientious, dedicated, forward-thinking, genuine and a trustworthy childminder. She goes above and beyond to ensure my son reaches his full potential and he loves his time at her nursery. I value her and would highly recommend her.
