My Summary
About Me
Hello and welcome!
My name is Carla and I am an experienced Childminder, former Early Years Teacher, and proud mum to my little boy, Roman.
I have over 17 years of experience working with children across a variety of Early Years settings, and caring for and supporting children's development has always been my passion. My experience, combined with becoming a mother myself, has given me a deeper understanding of the trust parents place in those caring for their children.
I provide a safe, nurturing and welcoming home-from-home environment where children are encouraged to learn, explore, play and most importantly, have fun. My purpose-built playroom has been thoughtfully designed to create a stimulating learning environment where children can develop confidence, independence and a love of learning through play.
I strongly believe that children learn best when they are engaged, happy and given opportunities to explore the world around them. Alongside planned activities based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), I place a huge emphasis on outdoor learning and enrichment experiences. We regularly enjoy visits to local parks, libraries, rhyme time sessions, museums, children's centres, farms and community events, helping children develop a sense of curiosity and connection with the world around them.
Every child in my care is treated as an individual. I take the time to understand their unique personalities, interests and developmental needs, ensuring they receive the support and encouragement they need to thrive. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child grow in confidence and achieve milestones, and I feel privileged to be part of that journey.
Building strong partnerships with parents is incredibly important to me. I pride myself on maintaining open, honest and effective communication, working together to ensure every child receives the very best care and support both at home and within my setting.
Whether you are returning to work, looking for funded childcare, term-time care, or a full-time placement, I would be delighted to discuss your childcare needs and show you around my setting.
I look forward to hearing from you and welcoming your family to my childcare setting.
My Experience
I hold a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies and have over 17 years of experience working with children across a variety of Early Years settings. Throughout my career, I have progressed from Nursery Nurse to Room Leader, Deputy Manager, Early Years Teacher, and now Childminder, giving me a wealth of experience in supporting children at different stages of their development.
I have extensive experience working with children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including Autism, as well as supporting children who are bilingual and learning English as an additional language. I am passionate about ensuring that every child feels valued, included, and supported to reach their full potential.
To ensure I provide the highest standard of care, I regularly update my professional training and qualifications, including Safeguarding, Paediatric First Aid, Food Hygiene, and other Early Years training courses. I am committed to continuous professional development and keeping up to date with current legislation, best practice, and developments within the Early Years sector.

My DS loves coming everyday. He enjoys playing, learning and spending time with his friends. He is so happy when I drop him off and collect him and I feel totally at ease when I leave him. Amazing setting and fabulous routine for my son. He loves doing rhyme time everyday with his friends and comes home singing. I have no complaints with this setting and my son is loved and well looked after. If I do have another child I would definitely be using them again. All smiles from my side xx
