My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Tina. I am a mum of four and an Ofsted-registered childminder based in St Albans. I have many years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, and I genuinely love helping children learn, grow and develop at their own pace.
My setting offers a warm, home-from-home environment where children feel safe, valued and comfortable. Although my home is fully equipped with a wide range of resources for young children to learn, play and explore, it is also a calm, nurturing space designed to help them settle quickly.
I follow the EYFS framework, supporting each child’s individual learning through purposeful play, sensory experiences, crafts, messy play, story time, outdoor learning and everyday routines. Children enjoy a mixture of structured activities and free-flow play, helping them build confidence, communication skills and independence.
We go out every day to parks, playgroups, nature walks, farms and local community spaces. We also meet regularly with other childminders so the children can socialise, build friendships and experience a wide range of environments beyond my setting.
I believe in strong communication with parents and provide regular updates so you always feel connected to your child's day.
If you're looking for a friendly, reliable and nurturing setting where your child can thrive, please feel free to get in touch. I’d be happy to answer any questions or arrange a visit.
My Experience
My experience ranges from newborns to teenagers, and as a mum of four children aged 2 to 14, I bring both professional and personal understanding to my childcare approach. I have previously worked in nursery settings and in partnership with other childminders, giving me a well-rounded background in early years care. I work confidently within the EYFS framework and am committed to helping each child learn, grow and reach their full potential.
