My setting offers convenient access to Heathrow Airport, Bath Road, M4, A312 The Parkway, A30, A4, making it ideally positioned for families commuting or residing in the area.
As an Ofsted-registered childminder, my inspection received a "Good" rating, highlighting my commitment to maintaining high standards. I adhere to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, ensuring that I provide a nurturing environment where children can feel secure and are encouraged to realise their full potential.
Residing with my husband and our three children. Our home offers a warm, loving, and non-smoking environment. My approach to childcare is friendly and trustworthy, focusing on engaging with children in a manner that promotes their play and learning. The array of toys and resources at our disposal, along with the encouragement to explore new activities, aids in the development of children’s independence, resilience and learning across all area of the curriculum.
Our spacious, fenced garden is equipped with a variety of outdoor activities, including slides, a playhouse, a vegetable bed, a sandpit, and water activities during the summer, alongside an outdoor sheltered area. The presence of a local park nearby further enriches our outdoor offerings.

My Experience
Having three young sons has afforded me invaluable firsthand childcare experience, guiding my approach to planning engaging activities and outings that foster learning, socialisation, and skill development. Our family’s passion for cooking and active participation in local playgroups and community events reflect our commitment to a holistic approach to childcare. Additionally, my experience working with a child with ASD during a summer holiday has enriched my understanding and capability in special educational needs (SEN) childcare.
I am dedicated to my personal and professional development, continually seeking opportunities to enhance my skills and knowledge in the field of childcare.

Finding the right person to care for your children is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make, and we feel truly blessed that we found Leda Haddad.
Leda has cared for both of our children, and from the very first day, she has given us something that is priceless as parents — complete peace of mind. We have always known that our children were not simply being looked after, but were being genuinely cared for, understood, encouraged and loved.
Leda has an incredibly warm and nurturing nature. She creates a beautiful environment where children feel safe, valued and confident to be themselves. She is attentive to every little detail, understands each child’s individual personality and needs, and always goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, engaged and thriving.
What makes Leda truly special is the genuine love and dedication she brings to her work. She puts her heart into everything she does. Whether it is learning, playing, creative activities, outdoor adventures or simply giving a child the comfort and reassurance they need, she is always fully present and caring.
We have watched our children grow in confidence, independence and social skills while in Leda’s care, and we know that her kindness, encouragement and positive influence have played a very important part in that.
Leda is also exceptionally professional, reliable and trustworthy. Her communication with us has always been excellent, and we have always felt respected, listened to and completely reassured.
We would recommend Leda Haddad if you are looking for a childminder who combines professionalism with genuine warmth, exceptional care and a true passion for children, Leda is exactly the person you hope to find.
We honestly could not have wished for anyone better to care for our children. Leda has been an incredibly special part of their early years, and we will always be deeply grateful for the care, love and dedication she has given them.
An exceptional childminder, a truly caring person, and someone we would wholeheartedly recommend to any family!!! ❤️
Thank you for All Leda !!!

Thanks so much! ☺️
Leda was recommended to me by my previous childminder, who she had bumped into on occasions and she was very taken by how kind Leda was with the children in her care. Leda was so lovely from the moment that I met her that I didn't even look at other childminders. My little boy loves going there and Leda goes out of her way to make him welcome and she always has activities planned that he loves doing. Her own boys are just lovely too and my son adores them. Leda does really healthy tasty meals and snacks and she has a lovely big house with a purposeful play room full of toys as well as a lovely safe garden. When I drop my son at Leda's I am assured that he will be safe, well fed and looked after, but also that he feels that he belongs and that he matters, so I highly recommend Leda to any parent.

I’m so pleased with the care Leda has provided for my two children. From the very beginning, she has been warm, welcoming, and professional. My kids settled in quickly and always come home happy. She creates a safe, nurturing, and fun environment, with plenty of engaging activities that support both learning and play. I really appreciate the regular updates and the genuine care she shows it gives me great peace of mind knowing my children are in such good hands my children absolutely adores her, and it's clear she takes the time to really understand and support their individual needs. Watching my children grow in confidence and happiness under her care is a joy, what sets her apart is not just her professionalism, but her genuine care and dedication. She goes above and beyond to support both my children and our family as a whole whether it's offering flexibility when needed, communicating openly and honestly, or simply being a kind and calming influence.
Thank you for everything you do, I couldn't ask for a better childminder you have been an incredibly supportive and reliable presence in our lives, and I truly appreciate you!
Highly Recommened!

Thank you Crystal, that means alot to me.
Leda is a great childcare provider. We were worried about changing our children from a nanny to a childminder but changing over to Leda was such a smooth and easy experience! Our children felt comfortable from the moment they met her and now look forward to their days with Leda. She’s extremely professional and makes sure all children are cared for safely. The children complete some great activities with Leda and she does lots to support their learning. Our children love the nutritious meals she provides and since going to Leda their tastebuds have massively developed. They are more open to trying new foods and eat a lot better at meal times than before! Not only does Leda look after the children in her care well, she also makes sure that she is flexible and is very supportive of parents needs which can be hard to find.

I can’t recommend Leda enough! My son initially started going to a small nursery but something didn’t feel right, we felt like he wasn’t getting the attention he needs. Then we found Leda and my son has never been happier. We can tell Leda takes really good care of him and pays him the attention he needs. We have seen a massive development in his speech since he started going to Leda’s. He is super happy every we drop him off at hers. Leda offers healthy snacks to our son every day and now our picky eater is eating lots of fruits. Leda finds nice actives to do with our son, sometimes they go to the park for long walks, other days they got to playgroups, etc. Leda is great at keeping us posted while our son is with her. She always sends lovely pictures of the activities they do and updates us about the food he has eaten, nappies, sleep, etc. Can’t ask for a better childminder.

Thank you so much for your lovely words ☺️
Leda is an absolutely amazing child minder to my 10 month baby who has a lot of energy and is exploring more than ever. Leda takes the time to really help educate and develop my child’s skills, she has taught him how to clap and wave and spends a lot of time reading, singing songs and playing with him, just what he loves. I have no concerns as her house is very well equipped and baby friendly which i love, yet warm at the same time. Leda ensures to take him to sensory playgroups and libraries at least 2-3 times a week which is great as I am not able too. I am always updated throughout the day with pictures and at the end of the day his feeds, wet nappies and naps. Thank you for being the best I can ask for!

Thank you so much!
My son's first nanny and the best is Leda! Very responsible, kind and caring. Leda looks after my son and he is very happy with Leda. Every day he wakes up and asks *Mom, am I going to Leda today?) I rarely can trust my son, but I boldly trust Leda. She has my son in safe and professional hands. since she has a lot of experience with her 3 kids! very well educated! Reliable, trustworthy and very caring! I'm so glad we found Leda! Thank you very much Leda)

Thank you so much :)
Leda is the best child care we have experienced. She welcomes our two children into her home as extended family and they are so excited to see her each day. Leda keeps us updated throughout the day with pictures and sends a daily update of food, naps and nappies etc. Leda has been accommodating as our needs change and we would be lost without her. We couldn’t be happier for her to be looking after our children!

Leda is very good with our 2 year old. He used to scream and cry going to nursery and having tried Leda a few times a week I felt he much rather went to Leda than to nursery. He quickly adjusted to going to Leda. As a parent I received regular updates throughout the days including photos which you don't instantly get from nurseries. Daily updates on his food, sleep and nappy changes. If you prefer a personalised childcare in a homely environment than I'd highly recommend Leda!
