Hi there,
My name is Julia and I am a Qualified Teacher with 10+ years of experience in childcare (2 as a preschool manager in an Ofsted rated outstanding setting). I am also a mum of two little girls and I have decided on a change of career in order to spend more time at home.
I live in Hook (KT9) and I have a little setting at the back of my property with access to the garden for lots of outdoor play which I’m very passionate about.
If you’re currently considering your childcare arrangements and are interested in finding out more please contact me.
Many thanks!

The moment we met Julia me and my partner immediately knew we had found the perfect childminder for our son, we both just felt comfortable and a ease straight away and I am a very good judge of character and this was someone I knew off the bat I could trust with my child. So we was happy to wait for a place.
To make things even better she has the experience, qualifications, and a history as a professional looking after children.
From day 1 Theo never cried on drop offs and aways wanted to stay longer he was clearly happy, engaged and never wanted to leave most days he would have so much fun he would skip naps.
Julia was also Great at providing daily feedback via whats app regarding food play
And activities coupled with images showing vast variations of play scenarios set up. Its no wonder Theo did not want to leave!
Also we value and care deeply about our childs diet and food we feel the home cooked meals made with love she provided a was amazing this is truly a home from home for any child and any who can get a place for there child here has stuck gold.

What I loved most about Julia was her incredibly gentle and thoughtful approach, especially during the settling-in period. She handled those first days with so much care and attention to both my son’s well-being and mine as a mother. Leaving your child for the first time, especially after a whole year spent together, can be emotional and anxiety-provoking. But Julia made the transition feel safe, natural, and completely respectful of our pace.
My son was always excited to go to her. He loved the activities she prepared every day, from sensory play to stories, outdoor time, and simple creative moments that made him come home happy and fulfilled. Her environment is warm and calm, and she has a lovely garden outside that my son really loved. She communicates kindly and clearly, making parents feel truly included and reassured.
Omar will miss you and Carla very much xx

My daughter had the best experience at Julia's setting, the last year before going to school. We moved my daughter from another nursery, in which she was quite unsettled. From day one, my baby girl felt welcomed, valued and understood. Julia's has a magical approach to connect with little ones on their level, and gets the best out of them. She organised wide range fun outdoors activities, making them happy and stress-free. Absolutely loved seeing my girl thriving, learning new skills and achieving.
I love Julia's calm and relaxed approach. She is professional and well-organised, patient and warm. I appreciate Julia's constructive and genuine feedback.
I highly recommend Julia's care. It's been always a pure joy and pleasure dealing with you. Thank you, x.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care that Julia provided to both of my children. From the very start, she showed genuine warmth and attentiveness, making my children feel safe, secure, and completely at ease. She took the time to really understand their individual needs, nurturing them in a way that allowed each child to flourish.
Julia played a pivotal role in helping my children reach important developmental milestones. Her thoughtful approach to learning and play created an environment where they could explore, grow, and thrive. Both of my children looked forward to their time with her, always returning home happy and excited to share what they had learned.
As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind to know that my children were in such capable and caring hands. I truly appreciate her dedication and the safe, loving environment she provided.

Julia has looked after my youngest two sons in her previous role as preschool manager and I really cannot recommend her enough. She has a lovely warm manner with the children, creative a safe, calm but fun learning environment. My boys really loved her and I wouldn't hesitate to her look after them in her beautiful new setting as a childminder.
