Heiditin
Childminder in Chislehurst
My Summary
About Me
?I am a passionate, creative, and deeply caring childminder dedicated to providing a "mini world of wonder" for your little ones. My priority is to ensure every child feels safe, loved, and inspired to explore the world around them.
?My Philosophy: Play, Nature, and Curiosity
?My setting is built on a play-based, nature-inspired curriculum. I believe children are "active builders of knowledge," and I provide a rich environment filled with natural materials and open-ended "loose parts" that spark imagination. Whether we are exploring our garden, visiting local parks in Chislehurst, or engaging in "Wiggle and Wobble" physical play, I focus on the holistic development of every child.
?A Global Outlook in a Home Setting
?I love to travel and learn about new cultures, and I bring this passion for diversity and inclusion into my daily practice. We celebrate our differences and unite in our similarities through stories, songs, and community involvement.
?Why Choose My Setting?
?QI Skills Focus: I integrate essential life skills—from self-management (ME) and empathy (WE) to curiosity (WHY) and resilience (WOBBLE).
?Community Oriented: We are regulars at local playgroups and libraries, ensuring children feel a sense of belonging in their wider world.
?Open-Ended Learning: From Pikler triangles and treasure baskets to our Story Sack Lending Library, I provide high-quality resources that grow with your child.
?Strong Partnerships: I use a dedicated app for daily updates, photos, and observations so you never miss a milestone.
Having my own children and navigating the recent years has reshaped my priorities. I chose this career because I want to make a tangible impact on the "best start in life." I see my family and our home as a warm extension of yours.
I can’t wait to welcome you and your child into our little world!
My Experience
Before embarking on my childminding journey, I spent 12 years in the fast-paced world of e-commerce as a Graphic and Web Designer. I worked with iconic British heritage brands like M&S, Mulberry, and House of Fraser.
?My background in fashion photography and design means I bring a unique, creative flair to our daily play. I view the world through a lens of "wonder and excitement," and I am highly skilled at documenting your child’s learning journey with beautiful, clear snapshots and thoughtful observations.
I am a proud mum of two (now aged 10 and 7). Navigating motherhood, and the unique challenges of the recent pandemic, shifted my priorities. It taught me the importance of resilience, the power of a "can-do" attitude (my WILL and WOBBLE skills!), and the value of being present. I want to use my professional drive to make a real impact on the next generation.
