My Experience
I am a 33 years young Childminder working from home.
I have references which have a good description of my character with previous Nanny experience, as well as family childcare experience. Prior to childminding, I taught primary school cirriculam in private education. I still offer private tuition but that is a different service which concentrates on phonics, language and elocution.

My child absolutely loves going to her childminders at Play & Learn and always has the best time there! She settled in so quickly, which really put my mind at ease, and she gets along brilliantly with all the childcare practitioners. It’s clear how comfortable and happy she is, and that means the world to me. I also really appreciate the regular updates and feedback I receive through the app – it keeps me connected to her day and gives me peace of mind. It’s such a lovely, caring environment, and I’d highly recommend it to any parent looking for a great place for their little ones.

My little boy first started Play & Learn when he was around 3/4 months old, Reefa and the team made me feel at ease and comfortable leaving him at such an early age. He finished around the age of 7 months (due to personal reasons) but rejoined around 14 months and ABSOLUTELY loves it! All the team are absolutely amazing and it's clear from the offset they all have a passion for looking after the children. He is always exploring, learning and developing new skills which is fantastic for his age. The team always provides daily updates on how he has been along with photos and regularly offers progress updates throughout the year. I would highly recommend this setting to anyone looking, the team are fabulous and I can't thank them enough! My little boy loves his Play and Learn family. Xx

My 16 month old has been coming here for just over a month and is absolutely thriving. My 4 year old also attends after school club here and comes for full days in school holidays, he loves it so much.
Both of my children quickly settled in and it wasn't as daunting as I thought which gave me a sense of relief while at work. You're constantly updated on the app about your child/ren.
All the staff are amazing, they know the kids' routines and my kids are so comfortable with them. It's like a homely setting so when you pick your kids up you can have a natter with the staff and they're so helpful and kind.
I went for a childminder setting as I had bad experiences with nurseries with my son and I'm so glad I went with this one.
The pictures on the app, my kids are always so happy and enjoying themselves and they always have so much artwork they bring home 😂
A bonus for me is that they only serve the kids halal, home cooked meals.
Reefa has helped me so much when I got my job and the girls are amazing.
If you're looking for somewhere to send your kids, I promise you if you choose play & learn, you won't look back
