General Information
Hello, I’m Christina ?
I am an Ofsted-registered childminder with three years’ experience and I am proud to have recently achieved a Good rating from Ofsted. Before moving into early years, I spent six years working as a qualified primary school teacher, mainly with children in Years 1–4 (ages 5–9). I also previously worked as a nanny during school holidays, caring for children aged from 18 months to 8 years.
My setting is designed to feel like a home-from-home, with a strong emphasis on play-based learning and helping children grow in confidence. We have a secure garden with a dedicated play area including a pirate ship, sandpit, two slides, a paddling pool and a small seesaw.
We’re lucky to be within walking distance of Pinhoe Library and several parks, and I love getting out and about with the children. We regularly visit local places such as Greendale, World of Country Life, Seaton, Sidmouth, Exmouth beach and local toddler groups.
My aim is always to support each child as an individual—building a curriculum based around their interests, encouraging independence, and helping them flourish in a safe, caring and nurturing environment.
