About Me

Hello, my name is Skye and I live in Mistley, Manningtree with my other half Alex and my two little girls. Here at Skye’s Childminding we love messy play, a walk to the park or woods and lots of free play.
My aim is to create a home away from home for your littles ones.
I recived GOOD rating from ofsted in September 2025 and have been doing Childminding’s for 2 years.

My Experience

I have worked as a school photographer working with different aged children within many different schools and after going onto maternity I decided to finally make the leap into caring for children and going into childminding.
I have a paediatric first aid certificate, Level 3 home-based childcare qualification, level 2 food hygiene and safety, Speech and language and safeguarding qualifications

A warm and welcoming environment forms the foundation of this childcare setting. Children benefit from a nurturing atmosphere that promotes independence and learning. The childminder demonstrates a clear understanding of each child, planning effectively for individual learning needs. There is a strong focus on developing communication and language skills, with regular outdoor activities supporting physical development. While partnerships with parents are very strong, the childminder could improve by simplifying questions for children and allowing more time for responses.

Skye looked after my little from 10months old and she was so lovely, she listen to everything that I asked and kept to my same routine. Skye was always so caring and did so much with the children. I always had lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Thoroughly recommend.

It’s so nice to see your child happy in someone else’s care. Skye brings so much joy and comfort to looking after the children and making sure they are having the best time in her home. She’s so lovely and keeps you updated with everything regarding what your child is doing throughout their day. Would highly recommend to anyone that struggles leaving their child in someone else’s care. My little girl gets so excited to see Skye and spend the day with her. She does lots of activities and has a great day everytime.

Skye is a lovely childminder, who offers a home from home feeling! My son was welcomed into her home and was always well cared for. Skye also always offered activities and learning opportunities as well as taking him for days out. He always looks forward to his days with Skye, and would always come home with a huge smile. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for childcare
