About Me

I am a trilingual Montessori trained and OFSTED registered childminder based in Muscliff near Epiphany school. I am a Kenyan born British national, a wife and mother to a 8 year old girl. I believe children are born with an innate need to learn and that they are drawn to what they need to learn at different stages and ages in their development. I therefore, do observations and from these, I learn the needs of the child, prepare an environment that meets these needs by providing materials, activities, space and time whilst following the EYFS. I give a Child centered approach to Learning and Development. I am hardworking, ambitious and determined. I am a member of PACEY

My Experience

I have experience working in an authentic Montessori setting in Bournemouth where I also completed my training and learning.

My Qualifications

IAO level 3 Diploma in Early Learning and Childcare (Early Years Educator), Level 4 Montessori Diploma, Safeguarding, Pediatric First Aid, Food Hygiene, Fire Safety and I am always looking to further my knowledge through new courses and refreshers.

Children thrive in a nurturing environment that employs Montessori methods to support learning and development. The setting is warm and welcoming, with excellent support for communication and language skills. Self-care and problem-solving are encouraged through various activities, including sensory play and nature walks. While the curriculum is broad, incorporating games for balance and coordination, there's room for improvement in consistently extending children's immediate interests and developing their upper body strength to support early writing skills.

Caroline is an absolutely amazing childminder and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She has looked after my little one since he was just 5 months old, and from the very beginning I have always felt completely at ease leaving him in her care.

My 1-year-old absolutely adores Caroline and they have built such a lovely, trusting relationship together, which says so much about her natural warmth and caring nature. She is incredibly friendly and nurturing, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after.

Caroline is fantastic at providing regular updates and keeping me informed, which I really appreciate. She is also brilliant at targeting activities and provision to meet my child’s individual needs and developmental targets.

Knowing my little one is happy, settled, and well cared for makes all the difference, and Caroline truly goes above and beyond. I feel very lucky to have found her.

My 1 year old son goes to Caroline and he loves to be there with Caroline. He seems very happy and content and well settled with her. They do different activities and goes out for regular strolls to the nearby park. Caroline looks after him very well and provides personalised care. I will highly recommend her to any of my friends.
