About Me
I am an army musician and my husband a scientific sales manager. We have a 2 beautiful boys, Dexter who is 1 in February 2027 and Felix who will be turning 3 at the end of September.
We are looking for a childminder or nursery to look after them whilst we are working.
We are looking for a childminder/nursery to be flexible with my working pattern (- A contract where we can discuss suitable with notice periods if we need to change any days) and we want to use the government childcare scheme to help with funding which we have a code for.
My Requirements

Emma had our son Felix for one academic year.
Emma has a beautiful house with a lovely playroom setting, safe drop off with a large drive and brilliant garden for them to use.
Emma took Felix to farms, soft play and playgroups so he got to experience different places and socialise with other children than just his childminder setting.
We communicated via WhatsApp to check in on how Felix was doing and Emma supported us with some of the challenges that comes with those big two year old emotions!
Emma has very good policies in place for illnesses and child safety, made clear in her documentation. We always Felix was very safe in her care which is so important when you’re leaving your child with someone!
We’d like to thank Emma for all her hard work with Felix and feel she has helped shaped his next move into nursery. Thank you very much!
A very professional and kind childminder!
My son started with Adita in September 2024.
We could have not asked for a more caring, loving and supportive childminder.
As for every parent, it is daunting to ensure your trust in someone with your baby and even after they first meeting I knew Adita was the right fit.
We receive regular daily updates on his activities which range from playgroup with other children, outdoor time in her fabulous garden, story and playtime with great educational content as well.
Our son’s behaviour, speech and overall learning has really thrived and we believe Adita has worked hard with him to improve his learning everyday.
Adita provides extra snack and refreshments at all times, is very attentive with his well-being - always suggesting or highlighting as issues to help us navigate being first time parents which has been very very helpful.
My job can be quite unpredictable with working hours and I want to mention that here possible Adita has always gone above and beyond to help us with swapping and changing days around.
We are so sad to move on, but have to move for work, otherwise we would keep Adita for as long as possible!
I feel like she’s become a part of the family in such a short time and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone wanting excellent care for their child.
Thank you so much Adita, our son, and we!, will miss you ever so much.
