My Summary
About Me
Hola! I'm Andrea
After many years working in nurseries, I've decided to follow my passion and create my own childcare space right in my home. I've designed a warm, welcoming environment that I believe is a paradise for children—a place where they can fully develop their potential and feel valued. I'm also bilingual and love teaching Spanish to the children in my care.
I am agency registered as I share their values of fostering strong, loving relationships and supporting children in small, attentive groups. In my setting, children learn through play, receive plenty of individual attention, and have their unique abilities nurtured. I currently have spaces available for an immediate start and would love to welcome your child into our joyful, supportive community! Find me in cheeky minds childcare website as well.

Andreas setting is very lovely and easy for children to adapt to...like home away from home.
My little boy had never been to a childminder before this so we were very anxious, Andrea was great at helping him settle seamlessly.
Her staffs are well trained and always available to assist.
I highly recommend Andrea. My boy integrated quickly and was able to cope within a short time.
Thank you Andrea.

Andrea and her team are absolutely wonderful. They genuinely care for the children and go above and beyond every day. I love that they make learning fun by teaching Spanish in everyday activities, as well as very creative. and they always provide such good, healthy food. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my little girl is safe, happy, well-fed, and learning new things every day.
Communication with parents is excellent — I always feel updated and reassured about how my child is doing.
Sofía is always happy and excited to go. So if you looking for a childminder I highly recommend cheeky minds childcare.

Andrea cared for my two children in my home providing different activities and also teaching them Spanish, and I'm delighted that she is now providing her own space for childcare. She has extensive experience with early years, I highly recommended her.
