My Summary
Cheeky Cherubs Childminding
About Me
Hey there! I’m a Level 3 qualified Early Years Practitioner and an Ofsted registered Childminder, with a passion for child development and childcare. With three little ones of my own, I know just how important it is to create a fun and engaging environment for kids. Here’s a bit more about me and my awesome setting:
With over 8 years of experience working with children of various ages in a nursery setting, I’ve now embraced childminding to care for my own three kids while providing a childcare service underpinned by the EYFS framework. My approach celebrates individuality and encourages learning through each child’s unique interests, making every day a fun and enjoyable experience. Learning is tailored to challenge each child at their own pace.
Cheeky Cherubs Childminding is nestled in Bushby, close to Thurnby, Houghton-On-The-Hill, Stoughton, Billesdon, and Evington, and is your child’s home away from home. We offer a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can dive into a variety of activities, including:
• Messy, creative, and role play
• Sensory and construction play
• Reading, music, and dance
• Physical activities - our secure enclosed garden and access to three play parks mean our outings are always packed with active fun and adventure!
• Plus…we offer nutritional meals tailored to any dietary needs.
We use an online system that I’ll guide you through. This dynamic platform handles child registrations and tracks development with photos and observations, so you can always keep up with your child’s learning journey.
As a parent, I know how tricky transitions and settling in can be, that’s why I ensure an honest and reliable approach to support you and your child as needed.
I have an Ofsted registration certificate, enhanced DBS certificate, and the required insurance certificates - all available to view on request.
My Experience
I’ve been working with children for over 8 years in nursery settings, and I’ve had the joy of working with kids of all ages, primarily with the early years age group (0-5).
But don’t just take my word for it! I have references from my last nursery job, available upon request.

Below are the latest reviews for Cheeky C. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
We honestly cannot speak highly enough of Cheeky Cherubs Childminding. From the very beginning, our son has been made to feel so welcome, safe and loved. He is picked up from school by the childminders and spends the rest of his day with them, and it truly feels like his second home.
He is incredibly well settled and completely at ease with the childminders (Krishna, Manisha and Shivani) and the other children. As parents, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your child is somewhere they feel safe, happy and genuinely at home.
What impresses us most is that the care goes far beyond simply keeping the children occupied and making sure they are well fed. The childminders are genuinely invested in our son’s development, learning and school journey. They take the time to understand what he is learning at school and regularly create fun, imaginative games, puzzles and activities to keep him engaged, interested and challenged. It is clear that they put so much thought and effort into helping him learn while making sure he is having fun.
The holidays are equally amazing. He attends full-time throughout the school holidays, and somehow every day feels like a new adventure. From day trips and exciting activities to simply exploring and learning about the world around him, he is constantly experiencing new things. He comes home having learned something new and with a story to tell.
And the best part? When we pick him up, he is always full of smiles. He cannot wait to tell us everything he has been up to that day, the adventures he has had and, of course, all about the delicious meals he has eaten!
As parents, we genuinely feel that our son is cared for like a member of their own family. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and no request is too big. The level of communication between the setting and us as parents is outstanding. We always feel listened to, informed and reassured, and we know that our son is in the very best hands.
We are incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful childcare setting. The love, care, effort and dedication that goes into looking after our son does not go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate everything you do for him.
Thank you for giving him a safe, happy and nurturing second home, for encouraging his learning, for creating so many wonderful experiences and, most importantly, for making him so incredibly happy. We are so grateful for you all.
Outstanding childcare in every sense of the word — we couldn’t recommend you highly enough! Thank you!!

We are so grateful for your kind words and lovely feedback. ❤️ Your little one is an absolute joy, and we’re delighted to be part of their journey. Thank you for trusting us with their care and for taking the time to share your experience. 🥰
We truly couldn’t have asked for a more caring and wonderful place for our son. From the moment he started, it was clear how much love, patience, and dedication goes into looking after the children at Cheeky Cherubs. Our son has grown so much in confidence and happiness, and he absolutely loves going each day. Knowing he is in such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment gives us complete peace of mind as parents. It really feels like a home away from home for him.
Everyday is different for our little one , there’s always fun , educational activities planned and Krishna is always so attentive to what my son requires.( Krishna also offers a halal meal which is quite hard to find in other nurseries/settings.)
We are so grateful for the kindness, support, and genuine care shown to our little boy. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Krishna I would not change it in any way. We couldn’t recommend this setting more highly.
5 stars!!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words and wonderful feedback! It’s an absolutely joy having your little one as a part of the Cheeky Cherubs family :)
We transitioned our son to Krishna's setting after two years at a nursery. Despite continuous efforts, he never settled at the nursery. The moment we switched to Krishna, everything changed. The difference was instant and our son settled immediately.
Krishna provides a loving, structured, and genuinely caring environment. It truly feels like a "home away from home". She is dedicated, always engaging the children with thoughtful activities.
We love that she perfectly balances indoor and outdoor activities, ensuring the kids are constantly learning, exploring, and moving.
We are grateful to have found Krishna. We recommend her without hesitation.

Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. Your little one is a joy and we’re so delighted to have him as a part of the cheeky cherubs family.
Words honestly can’t express how grateful we are to have found Krishna. From the very beginning, she and her lovely family have welcomed our little girl with so much warmth, love, and care. They truly feel like a second family to us now, and we consider ourselves so lucky to have them in our lives.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Krishna’s – she literally runs to the door every morning with the biggest smile on her face, and more often than not, she doesn’t want to leave when it’s time to come home! It’s such a joy to see how happy and settled she is there. It’s clear how much effort Krishna puts into making each day full of fun, learning, and nurturing care.
What’s really special is how Krishna treats every child as if they were her own. She’s so attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about what she does. The activities she plans are thoughtful and creative – from crafts and messy play to outdoor adventures and story time. There’s always something exciting going on, and it’s been amazing to watch our daughter grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity since starting there.
As a parent, it means the world to feel that peace of mind each day, knowing our child is not just safe, but truly happy and thriving. Krishna communicates so openly and always keeps us updated, which we really appreciate. It's so clear how much she cares – and that care shines through in everything she does.
Honestly, I don’t know what we’d do without her now. Krishna has made such a difference to our family’s life – not just for our daughter, but for us too. We’re beyond thankful for her kindness, her commitment, and the wonderful, loving environment she provides

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and kind words. We’re delighted to have you as part of the Cheeky Cherubs family and feel so lucky to be part of your little one’s journey - she truly is a joy! :)
Our daughter has been going to Krishna for almost 6 months. As 1st time parents, we were unsure about nursery vs childminder, I can honestly say this was the best decision we made for our daughter- Krishna and her family are caring and considerate and it’s easy to see she truly loves the children that come to her. It’s reassuring for us as parents that our child gets one to one care and attention and it speaks volumes when she talks about how much she misses Krishna when she’s not around. Importantly, we get daily updates via the app and regular progress updates too so we are confident with the developmental input our child is receiving whilst at Cheeky Cherubs. Thank you for everything you do for our little troublemaker!

I highly recommend Cheeky Cherubs Childminding. My daughter has been attending for a few months now and she absolutely loves it. She is never bored, she tells me about all the activities she has done and every weekend she is excited to return. My daughter absolutely adores Krishna and never wants to leave when I come to collect her. She has moved from a nursery environment where she was struggling, to a home from home environment with still lots of activities and she is absolutely thriving. We cannot be happier as a family, especially knowing she is in safe hands.

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! We so love being a part of her journey and look forward to seeing her everyday ☺️
Having my little one through a global pandemic was hard, my little one only ever knew being with mummy and daddy for such a long time and didn't take well to change, after letting my guard down and setting with a nursery it was time for more support (oh no more change!) we found Krishna on our local estate and ever since the first message she was so polite and professional. Krishna made us feel reassured and welcomed at all times. My little one instantly feels at home as soon as he steps foot into her home, I enjoy getting the updates throughout the day (which I get so much more from Krishna than the local nursery!). We love sitting down every Thursday afternoon chatting about what he got up to that day, Krishna understands what it's like to be a mother and that honestly makes all the difference. Forever thankful to her for taking care of our baby

This is so lovely to hear, thank you so much for the feedback. It’s an absolute pleasure having your little one as part of the Cheey Cherubs family!
Cheecky Cherubs is a great place for your child. My now 11 months old loves her childminder Krishna.She settled very quickly.
She’s always happy to see Krishna everytime l drop her off. Im happy my daughters week is always filled with so much fun activities like drawing, reading, going to parks, library, dancing, painting, going for walks etc. Krishna provides a wide range of food which my daughter loves.
l always look forward to the lovely pictures of what they did throughout the day. Im happy i found a place that my baby loves and her growth and development is well supported.
I cant not recommend Cheeky Cherubs enough, l love their excellent service. Krishna is absolutely great with kids. It really is home away from home for your little ones. l definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to start their baby with a childminder.
