About Me

*LittleFigs Childminding*
OFSTED REGISTERED

*We are fully booked for the moment*

For the last five years I have been a Teacher and then Deputy Head at a lovely nursery called Miss Daisy's Chelsea. Before that I was a Montessori Teacher, teaching children between the ages of 1 and 6 years old.

I grew up in London and realised from a very early age that I absolutely loved children and was passionate about supporting their development and learning. Through my teaching I have seen how important the Early Years are and how these experiences can have a huge impact on a child's life.

I am a parent myself (to my 17 month year old son, Rudy) and I know how hard it is to find a reliable childcare setting that offers an inspiring child-led curriculum while also being a safe and nurturing space.

This is why I set up LittleFigs Childminding, a home from home nursery where all children who walk through our doors get the opportunity to learn in a fun, warm and stimulating environment. Your little one will learn at their own pace through creative hands-on learning experiences, so that they can reach their full potential.

> 5 minutes from Forest Hill Station on Devonshire Road.
> We have a large garden and a brand new purpose built garden room.
> Free - flow between indoors and outdoors.
> Written observations and feedback for parents via our easy to use app.
> Serving healthy food with ORGANIC meals (includes breakfast, lunch and tea).
> At LittleFigs we want to promote a healthy lifestyle, children will learn about different foods, get a chance to grow some in the garden and enjoy lots of cooking and baking.
> We have many resources and activities set up across the whole of our home, which will be changed and adapted to the children's interests and needs.
> Visits to the local parks, community spaces, playgroups and museums (all a short walking distance).
> We encourage children to learn about different cultures by celebrating global weeks and festivals, sharing different traditions from around the world.
