About Me

My name is Carmel. I am Married with grown up children of my own and we have 10 Grandchildren. Aged range from 1 years old to 24 years old

My Experience

Carmel Browne – Experienced Childminder

Hello! I’m Carmel Browne, a warm and nurturing childminder with over 25 years of experience in education, working in children centres and Nurseries throughout Islington and Hackney. I've also run stay and play sessions for parents and carers

I believe childhood should be filled with exploration, creativity, and connection. That’s why I spend much of our time outdoors, in our allotment spece we call "The Growing Kitchen" where we grow our own fruit and vegetables to harvest and eat—whether it's enjoying nature in local parks or attending engaging group sessions that allow children to play, socialise, and grow together.

With a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, development through play, and lots of fresh air, I strive to create a spaces where every child feels happy, confident, and encouraged to be themselves.

If you're looking for a caring and experienced childminder who values outdoor adventures and social learning, I’d love to hear from you!

A warm and inviting home environment fosters children's confidence and happiness in this childcare setting. Strong emphasis is placed on developing communication, language, and mathematical skills, with children making good progress from their starting points. The promotion of inclusion and diversity is a key feature, teaching children to treat people equally. While children acquire essential skills for future learning, there is room for improvement in engaging parents to support more rapid progress.
