My Summary
About Me
My name is Carmel. I have worked with children for over 20 years in various settings. I enjoy experiencing the outdoors with the children as i feel it helps with their development and overall well-being.
My Experience
Hello! I’m Carmel Browne, a warm and nurturing childminder with over 20 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. During this, the children learn about healthy eating and its importance too, which i feel is also crucial for their development.
With a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, development through play, and lots of fresh air, I strive to create a space 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!
