My Summary
Neurodivergent-Friendly Childminder | Calm & Nurturing
About Me
Hi, my name is Toni and I am a warm and caring childcare provider based in Bournemouth BH8, currently completing my Ofsted registration.
I offer a calm, nurturing home-from-home environment where children feel safe, supported and understood. I have a particular passion for supporting neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD, autism and additional needs, and I provide a gentle, structured approach tailored to each child.
I work in line with the EYFS framework, supporting learning through play, routine and positive relationships. I have a spacious home and garden with a range of toys and educational activities to support development, as well as regular trips out to local parks and the community.
I offer flexible childcare, including daytime care, babysitting and overnight care, to support families with different routines and needs. I am also able to drive, allowing for outings and school runs where required.
Please feel free to message me if you would like more information or to join my waiting list
My Experience
I have over 14 years’ experience working in care and support roles, supporting both adults and children with a range of needs including autism, ADHD and other additional needs. My work has focused on providing safe, person-centred care, building strong, trusting relationships and supporting emotional wellbeing through calm, consistent and structured approaches.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals with communication differences, sensory needs and behaviours that may challenge, and I am confident in adapting routines and environments to meet each individual’s needs. I understand the importance of patience, consistency and creating a predictable, low-stress environment where children can feel secure and supported.
My background has involved supporting daily routines, emotional regulation, behaviour support strategies and promoting independence in a way that is respectful and child-centred. I take a gentle, nurturing approach while also providing clear boundaries and structure to help children feel safe and confident.
Through my training and hands-on experience, I am able to recognise triggers, support transitions and respond calmly to a range of behaviours, always prioritising the child’s wellbeing and development. I aim to create a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels valued, understood and able to thrive at their own pace.
