My Summary
About Me
Hello! I’m a friendly, qualified childminder based in Thornbury. I recently moved here with my six-year-old son, so I know how important it is to find childcare that feels comfortable, welcoming, and like a second home.
I offer a warm, homely setting where children can play, learn, explore, and enjoy lots of outdoor fun. I follow the EYFS framework to support each child’s development, but I also make sure their days are filled with joy, creativity, and plenty of opportunities to grow at their own pace.
My son goes to school in the Winterbourne area, so I’m also able to offer drop-offs and pick-ups around Winterbourne during school times.
If you’re looking for a warm, reliable childminder who truly loves their job, I’d be really happy to chat and answer any questions
My Experience
I have 15 years of childcare experience, both in the UK and overseas, which has helped me understand and support children from many different backgrounds. I’m adaptable, caring, and love creating activities that bring out each child’s confidence and personality
My Qualifications
BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies – Provides a strong academic foundation in child development, education theories, and best practices for early years care.
CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Workforce – Equips me with essential practical skills to deliver high-quality childcare and support children's learning and well-being.

I’d highly recommend using Charlene as a childminder. She was absolutely great with my daughter. Having only been with me before, I was surprised at how quickly she formed a bond with Charlene. She always came home talking about how great her day was and even now she has started school, she still refers to Charlene as her childminder and talks about her. Charlene is so friendly and always kept me up to date with what they were doing and sent pictures every day which was lovely to see how much fun my daughter was having.
Thank you Charlene, I’m very grateful x
