About Me

Hello! My name is Kayley and I’m a dedicated, caring, and experienced, with over 20 years of experience in childcare. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive at their own pace. With a strong foundation in early years development and a warm, home-from-home setting, I provide tailored care that supports each child’s individual needs. I believe in the power of play-based learning, healthy routines, and strong partnerships with parents to ensure every child feels happy, secure, and confident every day.

My Experience

With over 20 years of experience in childcare, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of roles that have shaped my nurturing and professional approach. I began my journey as a childcare provider for holiday companies, creating fun and safe environments for children while families traveled. I then worked as a nanny for several families, offering personalized, one-on-one care and building strong bonds with both children and parents. Most recently, I served as a preschool leader, where I planned and led engaging early years activities, supported children’s development, and guided a team of staff in delivering high-quality care and education.

My Qualifications

I am fully qualified with an NVQ Level 3 in Childcare and hold all the essential certifications to ensure a safe and professional service. I am DBS checked, first aid trained, and have completed safeguarding and food hygiene training. I also hold a clean driving licence, allowing me to offer safe and reliable transport when needed.

My Availability

I offer childminding services Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, all year round, providing flexible and reliable care to suit your family’s needs. In addition to full and part-time childcare, I also offer before and after school care for children attending Linslade Lower School, ensuring a smooth and supportive routine for both parents and children.
