Funville Home Nursery
About Me
Hello and welcome!
My name is Mistura, preferably to be called Fola, and I’m the proud Owner of Funville Tiney Home Nursery. With a deep passion for early childhood development and up to a decade of experience in nurturing young minds including my beautiful and handsome 4 children, I’ve dedicated my career to creating a safe, joyful, and inspiring environment where every child can flourish.
I believe that the early years are the most magical, a time when children are naturally curious, full of wonder, and eager to explore the world around them. My goal is to support each child’s unique journey by providing care that is both loving and purposeful. Whether it’s their first time away from home or preparing for the next stage of their learning, I strive to make every moment count.
At Funville Tiney Home Nursery we value play-based learning, emotional well-being, creativity, and strong partnerships with families. I take great pride in creating a space where children feel respected, heard, and celebrated for who they are.
Thank you for considering us to be part of your child’s early years. I look forward to welcoming you and your little one to our nursery family!
Warm regards,
Fola
Childminder.
My Experience
Working with children has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences of my life. Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of supporting young learners during their most important developmental years, helping them grow in confidence, curiosity, and kindness. I am a mother of 4 amazing, smart children. My experience spans across a variety of settings including [nurseries, preschools, early years classrooms, Sunday schools], where I’ve worked with children aged 9 months to 8 years. I have supported children’s learning through play-based activities, structured routines, outdoor exploration, and meaningful one-on-one interactions that help build trust and confidence.
I am especially passionate about:
Creating a warm, inclusive, and stimulating learning environment
Supporting social and emotional development through positive reinforcement
Encouraging independence and problem-solving
Observing and understanding each child’s unique learning style
Building strong relationships with parents and carers to support holistic development
Every child I work with teaches me something new — about resilience, creativity, and the joy of simple moments. I feel incredibly lucky to play a role in shaping their early experiences and preparing them for their next steps in life and learning.

Funville is an exceptional home. She gave my son the homely care so much that it's always a struggle for him to leave daily.
Although it was the first time of leaving outside the space of our home, yet, he received Funville with so much joy and she relieved us of all the fears. In fact, she helped prepare him for nursery.
Even though I pack lunch box, he literally leaves it because he enjoys the meals from school.
I recommend Funville any day and any time.
