My Summary
About Me
I'm Ellie, and I have been registered with Ofsted through a childminder agency since February 2025. I will be the key person for mindees, with occasional assistance from my wife Mim who is also a registered childminder. We have lived in Braintree for five years, and have two cats called Eppie and Scally. Our setting is LGBTQ+ friendly, vegan friendly, with a focus on sustainability and we are passionate about nature-inspired, play-based learning.
My Experience
Although we are newly-registered and have no children of our own, there are a large number of children amongst our extended family and friends (ranging from 0-10 years), who bring so much joy to our lives, and we love spending time with them, and it is with them that our experience has so far been gained.
"I have no doubt that Ellie will make a great childminder. They have taken care of our son independently on numerous occasions at various ages and particularly from 6 months up.
They’re attentive and attuned to his needs. Ellie’s playful nature tees up fabulously with young children."
My Qualifications
I have completed online EYFS childminder training through my agency, as well as paediatric first aid and government Safeguarding training.
My Availability
Available Monday-Friday 8am-6pm. Immediate availability for ongoing private placements (0-5 years) and short-term holiday care (0-11 years). Expecting to offer funded placements from January 2026 onwards.
