About Me
Hi, I'm Lucky, a dedicated and professional childminder working in partnership with a reputable, Ofsted-registered agency known for its high standards in childcare. As a mum of three wonderful girls, I understand the importance of creating a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where children can thrive.
With a solid background in both childcare and working with young adults, I bring a wealth of experience, patience, and genuine passion to my work. I’m known for my calm and warm nature, which helps children feel at ease and supported in their early development.
I chose to work through a regulated agency because it gives me access to a wide range of resources, training opportunities, and professional development – ensuring I stay current with best practices and continually improve the care I provide.
Reliability and professionalism are at the core of my service, and I take great pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families. I believe working in partnership is key to providing the best possible service for children and families.
My Experience
I bring over 13 years of experience in childcare and family support services. I’m a qualified and passionate childminder working in partnership with a professional, Ofsted-registered agency that shares my commitment to high standards and ongoing development.
My childcare journey began at one of the largest and most respected children’s centres in London, which consistently achieved ‘Outstanding’ ratings. During my time there, I worked closely with a range of multi-agency professionals, including art therapists, speech and language specialists, and health teams — all under one roof. This multidisciplinary environment gave me a deep understanding of how to support the whole child, not just in care but in their developmental, emotional, and educational needs.
Throughout my time there, I held several leadership roles. I led a busy and vibrant under-3s room with up to 24 children, coordinating 8–9 staff members and international students on a daily basis. The room was always buzzing with energy and purpose, creating a rich environment for children's growth. Due to the success of my leadership, I was later asked to lead the under-2s room and eventually moved across various age groups, including 3–5-year-olds, adapting my skills and approaches each time.
In addition to room leadership, I volunteered as a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo), gaining valuable experience in planning and implementing Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) using the SMART approach — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound targets.
Beyond early years, I’ve also worked extensively with young people in after-school clubs, organising activities such as football, snooker, cooking, and basketball — providing fun, structure, and mentorship.
My career also includes supporting adults with mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and substance misuse. In my role as Deputy Care Manager, I was proud to be promoted due to my dedication and ability to build trust and stability for those in my care — many of whom I supported to remain in the community rather than being hospitalised.
Now, as a mother of three and a childminder, I feel incredibly privileged to continue this journey. I chose to work with a regulated agency because it offers excellent training, resources, and support — helping me continue to grow professionally and give my very best to the children I care for.
