My Summary
About Me
Hello, I’m Zsuzsa, a passionate registered childminder offering a nurturing, stimulating, and safe home-from-home setting in the Dartford, DA1 area, near Burnham Road. My location is also within walking distance of the train station, making drop-offs and pick-ups convenient.
As a mother of three (with children aged 14, 11, and 7 months), I bring extensive personal experience. Our family is also multicultural, promoting an environment of inclusivity and global awareness. Alongside this, I have a professional background as a Registered Mental Health Nurse within the NHS. This clinical background gives me a unique understanding of well-being, resilience, and emotional support, which I seamlessly integrate into my childminding practice.
I have now found my true calling in providing high-quality care, helping little ones learn and flourish. I look forward to welcoming your child into our supportive family environment!
