Melinda
Childminder in Walton-on-Thames
My Summary
About Me
My name is Melinda and I am a friendly, reliable childminder based in Walton-on-Thames, living close to Grovelands Primary School and within walking distance of Xcel Leisure Complex, the river, the town centre and library. I also have access to a local allotment, which provides wonderful opportunities for outdoor learning.
I have recently passed my Ofsted registration visit and am excited to be starting my journey as a registered childminder. Although newly registered, I bring over 12 years of experience working with children of different ages.
I offer a safe, nurturing and stimulating home-from-home environment where children feel happy, secure and confident to learn and grow. My setting includes a dedicated playroom next to an open-plan kitchen, with direct access to a secure garden for outdoor play and exploration.
I provide fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning through play, both indoors and outdoors, in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). I am passionate about supporting each child’s individual development and interests, and I work closely with parents to ensure every child’s needs are met.
My Experience
I have 12 years of experience working with children, both professionally and as a parent, caring for my own children from birth to 8 years old. I have worked as an Au Pair, Nanny, Teaching Assistant and Early Years Practitioner, supporting children of various ages in home and educational settings.
This experience has helped me develop a nurturing, reliable approach to childcare, supporting children’s learning, wellbeing and development.
