Camilla
Childminder in Ashford
My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Camilla and I am an Ofsted-registered childminder based in Park Farm, Ashford.
I live with my fiancé, our young daughter, and our two friendly indoor cats. We provide a warm, welcoming family environment where children can feel safe, valued, and supported as they learn and grow.
Our home offers a dedicated playroom filled with age-appropriate resources, as well as comfortable shared spaces for meals, reading, imaginative play, and relaxing. We also have a secure outdoor space where children can enjoy fresh air, physical activity, and opportunities to explore the natural world.
My aim is to provide a caring, home-from-home setting where every child can develop confidence, independence, and a love of learning through play. I believe children learn best when they feel happy, secure, and encouraged to explore their interests at their own pace.
As a parent myself, I understand the importance of finding childcare that you can trust, and I strive to build strong, positive relationships with both children and their families.
My Experience
Although I am newly registered as a childminder, caring for children has been a part of my life for many years.
My mother has been a childminder for over 25 years, so I grew up in a busy childcare environment surrounded by children of different ages. Throughout the years I regularly helped out, interacted with the children, and gained first-hand experience of how a high-quality home-based childcare setting operates.
I also spent many years babysitting for family and friends, developing my confidence in caring for children and supporting their individual needs.
More recently, becoming a parent myself has given me valuable daily experience of supporting a young child's development, learning, and wellbeing. Having my own daughter has strengthened my understanding of the importance of patience, routine, communication, and creating a nurturing environment where children can thrive.
I am committed to continuing my professional development and providing the highest standard of care and education for every child in my setting.
