About Me

Hi everyone!

We are a family of four: my partner, me, our 7-year-old, and our lovely 20-month-old son, born in March 2025.

We currently receive 30 hours of government-funded childcare, which we would like to continue using towards our son's childcare. Ideally, we are looking for someone who accepts this funding, with the option to spread the hours across the year rather than term-only.

We are based in Castle Bromwich (B36) and are currently looking for a nursery or registered childminder within a reasonable travelling distance from our home. Ideally, we would consider childcare providers in Castle Bromwich, Smith's Wood, Kingshurst, Chelmsley Wood, Castle Vale, Shard End, Minworth or surrounding areas.

My partner and I both work full-time, and we are currently looking for a reliable, caring and welcoming nursery or registered childminder who can provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for our little boy.

As I work outside of Birmingham, I am responsible for the morning drop-offs, so finding childcare that fits around my working schedule is particularly important.

Our childcare requirements are as follows:
Days required: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Drop-off: Ideally between 8:00am and 8:30am, depending on the location, to allow me enough time to travel to work.
Collection: My partner will be responsible for collecting our son, no later than 5:00pm.
Child's age: Currently 20 months old.

As parents, we want our son to be somewhere he feels happy, comfortable, safe and supported. We are particularly interested in childcare providers who are attentive, patient and genuinely passionate about supporting children's development and individual needs.
We also value good communication between parents and childcare providers, as we believe this is essential in building trust and ensuring our son receives the best possible care.

We would love to hear from nurseries or childminders with availability on the days mentioned above, and we would be happy to arrange a visit to get to know you and your setting.

Thank you for taking the time to read our profile. We look forward to hearing from you!

My Requirements

Registered Childminder
Nursery

My son is 20 months old and, like any child his age, needs a caring, patient and attentive environment where he feels safe, happy and comfortable.

One thing that is particularly important to us is his personal hygiene, as he has sensitive skin around his nappy area. We would like his nappy checked regularly, changed at least four times throughout the day and whenever necessary, with gentle, thorough cleaning at each change.

Other than that, we are simply looking for someone who is attentive to his individual needs, supports his development and communicates openly with us about his day, including his meals, nappy changes and general wellbeing.
