My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Abidemi, and I’m a dedicated, Ofsted-registered childminder based in London. With over 20 years of experience working with children from infancy through early school age, I provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where little ones can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
My Experience
My Setting
I have been a registered childminder since 2012. I currently co-work with another childminder who has been an Ofsted-registered childminder since 2016. Our setting is based in Lewisham, and we offer childcare from a welcoming home, which is fully equipped with age-appropriate toys, books, and learning materials. We have several parks in the area for outdoor play that we take the children to play and explore, and I regularly plan outings to local libraries and playgroups to encourage exploration and social interaction.
What I Offer
• Healthy, home-cooked meals and snacks
• Structured daily routines with free play, story time, arts & crafts, and outdoor activities
• Support with early learning goals following the EYFS framework
• Regular updates and photos so parents stay connected with their child’s progress
My Approach
I believe every child is unique and deserves to be celebrated. My approach is child-led, inclusive, and rooted in kindness, patience, and respect. I work closely with parents to ensure continuity of care and tailor my support to each child’s needs and interests.
