Justkidz
Childminder in Rayleigh
My Summary
About Me
My name is Lindsley, and I am an Ofsted-registered childminder at Justkidz Childcare.
I am conveniently located near Grove Wood School and provide high-quality childcare from my spacious four-bedroom home, which includes a dedicated playroom and a large, secure garden where children can learn& explore
My Experience
As an Ofsted registered childminder, I am passionate about providing a warm, safe and nurturing home-from-home environment where children feel happy, secure and valued.
I have many years of experience caring for children of different ages, from babies through to school-aged children. I support each child’s individual learning and development through fun, play-based activities that encourage confidence, independence and curiosity.
I regularly attend training to keep my knowledge and skills up to date, including safeguarding, paediatric first aid and food hygiene. I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to help every child reach their full potential while working closely with parents to ensure the best possible outcomes.
I believe that children learn best when they feel safe, loved and encouraged. Every day includes a balance of indoor and outdoor play, creative activities, stories, music, messy play, local walks and visits to parks, as well as opportunities to develop social skills and prepare for school.
Many of the children I have cared for have stayed with me until they started school, and I take great pride in building lasting relationships with both children and their families.
At Justkidz Childcare, my aim is to provide a caring, stimulating and welcoming environment where every child can thrive.

Lindsley helped me out when I needed childcare on a temporary basis when staying at my parents while moving back from abroad. She looked after my two sons aged 18 months and nearly 6. She is very kind and friendly and the kids were happy to go to her house, enjoying lots of activities, such as trips to the park, playing in the garden, in the swimming pool, sandpit, crafts and making slime, which was particularly popular!
She was flexible on timings and was able to add extra mornings in at short notice.
If I was going to highlight any areas for improvement it would probably be that she could be stricter with serving healthy food, she gave my elder son a choice of what to eat, so he of course, said he didn't eat fruit and vegetables, although he will eat them when not given any option!

Lindsley is an excellent childcare provider to my two sons, in a homely, safe environment. She is friendly, approachable & has my children's best interests at heart. Lindsley is very adaptable so has been flexible with looking after my children, even at short notice. I am more than confident in Lindsley's ability to provide outstanding childcare for my children & they are always happy to be in her company. I would happily recommend Lindsley to any parent seeking childcare.

My youngest child has been in lindsleys care for the past 6 months. Lindsley is very approachable and found very easy to communicate with her. She is very flexible with my working hours which I needed as found with past childminders this was not so easy due to my shift rota patten. My child has become more confident since being in Lindsleys setting and has progressed in many development areas. I would recommend Lindsley’s service.
