About Me
Hola Hola.
Mi Casa Childcare is a Bi-Lingual Childcare service run by Alex Hill.
I have been child minding for 13 years.
I'm very proud to say, to have been awarded Outstanding in my past 2 inspections.
We live in a very quiet part of Carshalton backing onto the river Wandle.. Lots of wildlife around to discover, and indulge little curious minds in the large garden and surrounding walks, which include Wilderness Island and The Recycle Run down to Hackbridge Creek, where we also have our own patch in the community garden, where we work closely with volunteers to maintain and keep the area clean.
Due to the environment in which we teach, we have been very fortunate to have been able to take part in The Green Tree Schools Award Scheme, where the children have worked hard, within their community, and have become Tree Ambassadors, gaining The Gold Award. I'm so proud of them and their achievements.
Separate to my main home I provide a dedicated playroom.
As a Bi-Lingual Spanish and English speaking parent of two, I am proud to provide professional Childcare in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, along with Spanish conversation, in a secure and loving family environment, where your child can feel at home ( Mi Casa es Su Casa), to play discover and explore, grow and develop.
Baby Signing is also part of our structured day for young children.
I have completed the NVQ level 3, plus Safeguarding children, Small world training, Gender Play, Observation and assessment and Inclusive Environment training, amongst many more.
I currently work together with 5 lovely family's.
Our opening times are Monday to Friday 7.30am - 5.30pm.
We will be holding some open days, for funded and non funded spaces.
Thank you for taking the time to have at look at our profile.
Do please message or call regarding your enquiry.
Hast Pronto.

I sent both my daughter and son to Mi Casa and can honestly say that every day I knew my children were spoilt with love, care and fun every day. Mi Casa has the most incredible set-up being located next to the river and charming secret garden - the kids had the best time heading to the garden for play and picnics. I could not have dreamed of a more idyllic setting for my children. I would add that my son started when he was only 6 months - a time when most would feel reluctant to send their child to daycare, with my daughter already being there, I never had a single doubt in my mind about sending him. I was right - he had the best time. I’d also add that Mi Casa wasn’t the closest childminder’s or nursery to us by far - we drove through the traffic to get there as what mattered to us was our children’s happiness. I cannot speak highly enough of Mi Casa - you won’t regret it. I can also add that I had experience of 3 x children’s nurseries and it just doesn’t compare - nothing beats Mi Casa.

Mi Casa is an extraordinary setting and it's ethos of family, care and learning through natural exploration shine through and is comparable if not better than many larger childcare facilities.
Alex and her team welcome children as family. This care ensures that children immediately feel at ease in Alex's setting and with staff as well as with her wonderful family who also treat the children with love, care and respect.
Alex takes the time to really understand each child as an individual and accordingly, is able to provide tailored care which is replicated across her staffing team.
Alex and her team always make time to provide key updates and helpful advice on the care of the children whenever desired by parents - a key trait of the care provided as it is common to often feel rushed at the end of the day at pick up with no time to feedback on children's progress or how they found the day.
Leaving children in the care of others is hard for any working parent and so this time for feedback is incredibly valued and appreciated.
We are very lucky to have such a lovely childminder and family providing incredible care locally.

Siempre..
Mi Casa es Su Casa
We have been incredibly lucky to have Alex care for our little one over the past 3 years. From the offset, Alex created a warm, welcoming and safe environment where all her children are encouraged to explore, learn and grow at their own pace.
Alex's approach is beautifully balanced, she gives the children the freedom to roam, play and discover the world around them with natural resources, whilst still following a structured curriculum that supports their development. The dedicated space she provides away is thoughtfully set up, stimulating, and always changing to meet the children's evolving interests and needs.
What sets Alex apart is her flexibility, kindness and professionalism. She understands that every child and family are different and goes out of her way to support in a caring and responsive way I.e through potty training, sleep training etc.
The daily feedback at pick up and wonderful pics throughout the day is reassuring and always makes time for us if we needed more time to discuss our little one. We always felt involved and informed.
We can not thank Alex enough for the love and care she has shown. She has been such a positive part of our little ones early years and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality Childminder.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Alex, who looked after our son for 3 years from the age of 15 months. From the very beginning, her setting felt like a home-from-home – warm, nurturing, and filled with love.
Under Alex’s care, our son thrived. He learned so much – from developing confidence and strong social skills to even picking up Spanish! There was always a perfect balance of learning, creative play, and lots of time spent outdoors exploring.
We really appreciated the regular updates and especially the lovely photos she shared – it gave us such peace of mind and helped us feel connected to everything our son was experiencing during the day.
What really stood out was how genuinely cared for and secure he felt and even now, as he's coming to the end of his first year at school, he still talks fondly about his time with Alex.
We couldn’t recommend her more highly. She’s made a lasting, positive impact on our son’s early years, and we’re so grateful for the loving, engaging, and supportive environment she created.

Our boys were cared for at Mi Casa across 7 years and we all loved it! The set up is perfect with the playroom, the sleeping room, the garden and easily accessible nature trips out such as to the community garden. We felt relaxed knowing they were in such a warm, nurturing and caring hands and they were having fun with all the toys, playing with new friends and creative crafts. Learning Spanish was a bonus too. Communication with us was great - I loved seeing messages and photos of their day. We feel very lucky to have found Mi Casa!

Alex looked after our daughter for 3 years and it was the best start to our her education. Alex's childminding setting is warm and welcoming and gives the children the opportunity to thrive while being outside in her wonderful garden. Our daughter came away all set for school with an added bonus of some Spanish. Alex really takes the time to learn what makes your child unique and will work with you on any issues you or your child may be facing.
If you are looking for a 'home-from-home' environment for your child, Mi Casa is the place for you

Jo, thank you for your kind words.
Mi Casa Es Su Casa.
Our oldest daughter was looked after by Alex and Trish from 9 months old. When we got there it just felt like the right place for her to attend. Such a warm welcome we felt she was being looked after by family. Our daughter had a great time at Mi Casa and we would recommend it for anyone looking for childcare in the area. Alex and her mum also speak Spanish which was a great bonus for us as we’re also Spanish speaking.

Our boys have absolutely loved their time at Mi Casa! Alex has created such a special, nurturing setting where everyday is full of fun! They spend lots of time outside playing and having adventures like exploring Wilderness Island or watering the flowers in Hackbridge community garden. Alex works hard to build a sense of community, encouraging the children to say hello and talk to other passers by and help with maintaining the "Mi Casa patch", complete with "Bee bar" in the community garden. Alex puts her creative flair to great use with the art projects the kids bring home - They were so proud to give me their homemade lavender bath salts and sweets for Mothers Day. On my lunchtime walks I often find them all having a picnic in the community garden or sitting by the River Wandle reading a story in the shade. We have been so lucky to have experienced Alex's care for our boys and will miss her as we move on to school!
