Hello, my name is Fiona and I run 'Nona's Nest' Childminding in Guildford.
I am DBS checked , first aid trained and have undertaken a course for childminding and safeguarding. I have also been an Ofsted Registered Nanny for over 15 years, and in childcare employment since leaving school.
A little bit about me. I live with my husband Kieran (DBS Checked) in Bellfields, Guildford. We have been married since 2014. We have two sons born April 2016 and August 2019.
In the week we enjoy visiting play groups, parks, softplays and other activities around the local area and further afield, but also providing a home from home environment. I have membership for Wisley, National Trust and Merlin attractions so we love adventures!
I received a GOOD grading in my latest Ofsted Inspection (March 2022)

We have known Fiona for nearly 5 years now - my eldest son went to Nona' Nest from the age of 1 until he went to school last September and my youngest is now 2 and currently goes 4 days each week. I am so glad I found Fiona because both boys have loved going to Nona's Nest. I have always felt comfortable leaving them there knowing they are in such good hands. Each each day is different and gives them a variety of experiences which is great. Fiona is a very positive and upbeat person and I would not hesitate to recommend Fiona as a childminder.

We feel so lucky to have found Fiona! Our son was 11 months old when he started with her and from the very beginning Fiona’s warm, positive and welcoming nature, along with her great communication made us feel completely at ease. At two he runs straight up to the door, knocks to go in and doesn’t look back. We love seeing photos through the Baby Days app and hearing about all the lovely outings he goes on from baby groups to amazing days out, including visiting a fort! He has lots of interaction with other children both on outings and within the setting. We love hearing about his day at pick up and the arts and crafts he brings home. Fiona has truly made us feel like our son is part of her family, and we couldn’t be happier knowing he’s in such a caring, supportive, home-from-home environment.

Fiona is simply amazing ! Our little girl started at 9months old last sept and from day one she has loved it ! Fiona has such big heart and truly shows when drop off is a breeze.
From fun topics, crafting days to outings with friends H loves being an owl.
Thank you so much for making this big step so easy for H and for us.
