My Summary
About Me
BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL CARE
Pick-ups and drop-offs from/to Wheatcroft
I am an Ofsted-registered childminder, based in Hertford, just a few minutes’ walk from Hertford East Station, and have been providing childcare since 2012.
I live with my 15-year-old daughter and offer a reliable, organised, flexible and caring childcare service, with excellent references.
My experience includes:
13+ years of childcare experience
Full-time and part-time sole-charge positions
Experience caring for twins
Extensive experience with babies and young children
Early Years Development Programme, endorsed by OCN London
Ongoing CPD training to keep my knowledge and practice up to date.
I believe children benefit enormously from fresh air, nature and time spent outdoors. We have a strong connection with nature, and outdoor activities and exploring the world around us are a regular part of our days whenever possible.

Irina is a great child-minder; she has looked after my little boy full time since I returned to work in 2012. During this time she has been a great support for my family, she is reliable, responsible and well organised. Above everything my son loves his time with her; she provides a home- for- home setting with loads of fun activities. She is never too busy to talk and tell me about his day, she also has a journal system in place; this is always completed with loads of information on the day’s activities.
Irina is an amazing cook- she provides an excellent range of healthy homemade foods and snacks. I always feel my son is special to her and well cared for. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a child minder.
