My Summary
Early Years Childminding Setting For Children Under 3 Years Old*Term Time Only*
About Me
My name is Mikki and I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder based in Ashtead, Surrey.
I have been a childminder for 9 years and have worked in the childcare profession for over 20 years. Much of my experience is in Early Years, where I have worked across a variety of settings, developing a strong understanding of children’s learning and development. My most recent Ofsted inspection, in October 2021, was graded Good.
I live in Ashtead with my husband and our three boys in a quiet residential road, close to local schools and just a 10-minute walk from the train station.
I am passionate about providing children with enriching experiences and love spending time outdoors. We regularly enjoy walks on the common, feeding the ducks, and visits to local parks. I also have memberships to the RHS Wisley Gardens and the National Trust, which provide wonderful opportunities for children to explore, learn, and enjoy nature. In addition, I take children to local toddler groups, helping them to socialise and build confidence with their peers.
I aim to provide a warm, caring, and stimulating home-from-home environment where children can feel safe, happy, and supported to learn through play.
My Experience
I have over 23 years of experience working with children, including the last 9 years as a childminder. Throughout my career, most of my experience has been in Early Years, working across a variety of childcare settings and supporting children’s learning and development.

My son started with Mikki in January and goes to her 2 days a week. He gets very excited when I tell him he’s going to Mikki’s house for the day, we’ve never had any tears on drop off! Mikki’s house is lovely and clean, with lots of variety of toys. She always takes the children out which my son thoroughly enjoys. I love getting my daily pictures showing how much fun he’s having. I’m so happy with quickly my son has settled and and would definitely recommend Mikki.

Mikki is a very kind and nurturing childminder. She looks after our 3 year old son on Mondays and he always has such a fantastic time. They visit lots of playgroups which he really enjoys and has made some lovely friends.
I would highly recommend Mikki especially if you are looking for someone very caring.

Mikki is amazing, she has a very kind nature and has a real passion for what she does. Mikki provides a variety of fun activities, and sends regular updates / photos throughout the day.
We are very happy with the care Mikki provides our Daughter and would highly recommend.
