About Me
Hello, my name is Danielle.
I live in the Ely area of Cardiff with my partner and our daughter. We also share our home with two friendly dogs — Daisy (a Bichon Frise) and Teddy (a Maltichon/Lhasa Apso). Both have grown up around children and are very gentle in nature. Our family home has a spacious garden, providing children with plenty of room to play and explore in a safe environment.
I am a qualified Childcare Educator, holding a CACHE Diploma Level 3 in Childcare and Education, along with a wide range of CPD certificates. With over 20 years of experience working with children from birth to 15 years, I have had the privilege of supporting families across government nurseries, schools, private nurseries (where I worked as a Senior Nursery Nurse), and now as a registered Childminder, I've had the chance to work alongside Barnardo's and Social Services Wales
Alongside my childminding service during the week, I also offer babysitting in the evenings and on weekends (depending on availability). I take great pride in providing a warm, nurturing, and safe “home-from-home” experience where children can learn, play, and feel secure.
I hold a current, enhanced DBS check and a full, clean driving licence with over 20 years of safe driving experience, ensuring I can offer reliability and peace of mind to families.
If you would like to discuss your childcare or babysitting needs, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I do work full-time, so while I may not reply instantly, I will always get back to you as quickly as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me — I look forward to the possibility of supporting your family.
Warm regards,
Danielle

Where do we start?!
Danielle looked after our son full time from the age of 1 until he started school. She has continued to have him during holidays, some mornings and some days after school while also having our youngest after the COVID lockdown. Danielle provides a safe, fun, educational home from home. Our kids are always excited to arrive and I normally have to coax them out when I come to pick them up! Danielle ensures a range of activities are always available from arts and crafts and water play to park and soft play visits. The 8 years they Danielle has been looking after our children, she really has become extended family and most importantly a great friend. We wouldn't want our kids to go anywhere else.

Danielle has been looking after my son for the last 2 years. I highly recommend her services as a childminder. I know he is in safe hands when I leave him with her and he enjoys the trips and arts and crafts they do together.
She is also very flexible and accommodating if I need extra childcare hours over the holidays etc.

Danielle is an excellent childminder. She helped us out when we needed a childminder for our foster daughter. Felt our foster daughter was in safe hands and made fast friends there. Danielle ensured a varied and healthy diet, and trips out and about which she enjoyed. Regular communication and pictures sent to us. Excellent childminder, would highly recommend.
