My Summary
About Me
I am ofsted registered with all the relevant qualifications and insurances. First aid and safeguard trained. I have over 15 years experience in childcare.
I am a very energetic, positive person, I love being creative and spending time outside exploring with children. I am a firm believer that children learn through play and am always thinking of new and exciting ways to add learning opportunities into our daily activities.
I live in East Peckham, my house and garden are safe and secure, with lots of space for messy/creative activities, as well as quiet spaces for the children to relax. We have a great advantage of our garden backing onto a field,which is great for adventures and exploring the countryside.
I use many opportunities to get the children outside whatever the weather. A walk to hunt for puddles can be just as much fun as a sunny walk to the park!
My Experience
After leaving school at 18 I worked in a nursery for 4 years which is where I qualified with nvqs in childcare. I then went straight on to work for 3 families from the nursery as their nanny. I enjoyed nannying so much that I continued doing it for 11 years. Working with newborn babies just days old, all the way up to 11 years. I have worked with families with only one child and families with four children too! I have also worked with families with twins and have had some experience of being a night nanny.
I have my own children with me when I work and feel incredibly lucky that I can combine work and parenting, and have so much fun whilst doing it too! I am now a mother of three and in 2019 I decided the next natural step for me was to start childminding, my setting is called Little Lilah’s.

My Availability
I am open during term time and half of the school holidays too, I do a school drop off and pick up to East Peckham primary school. I can also offer collections to and from any local preschools/nurseries. My setting is open between the hours of 7:30am and 5:30pm Mon- Fri. However I can be flexible so please contact me regarding hours. I like to work closely with parents to ensure each child will receive the best possible type of care that you as a family prefer, and that works best for you and your child.
