My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Hilary Beckley and I am an Ofsted registered childminder in Bexley Village.
SPACES AVAILABLE FROM January 2024 CURRENTLY ARE;
1 space for 0 to under 3,s Monday Tuesday and Wednesday
2 spaces if it’s for siblings .
I run my setting from a non smoking,family environment, I really enjoy my days with the children helping them to learn and develop like I did with my own when they were young.
My setting tends to be full of music and fun and we are Disney mad.
The close proximity of another childminder(4 doors down) is beneficial should an emergency occur as we easily cover each other's children and the children are familiar with the two of us so there's no unnecessary anxiety with parents or the children.
The children are all well cared for and seem to thoroughly enjoy their time with me.
The parents are kept well informed of their childs' day, by message or online system ( photos sent to their phone, as our day unfolds).
I have been on the other side of the fence and had my first born minded so I completely understand how finding the right childminder is vital to any family and to enable parents to go to work with an easy mind that their child is completely safe, nurtured and well cared for.
My Eldest daughter was a primary school teacher at Old Bexley School and has now joined my setting and has brought all her teaching skills with her to enhance the children’s learning in the setting which will give them a really good start when they move on to ‘big school’.
I have a lovely natured red fox labrador called Copper who is incredible with the little children and so gentle...Its nice for children to learn to respect animals and he is perfect for that purpose.He has also helped unbelievably with children who are nervous of dogs as he is so gentle and kind.
If this is the sort of setting you are looking for please contact me for a chat and we can arrange a visit for you to come and meet the children and Copper and get a feel for my setting with no obligation.
I look forward to hearing from you .
Kindest regards
