My Summary
About Me
I have a lovely garden for the children to enjoy along with a playroom with lots of exciting resources and space for your little one to play and learn.
I adore caring for children. I will ensure your children are safe, entertained and educated while in my care.
I am caring, reliable, responsible, active, creative, and good fun.
I take the children I care for out daily & do lots of arts activities & games in the house. I have many ways & ideas of adapting activities to suit your child's stage in development. I also make time for child led play to get to know your child's personality, their developing likes, dislikes & ideas.
While looking after children I provide a nurturing environment, to support children in their development & help them reach their full potential. I promote a relaxed environment for children where they can learn through play.
My Experience
I have experience working with children aged 3 months - 10years.
I initially worked as a nanny for 2 years. I then qualified as a registered childminder. I worked as a childminder for 4 years and then stopped to get married and go on a long honeymoon. On return I worked part time as a nanny and with the NHS speech and language early years department. I am now back to childminding and really enjoying being a childminder again.
I enjoy going out & about, as do the children I care for. I'm confident using public transport with children & enjoy exploring new areas. I regularly take the children I care for to soft plays, museums, parks, libraries & London sites & attractions.
I create positive relationships with the children I care for, being fun and relaxed while maintaining clear & consistent boundaries. I see the benefit in routines which allow children to feel comfortable & settled.
My Qualifications
I have a DBS check
Paediatric First Aid certificate,
CACHE level 3 in home based childcare,
Level 3 in childcare and young persons workforce,
I have also taken many related one day courses such as child protection, food hygiene, healthy early years & every child's a talker.

Holly looked after our 2 year old daughter for 4 weeks over the summer. She was an excellent childminder - full of incredible ideas for keeping the children engaged and busy, and always careful to plan out days with lots of creative and fun activities around London. Most importantly, our daughter was happy to visit Holly every day and very obviously found the environment Holly fosters engaging. As parents, we were continually struck and impressed by Holly's energy and enthusiasm to keep the children in her care entertained. We also enjoyed a few of the small touches, like Holly's brilliant (private) blog which she updates, daily, with photos of the children.
Importantly, Holly is also very careful about meeting all the CRB, etc. criteria and thus we were very confident about safety and security concerns, and her planning of activities etc. Again, she was very impressive in this way.
Overall, we were delighted with Holly and would recommend her without hesitation. In fact, we are planning to have our daughter return to Holly on a part time basis in the new year.

Overall
Holly is a young, fun, creative, caring and reliable nanny who has been looking after our children aged 4 and 2 since we moved to the UK back in September.
Both our children love her as she always has great ideas for in-door games and creative activities, as well as outings to different museums, parks, librairies, playgroups, etc.
As our eldest joins Reception in January and our youngest has obtained a plcae in a local nursery, we won't be able to offer Holly sufficient hours.
Holly very quickly established a strong relationship with both our children who have different characters and needs. She has really helped our eldest come out of his shell and he is now much more confident and happier than ever!
We are very sad to see Holly go and hope to remain in touch with her. She is punctual, responsible and clearly enjoys looking after children.
She has excellent references from previous employers, including ourselves, as per the above. As parents, we realise how difficult choosing a nanny can be: we've interviewed many candidates and employed 5 nannies since the birth of our eldest, and Holly comes highly recommended.
