My Summary
About Me
Hello ! My name is Murdina Baillie of M.A.M.Childminding Service where I am a Registered Childminder, an Early Years Childhood Educator and a Pedagogical Leader. I provide ELC for babies and children from birth to 16 years.
I am a registered Care Inspectorate Childminder that meets the Scottish Government National Standard and work in partnership with Clackmannanshire Council to provide some or all of your child's Early Learning and Childcare funded hours entitlement.
In my role of caring for your child, I provide a nurturing, safe, secure and stimulating environment for your child where they benefit from both indoor and outdoor fun and challenging learning opportunities.
My minded children seem to enjoy their time here,as sometimes they just don't want to go home :-)
This is a smoke-free home and very pet friendly.
My Experience
I have 3 children,aged 18, 23 and 31 combined with the wealth of experience 13 years of childminding can bring.

Murdina has been my childminder for a number of years and as my last child is nearing the end of primary school we will be saying goodbye at the end of June. Murdina has provided an outstanding service to our family and I have no hesitation in recommending her to others. Murdina is very nurturing and my child has always been extremely happy under her care. She responds to individual interests and provides plenty of opportunities for the children to enjoy the outdoors. Murdina is part of a network of childminders in Tullibody who work together to provide exciting and varied activities for the children under their care. We always get a warm welcome in the morning and a personal update at pick up. Murdina sends regular updates and photographs which allows me a glimpse into the fun times my child is experiencing when I’m not there. Murdina regularly evaluates her service seeking my views and that of my child’s; she is always seeking to continually improve the quality of her care. My child has been safe, happy and well cared for in a loving and nurturing home setting. It will be hard for us to say goodbye to someone who has been such an important part of our daily lives. Honestly, she has been amazing and your child will thrive under her care!

My daughter was with murdina from 2019. She is a fantastic childminder and does many activities with the kids when they are on holiday. I couldn't recommend her enough.

My daughter started going to Murdina’s at the beginning of 2022. From day one she loved it! We increased her from one day a week to two days a week.
Murdina sent photos daily, took them on outings, lots of sensory and arts and crafts along with details of her development and milestones. Hollie came on leaps and bounds with the help of Murdina. It was like a second home for her. She’s made lots of friends big and small and always left with a smile on her face.
I couldn’t fault Murdina in the slightest. She is an absolute dream and I would trust her with Hollie no matter what!
If your looking for a childminder then look no further!!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Absolute amazing service and women.
Thank you so much!!!!

My son first went to murdina when he was 9 months old! Murdina made the transition back to work for me so much easier with how comfortable I felt leaving my son. She is such a lovely caring person and very understanding with how anxious I felt leaving my son and he took to her right away which was a bonus. I noticed a big difference in my sons confidence with being around other kids. I could not recommend murdina enough also love her daily updates of what they get up to! I will definitely be back in the near future!

Murdina came very highly recommended, so I felt really lucky that she had availability when I enquired about a place for my son. He has been going to Murdina for a year and a half and absolutely loves the time he spends with her.
Murdina is an excellent childminder. She has great communication with parents, sending updates and photos throughout the day and keeps us up-to-date with his development.
During his time with Murdina, I have seen my son’s confidence grow. She encourages his independence and sense of adventure. She frequently takes the children on nature walks and excursions.
Her setting is a home from home and I have always felt very comfortable with my son being there. As Murdina does school pick-ups and drop-offs, it gives my son the opportunity to mix with children of all ages. He very much enjoys playing with the older kids, as well as his little friends during the day.
I have nothing but positive things to say about Murdina. She is so kind and caring and would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare.
Thank you Murdina!
