My Summary
Childminder Malaika Care
About Me
With over 19 years of dedicated childminding experience, I've had the privilege of nurturing numerous children and providing invaluable support to their families. Witnessing the growth, learning, and accomplishments of each child has been immensely fulfilling for me.
Beyond childcare, my culinary passion shines through in my love for cooking. Over the years, amidst organizing countless birthday parties, I've refined my baking skills, resulting in a range of delightful cakes that I take great pride in.
Rest assured, my commitment to professional development is unwavering. I maintain an up-to-date childcare training record, with a copy of my certificate readily available for review on my website.
Furthermore, I am currently pursuing a Foundation Degree with the prestigious Open University, enhancing my knowledge and expertise to better serve the children and families under my care.
My Experience
I possess extensive experience in caring for children across various age groups, including babies, toddlers, and school-aged youngsters. Moreover, I have provided dedicated support to children with special needs and disabilities. I take great pride in offering assistance to families hailing from diverse and multicultural backgrounds.
Additionally, I operate a convenient drop-off and pick-up service catering to families attending Redlands Primary School. As part of my services, I provide nourishing drinks, wholesome lunches, and well-balanced snacks to ensure the well-being and satisfaction of the children under my care."

I've used this care provider for my three kids since 2006. She is very caring and attentive not only to the kids in her care but also to the parents. Even though I don't require her services anymore she is always there for me and my family.

Mama Edith, as I fondly call her, was godsent for my son who had issues with adapting to the nursery as he fell ill always being his first time exposed to being around lots of children so it was hard for him as well as myself just getting back to work post-maternity. Thankfully, my son settled in very well and the frequent illness stopped.
Not only was she amazing with mine, she is with other kids as I observed.
I’d highly recommend her services!

I couldn't have raised them alone without you. From their toddlers age, you looked after them well, natured them with love, and paved their unique personalities. My first girl, she is at Uni and the rest are in secondary schools, all proud of you with happy memories. They love 'auntie Edith', always!

Edith has looked after my 2 daughters since they were less than 1 year old. She is exceptional in every aspect of her childcare life. My little girl has severe nuts, milk and egg allergies. Edith ensured that every single day she was in her care, she would be safe and would not have any contact with these foods.
I would recommend Edith to anyone looking for a childminder. She is the best!

I was struggling to find a nursery or childminder for my son a year ago. He was non-verbal and very sensitive to sounds. All other providers said they could not meet his needs. Thanks to Edith and all the team's patience and hard work he now manages a whole day at childcare, joins in with songs and has many words. She always welcomed him and allowed him to join in when he was ready. We are so lucky to have found her.

Edith has been apart of our family for years now. She started taking care of our son for 3 years before he went off to reception. Now she is looking after our 1 year old twins. It's a home away from home and our children has developed a lot being with her. My son goes on and on about his Aunty Edith and for me thats says a lot. She picks the children in the mornings, on various occasions drops them off. Her services defines flexibility and we would recommend her to anyone.
