About Me

My name is Bola. I'm married (husband is DBS checked) with two children (23-year old girl and 7-year old boy, a keen footballer). I am a caring and dedicated mother and a good listener. I love working with children and I endeavour to give them the best at all times. I am fun, loving and enjoy playing and I also believe that children learn and develop more in their early years through playing.

As an Ofsted registered childminder, I aim to ensure that all children who attend my setting have a wonderful learning experience in a warm, safe and secure, home-based environment with lots of fun and laughter.

I cook with fresh ingredients in order to provide children with healthy, balanced and nutritious food. Food is served in the kitchen which is messy-friendly.

My home is based in BR3 and has a big play playroom where learning, and fun activities e.g. role play, reading, musical instruments/singing and so on occurs. It also has a cosy sleep room and a downstairs toilet. I have a storage room with extra toys, where children can get more toys should they wish to.
I have a large garden with age appropriate equipment e.g. football, basketball, water and sand area. Children can play and enjoy outdoor activities in a secured place. I visit local libraries (with one being only is 7 mins walk from my house) and parks regularly (with my son who loves football) There are few parks around me e.g. Kelsey Park, Cator Park, Croydon Road Recreation Ground and Beckenham Palace Park where we also explore nature, outdoor play and learning.

I use the electronic app (Kinderly) to record daily activities and progress, so parents have instant access to what activities children did during the day. Parents are encouraged to also use the app, email and verbal communication to ensure continuity of care for the children.
I drop off and pick up from the following settings and schools:
ST MARY’S CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL, BECKENHAM.

My Experience

Most importantly I am a Mother. I worked as a finance personnel in the Civil Service for 19 years. I experienced challenging childcare during my working years and I'm hoping to offer those working with some peace of mind knowing that their children are well cared for.

My Ofsted Inspections

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
30 June 2022
A recent inspection report highlights the strengths and areas for improvement of a childminder in Bromley, South London. The provider demonstrates enthusiasm and effectiveness, creating a welcoming environment where children lead their learning through natural curiosity. Cultural awareness is promoted through visits to museums and exposure to diverse experiences. While safeguarding arrangements are effective and a comprehensive curriculum is in place, there is room for improvement in information sharing with other settings and precise vocabulary use.

Bola quickly became Aunty Bola to my son. She is professional and caring. She takes her job very seriously and made my child feel safe and at home. She eased my anxiety surrounding Covid19, as she is meticulous with her proceedures and handling of my son. I would recommend her to anyone as she is a gem.Amazing childminder
