My Summary
Skyelight Childcare
About Me
I am a fully registered OFSTED childminder with five years experience in my current role; situated in the heart of Rush Green, on Rush Green Road in close proximity to Romford Station and Queens Hospital offering childcare for a home from home environment for your child to play, learn and grow whilst in my care.
I am married and together with my husband we raised six of our own children, 2 of who are now adults, 2 teenagers and 2 in primary school in the local area where we have resided for the past 25 years. I am currently working alongside 2 part time assistants and recently completed the Early Years Professional Development Programme to further my CPD.
Having grown up and raised my own family in Romford/ Rush Green, I know the area and historical background well.
I offer a good open indoor and outdoor space with a lot of toys and equipment for your child to have a play based childhood whilst with us and an out building where we have more toys and equipment.
I take mindees’ out almost everyday to the local parks, forests, allotments and playgroups and on different outings (such as the local animal sanctuary and farms) throughout holidays to enrich their learning and support their social skills by mixing with other children in the wider environment and providing different opportunities for discussion and enquiring minds.
We have ample opportunities for language rich communication through nursery rhymes, general chit chat, talking, explorative play and I have taken children to Robot Reg Phonics (additional charge).
I plan trips during the holidays and parents are usually happy for me to take their kids out on the trains and buses to explore the wider world, be this down by the docks, in muesums, by the seaside etc (occasionally charges apply - entrance fees, etc.).
Feel free to look at my reviews and drop me a call to discuss your childcare needs.
I am not always on this site, and am busy with mindees.

My 2 year old started with Skye back in September and the confidence and change I’ve seen in my daughter since starting with Skye has been incredible - her speech and independence has grown massively!
Skye sends regular photos of what activities they have been up to during the day which I look forward to seeing. My daughter loves all the outings Skye takes the children on - playgroup, walks ect..
I honestly couldn’t have choose any better than Skye for my daughter. I know she’s safe and well looked after.

Skye has had my little girl since October 2024 and as a first time mum I was very apprehensive about going back to work. From the first moment I met Skye, I knew she would be the perfect person to take care of my daughter. Skye has a warm, friendly manner and made my daughter and I feel very welcome into her home.
Since my daughter has been with Skye, I have seen some wonderful developmental moments and seen how my daughter’s speech and social interaction has developed so much in such a short amount of time. Skye gives the children she minds so many different learning opportunities and is always taking them out and about to different playgroups and events.
I would highly recommend!

I couldn't be more thrilled with the care my son receives from Skye. He absolutely loves spending time at her warm and welcoming home. From the moment we met Skye, we knew we had found someone special. Her lovely, family-like atmosphere made it easy for our son to settle in, and it’s clear that she genuinely enjoys her work.
What really stands out is how engaging and versatile she is. She organizes interesting activities every day, from playtime to crafts, which are not only fun but also support our son’s speech development, especially as he has English as an additional language. Her approach has made a noticeable difference, and we can see our son growing in confidence and language skills every week.
Her spacious home is beautifully set up for children, with a wide variety of well-equipped toys and activities, and the garden is a fantastic space for outdoor play. The environment feels both stimulating and secure, and I love that the children have access to such a nurturing space.
One of the many things we appreciate is her attention to providing healthy homecooked meals. She prepares delicious, nutritious food that our son enjoys, which is a big plus for us as parents. We know he’s getting healthy food in a balanced and caring way, which complements the wonderful care he receives.
Having her own children around adds to the family atmosphere, and our son feels like he's part of a big, happy family when he's there. We couldn’t ask for a better childminder, and we feel so fortunate to have found someone who cares for our son as much as we do.
At the end of each day, Skye always takes the time to provide thoughtful and detailed communication about the activities my son engaged in, giving us a clear picture of his progress and what he enjoyed the most, which we truly appreciate.

Skye looks after my children during half terms and school holidays and they absolutely loved it. What I really loved is Skye takes them fun places and they get to enjoy fun activities, she’s very caring and kind and it’s a lovely feeling knowing they are safe and cared for at Skye’s house, sometimes they don’t even want to leave when I pick them up because they’ve enjoyed it so much!
Thank you Skye for your help during the half terms and holidays.

My 8 year old son really enjoyed his week with Skye over the half term. They enjoyed time at their home where he had access to lots of toys and a lovely garden, went into London to the Science museum and local parks.
