About Me
Hello I’m Charlotte I’m 42 and i am NNEB qualified I have worked with children for the last 24 years. Where I have travelled with my work in the UK and abroad, I have now moved home to Hedge End.
I became a mummy to my son in 2020 so I decided to become a registered childminder, after being a nanny for 23 years.
I’m open 2 full days a week Tuesdays andWednesdays, I am only able to accept full day children 8am - 5pm. I also offer at my discretion overnights and weekend work to be agreed between the parent and myself if required.
I have experience with children aged newborn to school age.
I love my career helping raise children to nurture and develop them in to little adults they will become one day. Preparing them for the next steps ahead in life.
I’m very organised, caring, loving and fun. I’m also firm but fair, manners cost nothing.
I love to encourage a child’s imagination through role play, other activities I love to do are baking, arts and crafts, outdoor activities.
I have memberships to Marwell zoo and Manor farm and love to be out when the weather permits. In the colder wetter months if we can’t get out as much, we go to a lovely local playgroup, library, play dates with other childminders either at my house or there’s.
I have a beautiful playroom with a number of different toys to encourage your child’s development. I also have a lovely outdoor space with a climbing frame, children's outdoor kitchen and toys.
