About Me

My name is Davina, As a parent myself I understand the pressures of finding a good quality reliable Ofsted registered childminder that compliments your own belief and principles. My mission is to have a welcoming, warming home from home, safe, and fun homely environment whilst you the parents concentrate on your busy day ahead. I will be providing variety of nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day

All activities are organised to meet the framework in EYFS, which will be a variety of arts and crafts, sensory play, books, role play, puzzles, cooking, and more. I also will be encouraging children to participate in a healthy and active lifestyle by having regular use of local facilities such as playgrounds and parks as well as my garden with a range of out door playing equipment. I also will be taking part in outings and trips to soft play, children centres, library reading sessions, Parks and occasionally visit museums and local zoo/farms.

No two days are ever the same and I believe that this variety creates a stimulating environment in which children can have the opportunity to try new things and grow as an individual. I will ensure I observe and record all children which you will see each stage of their development. I will always try to build a strong partnership with parents, so that we can work together to support your child in achieving their full potential and needs.

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Requires Improvement
6 March 2025
A recent inspection revealed that this childcare setting requires improvement across all areas. While children enjoy activities and learn about healthy lifestyles, the curriculum lacks focus on addressing individual developmental needs. Language and communication support is insufficient, and required progress checks for two-year-olds are not consistently completed. Behavior management strategies need improvement to help children understand the consequences of their actions. Professional development is advised to enhance overall effectiveness.

Great Childminder

5 stars

My daughter had a great experience at Destiny Childminding. She was happy and looked after very well. Davina was really kind with us, she was flexible with our schedule, etc. we were very happy sending our daughter there. Sadly we need to move house so no longer be able to keep her at Destiny Childminding. But we will definitely see each other in the future as my little one became a good friend with Davina’s daughter Destiny. We highly recommend Destiny Childminding service for all ages.
