About Me
I am a recently OFSTED registered childminder offering reliable, caring and nurturing home-from-home child care in Hampton. I live with my three children, 12, 14 and 16, we also care for 3 cats, 2 rabbits, 2 corn snakes, and a hamster.
My Experience
While I may be new to childminding, I have plenty of experience in looking after children. I used to babysit regularly as a teenager and have three children of my own who were all under 5 at one point.
My Qualifications
I am fully qualified in pediatric first aid and hold a TQUK Level 2 certificate in Caring for Children and Young People. I have also completed KRSCP Safeguarding Children Level 3 and further training in Understanding and Working with the EYFS.
My Availability
I currently mind one preschooler so I’m not tied to a specific school at the moment for drop off and pick up. The nearest schools are Buckingham, Carlisle and Hampton Hill Juniors, all within 10 - 20 minutes walking distance.

Colette has been looking after my son for the past year, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder. From the very first meeting, I felt completely at ease – she and her lovely family welcomed us with such warmth, and my son settled in so quickly. It was a huge relief after a difficult experience with a nursery.
My son absolutely adores going to “Lette Lette’s” house – he shouts with excitement when he realises where he’s going! He loves spending time with her three children and always comes home full of stories about his day. Whether he’s been to the park, a playgroup, or done sensory play, he always has a great time.
Colette keeps me updated every day with a report of his meals, nappy changes, and lovely photos of their adventures. It’s clear how much care and thought she puts into every day with the children. As a first-time mum, her support and advice around toddler behaviour has been invaluable – she’s not just a childminder but a truly caring presence in both our lives.
I honestly cannot recommend Colette enough – she’s loving, supportive, and absolutely amazing with children.
