Celma provides a very caring environment which provides the best of a childminding and nursery setting. Because Celma has assistants, some of whom are her family, she has more children than a regular childminder and this means the children have lots of playmates and can learn from each other, but because the setting is a house there is a lovely space and family like atmosphere with home cooked meals.
Our first child started with Celma at 13months and settled in well even though he had nervous parents(!) and he is now a bright, funny, sporty 3.5 year old. We have Celma and her team to thank for helping raise him so well.

Celma had my son from the age of 10 months until just before he turned 4!
I struggled to justify removing him from her care as her care was so good and to such a high standard. It was like being in a nursery for him without the extortionate fees!!
We've moved on to a nursery and my Son still asks to stop by and see Celma and the rest of the team!... No words can ever clearly express how grateful I am to Celma for the world class care that she provided my son.
And the freshly cooked food and weekly menus sent to the parents made it easy to see what our kids were being fed and understand why some foods all of a sudden would become certain faveourites!!...
Celma is highly recommended

Celma and her team have created a brilliant environment for little ones. Her house and garden are well equipped and the children do lots of activities outdoors which was a big plus for us. It is a lively environment, and the assistants work really hard and make sure the children have fun. Fresh and healthy food is prepared each morning.I was nervous to leave my son anywhere to return to work when he was one years old, but Celma helped the transition for all of us run smoothly. Highly recommend her services, she is great fun and cares so much about what she does, which is so important when doing this job.

My son was with Celma and her assistants from age one until shortly after his second birthday. He would still be there now save for the fact that we moved out of the area. He settled in really well to the warm and friendly environment and we happily left our son with Celma and her assistants safe in the knowledge he was in good hands. Highly recommended!

Overall
My daughter was with Celma and her assistants for just over a year (and would have stayed longer had we not relocated). She had such an amazing time there. She was always happy to go and happy when we collected her. I could tell that she learnt a lot, and she really thrived in Celma's care.
There were always lots of different activities going on at Celma's house, and the playrooms and garden are well-equipped, organised and clean. When the weather allowed they would be outside in the garden or one of the nearby parks. There are more children than you would find with some childminders, which meant that our daughter made lots of friends and became very sociable and confident in the company of other children. But at Celma's there is the one-on-one attention, flexibility and home from home environment some nurseries might lack.
All in all, I am so happy we found Celma to take care of our daughter. It couldn't have been better and we were very lucky.

Celma and her assistants at Learn Playing have been looking after my 14 month old son since I returned to work a few months ago and I have been more than happy with the quality of the care provided.
My son settled in very quickly and within a few weeks was very comfortable in the home from home environment Celma provides. He loves going every day and is really thriving in the care of Celma and her team.
Celma and her assistants take the children to local playgroups and parks most days and there are many other babies for him to interact which he really enjoys. The environment is clean, organised, safe and but also fun and relaxed.
Celma and her team are all genuinely very caring towards the children and always find time at the end of the day to let me know how my son has been and what he has been up to that day. I feel lucky to have found Celma and happy that I have found a safe, nurturing environment where I can leave my little boy knowing he will be well cared for.
I would highly recommend Celma and her team at Learn Playing to anyone looking for a childminder in the Crystal Palace area.

Celma and her assistants have been looking after our little man brilliantly, and we are very happy we found her. She is completely reliable, and our boy loves going there - in fact 'elma' is one of the few words he can say! The facilities are very good, and the children are entertained with all sorts of activities. We recommend her without hesitation!

My 11 month old daughter has been with Celma 3 days a week for about 6 weeks now and she already really enjoys her days and is learning so much. I was nervous about returning to work, but Celma made it easy. She is great at reassuring me by sending me messages in the day to let me know how my daughter is getting on.
I knew when I first visited Celma that it was the right place for me daughter. The house is very clean and well organised, and most of the house (and garden) are used, so the children are not cooped up in one room. The babies have a lovely play room and then a separate room with cots in it for naps. They all seem very comfortable and at home in the house.
Celma has 3 assistants working with her. All of them are friendly, fun and excellent with the children. They are all caring towards the children and clearly love working with them. Celma and her assistants are all full of energy too, and they go out every day on visits to the park or playgroup. Celma makes a home-cooked lunch every day, and there are plenty of healthy snacks for the children.
Because Celma has assistants working with her she is able to take care of more children than some childminders, so they get to socialise with lots of other children, while also having the benefit of lots of one-on-one attention and personalised care. This is a very happy and nurturing environment and I would definitely recommend Celma to anyone looking for a childminder in the area.

We found Celma through childcare.co.uk, we were very impressed with her CV and when we meet her we felt that she was the right person to take care of our LO.
We are very happy with the work Celma does and our daughter seems very happy to be at Learn Playing with her friends and carers.
Celma is also very easygoing (always receiving you with a smile) and understanding which is just what you need when you are rushing to get to work or from work.
Everyone at Learn Playing is very kind, loving and happy. It is a great environment to leave your child every day. We trust them with the most precious thing we have and feel very happy we can trust them this much.
