My Summary
About Me
VACANCIES AVAILABLE FOR MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS!!!
Hi, I'm Purnima, and I've been providing exceptional childcare services since 2008. With a warm and nurturing approach, I aim to create a home away from home for your little ones.
At my residence, you'll find a smoke-free environment with plenty of space for play and exploration. Equipped with an inviting playroom and a spacious garden filled with a variety of play equipment, there's no shortage of fun activities for children to enjoy.
I believe in working closely with parents to ensure the best possible care for their children. Through regular updates via WhatsApp and termly EYFS observation and assessment sheets, you'll always be informed about your child's progress and daily activities.
With my two lovely daughters and husband, who holds a DBS check from both OFSTED and the London Borough of Newham, your child will be welcomed into a caring and supportive family environment.
Join me in providing your child with a nurturing and stimulating learning experience tailored to their age, stage, and abilities. Get in touch today to discuss how I can support your family's childcare needs!
My Experience
I'm incredibly grateful for the wonderful reviews from the parents who have entrusted me with their children over the years. Their kind words truly reflect the quality of care I strive to provide. Since becoming a registered childminder in January 2008, I've had the privilege of working alongside an assistant, continuously gaining valuable experience. From caring for children as young as 4 months to those up to 10 years old, my journey has been enriched by nurturing young minds. As a mother to two delightful daughters, aged 22 and 18, I understand the joys and challenges of parenthood firsthand.

OFSTED REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE (2008)
ICP Certificate (2006)
Paediatric First Aid Training (2023)
Diploma in Childcare (2006)

Full clean UK Driving License since 2005
These credentials demonstrate my commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children under my care.

Purnima first started looking after our little boy when he was 10 months old, he was a very sensitive shy and particular baby. Since being with Purnima he has grown to become a confident, polite, clever boy who doesn’t stop chatting. Purnima has become part of our family, sharing the joys of watching him grow.
She offers fantastic advice and nothing is ever too much for her and Wendy. They encourage learning through play, arts and crafts and time in the garden. The facilities are welcoming and clean with toys for every child’s interests. I wouldn’t want to leave my child anywhere else.

Amy, your kind words mean a lot. Ira is truly a delightful little guy, and it's a joy to look after him. Thank you again for your kindness.
I approached Purnima when my daughter was 1 and it was the best decision as I have had absolutely stress free workdays ever since. She helped settle my daughter well initially as she was a sensitive child. Purnima has helped with overall development and we can see that reflect in the child. Her facility is extremely clean and well maintained. Purnima along with her assistant Wendy were the best start I could ask for my little one. Highly recommended!
Thanks for all your efforts with my daughter Purnima, appreciate your care and patience!

Thank you deeply for your very kind words, Pragna. We'll certainly miss her so much. It's been a joy collaborating with your wonderful family. Best wishes with your new home!. Thank you.
Purnima looked after my daughter from 9 months up until she was 2 years old. She was professional, knowledgeable and friendly from the outset. I never had to worry and my daughter loved Purnima, her family and Wendy so much! We shared so many of my daughters first milestones and Purnima was just as invested as we were. I loved hearing about what they’d been up to at the end of day and I often leaned on her for advice. I could not recommend Purnima enough.

Hi Shae, Thank you ever so much for your kind words. We miss Ada so much. Thanks again and good luck with your new life.
Regards Purnima
Purnima has been AMAZING with my little one. He’s been with her just shy of two years and I can honestly say, I couldn’t have found a better person to be part of his journey and helping him grow.
Her love and care for the children goes beyond that of a childminder; she’s become family for my son.
It was with a very heavy heart that we are leaving for school, but we will forever be grateful for her care, attention and guidance.
Thank you for EVERYTHING Purnima.
