My Summary
About Me
I have been a childminder for 35 years, and within that time I have raised my own 4 children. I now childmind with one of my daughters who is also registered and qualified. I thoroughly enjoy looking after kids, they've given me so much pleasure over the years.
I have a dedicated playhouse for the children, packed with toys, books and all sorts of interest for the kids. I have a large outside play area which the children are encouraged to use. We also take regular excursions to the nearby green spaces, parks and the river.
My Experience
I have been childminder for over 30 years. In that time I have seen some of my previous children grow into adults and have children themselves. Knowing that I have been a part of that child's early development and education is extremely rewarding.
My Qualifications
I have my certificate in childcare, as does my daughter. I also continue my professional development with online courses and tutorials including Step into Training courses with Oxford City Council.
My Availability
I pick up from surrounding schools.
We also offer free 15/30 hours and 2 years funding

My daughter has been with Nina and the team for about 2 and a half years. My daughter was very quiet before going to Nina setting.
Since being with Nina and the team, my daughter’s confidence has grown. Her speech had improved so much. My daughter’s personality came out so much especially participating in every activities with other children. All the activities that are arranged by the team are amazing.They have mini trips which my daughter loves to go on.
My daughter is always happy and loves to socialise and help others around her. Nina and the team have so much dedication with the work they do and to be honest I feel that every time I leave my daughter with Nina and the team, she is in safe hands. The communication are very good and we do get pictures and videos of the activities that my daughter does.
I would like to say a huge thanks to Nina and the team for helping my daughter develop her confident and independence and giving her so much care. I will definitely recommend Nina and the team to others as a lovely, caring and safe environment for children to grow and develop their learning abilities.
I wish Nina and the team all the best in the future. Emiley x
Our little boy spent two years with Nina. He really grew and flourished and became very confident during his time with her. Although Nina's is described as a childminders, it is really set up like a nursery, with wonderful inside and outside spaces and trips out to the river or the local playground. It is incredibly clean. Children paint, sing together, bake and celebrate one another's birthdays.
Nina puts an enormous amount of work and effort into everything she does, going above and beyond. The people who work with her display similair amounts of care and attention.
Nina's is perfect for mobile children and is a really great place for children to figure out who they are. We are incredibly grateful to Nina.
Our little girl went to Nina’s for almost 3 years!
Nina and the team are so warm and friendly! It was my daughter second home and family!! She loved it! Was so excited to go everyday!!
The activities the team put together are so fun for the children as well as educational! They have trips out to the field, park, down to Iffley licks to see the ducks! Everything a child wants and needs!!!
I used to LOVE getting pictures and videos of what they’re up to!
Nina’s setting is so cosy & clean!! Feels super homely and perfect for little ones!!
Nina and the team really do an amazing job of looking after the children, you can tell they love them all!!! It’s so heartwarming to watch and know how much each child is loved there!!
My daughter has started school now, she left Nina’s over the summer. The transition to school was made so easy with lots of help from Nina & team, they would chat to the older children about school, what to expect there etc… so the children knew what was coming rather than being filled with fear!
My older daughter LOVED going to Ninas!!
So much so, we send our younger one there now! & of course she absolutely loves being there!!!!
Thank you team! You’re truly amazing ♥️♥️♥️
I couldn't recommend Nina and her team enough. My daughter went there for 3 years and 1 month, it was the best thing ever.
They were so helpful from the beginning, it was my daughter's second family.
I cherish all the pictures and videos they send me.We were very sad, when my daughter left to start reception,and they prepared her really well for that. She always wants to go back to Nina's.
They really do their best , all the kids love Nina and her team. I can't be grateful enough for everything what they did for my daughter.
Thank you Nina and team for everything ❤️
From the moment I walked into Nina's house, I knew my daughter would be happy there - she has loads of toys and a very big outdoor play area and also takes the children out to the parks which my daughter loves. Nina was my daughter's 3rd childminder and I must say I was shocked at how quickly my daughter settled in at Nina's. It's worth noting that my daughter is an only child and lives alone with me, as such she's very clingy and it took her about 4months to settle with previous Childminders but it took her much less (about 3weeks) to settle at Nina's - I wished I found Nina much sooner!
Soon she started waking up and saying "going to Nina"s" and that literally melted my heart. She woke up everyday and looked forward to going to Nina's and will always ask after Nina and Lisa. That said a lot to me, it was clear my daughter was happy at Nina's which in turn made me happy and relaxed each time I dropped her off.
Over time I could see my daughter picked up good habits - she would immediately go to wash her hands once we got back home, she would cover her mouth when coughing, she was more happy to share her toys and food - to mention a few.
I would highly recommend Nina and her team, a trial will convince you!!!
