About Me

My name is Patricia, I am Ofsted registered childminder, I believe children thrive better in a welcoming, safe, stimulating, warm and caring environment, where children are free to express and explore the world around them, this is achievable through partnership working with the parents.

I am passionate about working with children, understanding child development and playing my role in giving them the best possible start in life. I believe it is my role to encourage and support children's wider learning. 

I am also providing care throughout the school holidays.
Childrens activities will focus on children's play and learning development opportunities such as dance, media, drama arts and crafts and sporting activities.

I have lived in London all my life and love doing outdoors activities. I am a self-motivated and hard working person who enjoys working with children.

I have used Patricia for pick up after school for nearly 2 years now . My daughter settled in nicely immediately after starting . Patricia’s home is very clean and organised with a range of activities for the children. Updating parents with pictures and feedback of the things they do , which is a nice touch .
She provides healthy dinners making it so much easier for when I finish work !
Highly recommend!!

Thanks you so much for the review. It has been a pleasure looking after your daughter.

Patricia has been looking after our son for several month and it has been a totally seamless and joyful experience. We dropped him off at 8 months, which felt so young but the care and attention he gets is brilliant. Patricia's exposes him to lots of stimulus and his days are filled with energy, variety and new activities. She is super flexible and accommodating to our needs and has been very reassuring to us as new parents. She has been supportive and worked with us to improve sleep routines, meal times and all things that small people need as they develop. Patricia’s house is clean, safe and child-friendly and we would recommend her to any family looking for childcare services.

My family has used Patricia as a childminder for nearly a year and she is brilliant. I could not be happier with the care she provides for my 2-year-old (all day) and 5-year-old (after school and holiday). They adore her and she looks after them as though they are her own. Patricia’s house is safe, clean and child-friendly. She puts a lot of thought and effort into providing them with stimulating indoor and outdoor activities relevant to their age. She is incredibly friendly, reliable and easy-going – a pleasure to deal with – and with very high standards of care. I would recommend her to any parent.
