About Me

I am a highly-skilled, creative, energetic, and compassionate individual with over 20+ years of experience working with children. I started my journey as a mother, raising two wonderful children. My son is currently travelling and my daughter is at University. In 2003, I became a childminder and accomplished an ‘Outstanding’ grade from Ofsted, demonstrating my commitment and dedication to providing children with high-quality care and education. My ability to be kind, intuitive, patient, and organised led me to utilise my skills and venture into a group environment. I have worked in a Children’s Centre, and an American School, and currently work in a private school in Ealing. I gained my Post Graduate Certificate in Education and Early Years Teachers Status and work a dual role as a Nursery Teacher and Manager.

Although I enjoy working within a group environment, I would like to focus on being a nanny, creating fun, busy, happy memories, and developing trusting and good working relationships with a family. I am a good communicator, believing in openness and honesty, and always do my best to listen and find solutions rather than create problems. I encourage children to be polite, well-mannered, kind, and caring. I always offer praise and encouragement to build their self-esteem and confidence and promote positive behaviour using age-appropriate strategies. Healthy eating and a good diet are significant for their growth and development and therefore, I am happy to prepare nutritious meals. I will support children's cleanliness and hygiene routines, if required, and maintain tidy and organised areas where the children play and sleep. I enjoy outdoors, gardening, baking, puzzles, drawing and crafts, helping keep children entertained and stimulated and providing opportunities for conversations and friendship.

Below are the latest reviews for Denise. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

My baby started with Denise at only 4 months old, at first I was worried as she was still so young and I didn't want to leave her at such a young age, I soon saw that there was no need to worry as Denise does so much with the children and does a lot towards their development and encourages them all the way. Now my baby is a year old and she comes home with things she has learnt and made all the time. Denise also does a online daily diary which is fantastic, you can see what they have been up to that day with some pictures as well.

I'm glad I have found such a caring childminder as Denise and really could not ask for any more from her.
