My Summary
Ofsted Registered Childminder In Hackney
About Me
Hello Parents,
My name is Graeme and I live in Hackney. I am an energetic, warm and compasionate childminder and babysitter (rated Good - Ofsted). I am also a dad and a scout leader which has helped to give me a broad range of experience with children from new born to teens.
At my setting I provide a home from home environment where children feel confident to and able to express themselves. We have a garden for outdoor activities/play and I love to get the children involved in growing our own veg (and eating it!). I have always been an active person/parent and believe children learn best outdoors and being 'out and about' in their community - whatever the weather. I aim to build trust and emapthy with the children I care for, supporting them through all the new experiences and challenges they face each day.
I find working in childcare hugely rewarding and I love to watch a childs confidence and personality develop in my care. Keeping chidren safe and healthy is a huge priority to me and I enjoy preparing healthy meals and snacks for kids of all ages.
I am also very musical and love to incorporate music, percussion and singing into the days activities.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch and talk through your requirement.

In a word: brilliant!
Graeme looked after our two/three year old son and gave him the most amazing time.
He is kind, fun, nurturing, and calm - with the right amount of get-up-and-go, direction and routine.
Graeme has a nice outdoor space at his house but they were out every day in the parks, play centres and playgrounds of east London.
We saw our son grow in confidence, learn new things and eat well, as well as being very happy. We could not have asked for more from a childminder.

Thank you!
Our son stayed with Graeme for 4 months and he was under 1 when he started.
I would strongly recommend Graeme because he provided an environment for our child to explore and grow.
He nurtured our child to gain more independence and have fun in a cosy environment.
It was the first time for our baby going to childcare. Graeme reassured and supported our whole family to adapt to this change.

My partner and I can't recommend Graeme highly enough. He looked after our three children (4, 2 and 1) on a full day, full time basis for several weeks over the summer while our nanny was away and he did a brilliant job. He was patient with them (which is saying something!), kind, fun, energetic and creative. He didn’t just keep them occupied - he engaged them - they were always off out doing something exciting and the kids love him. From our perspective Graeme was completely reliable and we also appreciated how flexible he was when we needed some extra hours cover - nothing was any trouble. Graeme is obviously passionate about his work and it really comes through in his approach. We will undoubtedly use Graeme again and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Graeme looked after my 6 month old daughter for a full working day. We are only just beginning to have our baby cared for by others and Graeme was a great choice for us. Graeme is a very calm and kind character and took great care of our daughter. Will definetly use Graeme again in the future and recommend to others.
