About Me

My name is Kineta and I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Shefford, Bedfordshire. I live with my husband and two children - a girl aged seven and a boy aged four. With a background in primary education, and now being a Mummy to my own children, I understand how important it is to find a childminder who you can trust and feel comfortable with. I work with parents to ensure children feel comfortable, happy and content in my care.

I provide a welcoming, warm and secure home from home setting where children from three months upwards can develop, grow and learn. I have a wide range of toys and ensure that there is regular opportunities to access arts and crafts, messy play, garden play, music, singing and sensory play. I have space upstairs for travel cots for children who need to nap in peace. We head out of the house as much as possible and in all weathers! We also go to local groups, have play dates, visit parks and farms, use the library and lots of other local places. I believe in giving children a wealth of different experiences which aids building those vital foundations during their most formative years.

My Experience

I always knew that I wanted to work with children from a very young age. At school I had part time jobs working in after school settings and babysitting. When I finished school I went to college to complete a BTEC National Diploma in Childcare which meant I was a qualified Nursery Nurse. From there I went to university to gain a teaching degree - BA Hons in Primary Education with a specialism in Early Years. After qualifying I worked at the same primary school for seventeen years teaching across the school but mainly in in the Reception, Nursery and Year One classes. I love teaching but now I have my own young children I have made the decision to start a new venture and become a childminder. Exciting times ahead!
