About Me

My name is Ria (Maria) and I am a childminder at my early Years Child Care setting Ria’s Giggles. I have a passion for working with children of all ages and I feel privileged to enjoy my work so much. I have18 years of childcare experience and I am qualified to degree level in early years. I also enjoy socialising and family time.

I love with my husband and 2 children of secondary school age.
We all have a 2 year old Labrador.

I currently only care for children within their early years, so from age 3 months until they attend primary school.

I have created a wonderful outdoor space in our garden including a tree house and a mud kitchen area where the children can explore, discover and experience learning through play in the great outdoors.
Ria’s Giggles values the importance of exploring new environments and socialising with others so we are often out and about lots.

Ria’s Giggles runs very much like any other early year’s settings, we have policies and procedures in place which you are most welcome to read through should you wish. We are one big family here and I try to work hard to meet the individual needs of each member of our Giggles Family. That goes for your child’s needs and your whole family’s needs.

If you are looking for a home from home childcare environment, full of love, laughter, and wonderful play experiences to suit your child’s individual needs then pop along for a visit, we cannot wait to meet you!

Ria’s Giggles is a fun, caring and safe environment for your child to explore, discover and experience a world of learning through play! My family and I look forward to welcoming you!
