My Summary
Christine And Bernie's Childminding Service
About Me
My name is Christine but most of the children in my care love to call me Auntie Diddine. I have been a Registered Childminder since 2004 and work alongside my husband Bernie, who has also been a Registered Childminder since 2009. We are blessed with two children Zoe and Glenn who have now flown the nest and four beautiful grandchildren.
We live minutes from Bow Church DLR Station and benefit from having a private playground on our flat grounds which the children who we care for love and able to utilise all year round.
My Experience
I have been Childminding since 2004 caring for children aged 3 months to 8 years old. Throughout the years, I have had experience of working with children with speech and mobility difficulties which enabled me to have to work alongside a variety of different professionals such as physiotherapist, speech and occupational therapists and portage.
I offer support running our local drop-in centre and have previously worked in a primary school as an Assistant and a Midday Meal Supervisor.

Our daughter has been with Christine and Bernie full time (M-F 730-530) since she was 12 months old. From the day she started, they have welcomed her into her home and treated both our daughter and us as family. They provide an incredibly loving and fun environment which our daughter has really thrived and grown in. We know that she’s in amazing and safe care everyday and in a setting where she is engaged, nurtured and loved. Christine goes above and beyond to keep us in the loop from providing daily diaries of what activities they’ve done and what they’ve eaten that day. They send photos and videos and you can see the joy the kids have playing! They truly are incredible caregivers and any child would be lucky to be in there care!
