My Summary
Ofsted Registered Childminder In London Harrow
About Me
Hello
I am an Ofsted registered childminder with over 15 years experience. I am based in central Harrow. HA1 located approx a 8 to 10 min walk from Harrow On The Hill station and a 10 min walk from harrow and Wealdstone station.
I am CRB checked, a member of Pacey, fully insured and hold a Paediatric First Aid Certificate (updated every three years)
I am registered with the London Borough Of Harrow
I attend regular early years training courses to maintain a well informed and progressive approach to the care I provide.
I specialise in providing care for babies and children in the early years age group 0-4yrs
and I offer a real home from home experience for the children entrusted to my care.
Children are very warmly welcomed and quickly settle in. I provide a fun child focused and enriching experience for children in a safe, comfortable, and secure home from home environment.
Children are stimulated daily through play using engaging resources and activities such as story telling, music and dance, dress up, role play, sensory play, arts and crafts and physical play opportunities both indoors and outdoors.
Children are guided using individually tailored support and encouragement to enable each unique child to reach his or her full developmental potential (whilst having lots of fun learning and growing)
Play resources are targeted to encourage and support learning across all areas of the EYFS and children make great developmental progress.
I work in close partnership with parents to obtain the best possible outcomes for all the children in my care.
My home is bright, spacious and welcoming, equipped with an exclusive playroom and a private and secure garden with lots of age appropriate play equipment choices for the children….a playhouse, fruit and veg growing area, trikes, water table, sand pit, slide and much more.
I provide healthy balanced meals and snacks and encourage children to make healthy choices.
My Experience
I have childcare experience both on a personal level as a parent of three now grown up children and professionally for over 15years as an ofsted registered childcare provider.
Previously I was regional manager for community care services.
And bereavement counselling practitioner.

Priscilla cared for my daughter for two wonderful years, and we could not have been happier with the experience.
Priscilla’s daily updates were a highlight for us as parents. She kept us informed about my daughter’s activities, meals and milestones, giving us peace of mind and making us feel involved in her day even when we couldn’t be there. It was clear from these updates—and from my daughter’s excitement every morning—that she truly loved her time with Priscilla.
Priscilla created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where my daughter could thrive. We always felt confident leaving her in Priscilla’s care, knowing she was in capable and loving hands.
We are so grateful for the care and dedication Priscilla showed during those two years, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate childminder.

Priscilla is simply the best childminder we could've asked for. Recommended to us by a friend, from the moment we met Priscilla we felt comfortable and my then 9 month old little girl did too. My little girl really suffered with separation anxiety at first but Priscilla brought her through it with so much love and care. A wonderful setting, clean, good food and excellent communication - Priscilla really cares about the children like they are her own - 10/10 all round!

As I new mum, I found the idea of finding a childminder for my then 9-month-old daughter quite daunting but from the moment we met Priscilla, all my anxieties went away. My daughter and Priscilla made and instant connection and from then on it didn’t feel like I was leaving my child because I knew that she was going to be so well cared for. Priscilla creates a loving, homely environment, yummy home-cooked meals (my daughter never stopped eating!) and is so attentive to each of the little ones. It’s clear when you meet her that this isn’t just a job to her it’s a calling and I would recommend her again and again. My daughter only left to enter a nursery school environment when she turned two and Priscilla is still greatly missed!

Priscilla is simply the best!
My daughter has been with her for over a year now and thoroughly enjoys being under her care. From moment I met Priscilla in her home I felt very comfortable, her place is so clean, lots of toys, books, arts-crafts the garden is great too with lots for the kids to do. I’d been to see a few places but nowhere compared to Priscilla’s with what she could offer.
I was very anxious in the beginning as my daughter was very attached to me and can get quite upset when being left. Priscilla made me feel at ease, ensuring that I was sent regular updates and photographs. It's never easy leaving your child, but Priscilla and her family have truly become a big part of our lives, for my daughter its a home from home.
She has lots of activities to offer both in her house setting and outside and I have seen my daughter developing significantly in her care. She seems to be always very attentive and fully aware of the developmental needs of the children in her care and is extremely generous, patient, and highly skilled when dealing with children in her care.
The daily smile on my daughter's face after a long day, confirms Priscilla is a GREAT childminder!
I would highly recommend her to everyone!

I will be forever grateful that I found Priscilla! My son started was with her 2 days a week from 9 months old and from the moment we met her I knew this was the right place for him and he would be well looked after and happy. Ellis absolutely loved being at Priscillas and I never had any worries whilst he was there. Ellis and I were made to feel so welcome and I felt I could speak to Priscilla about anything. Priscilla is a caring and loving lady and treats the children she looks after as if they were her own. Her setting is so homely and clean and plenty to keep the children occupied. Ellis made friends and learned plenty of new skills whilst in her care. I would class Priscilla as a family friend and was so very sad when it was time to move on. She will always be very special to myself and my son. Thank you for everything.

Our daughter, age 4.5, has been in Priscilla's care twice a week since she was 1 year old. We really cannot speak highly enough of Priscilla & the care she has provided for our daughter. It certainly is a home from home setting that Priscilla provides. Echoing other reviews, we also truly value how our daughter has been so very warmly welcomed into Priscilla's home & family during her time there. The nurturing & enriching environment created by Priscilla and tailored for each child in her care, has supported our daughter's development across all areas in these crucial early years. We are forever grateful that we found Priscilla; and have always had complete peace of mind that our daughter has been in the absolute best of hands during her time there. What more can a parent ask for. We will miss Priscilla. She comes highly recommended.

We are extremely lucky and fortunate to have had Priscilla look after our little boy over the last year and a half. My son was only 9/10 months old when he initially started going to Priscilla and despite the fact that he was clingy to me and difficult to settle during the first couple of months I never doubted that Priscilla’s setting was the best possible place for him. Once my son did settle he has absolutely thrived under her care and I could not have been happier with how things have worked out.
Priscilla’s setting is absolutely gorgeous and she has wonderful resources and spaces for the children to play both inside and out. My son is extremely physically active and particularly loves his time outside in the garden and on the trampoline. She also regularly takes the children on outings and play dates with other child minders. My son is now over 2 years old and I have noticed many wonderful things happening due to his time at Priscilla’s. His confidence has grown hugely and he loves spending time with the other minded children and worships Priscilla’s own lovely children whom he chatters about constantly. His language skills have also developed and Priscilla has constantly nurtured and helped him with repetition and reinforcement. It is also particularly pleasing that he now has wonderful manners and always says please and thank you!
I feel the very best thing about Priscilla is her confidence and expertise with the younger age group. She really seems to understand little people and equally they adore her! I feel absolutely confident that when I leave my son with her that he is in the very good hands and that he will have the very best and most enriching experience possible.
Thank you Priscilla and family for everything you have done for Teddy!

Priscilla began caring for our 2 lovely boys in 2011. Following a year on maternity leave she resumed caring for our boys and 1 year old daughter. She is amazing with the children and they adore her. She is patient, kind, confident and reliable. She has 3 delightful children of her own and their generosity in relation to both their home and time is a testament to their upbringing. They are gentle and nurturing towards the younger children cared for within their environment and their influence is positive and enriching. Our children enjoy a wide variety of home cooked meals within a family setting. Priscilla's knowledge of the local area and pre-schools/school is excellent. Her home is within walking distance of a lovely park and the play resources both inside but especially outside are exceptional. The children are stimulated through play, conversation and story telling. We are completely confident and happy leaving our children in Priscilla's care.

Pris100childcare has been minding our son (2 years) since last 14 months. We consider ourselves really lucky to have found her!
She has been very caring and loving and has take great care of our son, to the extent that he is almost a part of her family. The environment she provides is very much like a home. Her children treat our son like their younger brother. Our son seems to have enjoyed every moment of his at Pris100childcare's place and has always happily waved bye to us at drop off. She has been very accomodative and understanding, maintains detailed day diaries and progress reports, organises play dates with other childminders. We have seen good progress in our son's development.
We, and particularly our son, will surely miss her. If we were not relocating, then our son would have continued going to her place.
She come highly recommended from us.
Thank you Pris100childcare, for everything that you did for our son. Couldn't have asked for more!

Priscilla has been minding my daughter Amara (16 months) since Oct 2012, and I am overjoyed to have found such a gem of a childminder at such short notice.
She has been wonderfully affectionate and attentive to Amara - I have noted some significant strides in Amara's development in the last few months (mainly social but also physical). Priscilla's home environment is very safe and ideal for childminding. Her children are lovely and treat Amara like one of the family.
When I leave for work I have complete peace of mind that my little girl is being very well looked after. Thank you Priscilla & family!
