About Me
Hello! My name is Radia and I am a passionate and dedicated OFSTED registered childminder with spectacular levels of experience in providing exceptional childcare. I am a proud mother to my 15 year old daughter who is preparing for her upcoming GCSE exams. I am loving and caring and have a great passion in providing bright futures for little ones! I believe in creating a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive and grow.
I offer a safe and loving in-home setting, filled with engaging Montessori activities that cater to the developmental needs of each child with a variety of different types of play. I ensure that every day is filled with fun and great learning opportunities, ensuring that your child is in safe and capable hands. I also prioritise clear and open communication with parents, providing regular updates and photos to keep you informed about your Childs day.
In my care, I prioritise providing healthy and nutritious meals to ensure that each child receives a balanced diet. The menu I prepare is thoughtfully designed to include a variety of nutrient rich foods that support growth and development. I also cater to different dietary needs to preferences, making sure that all meals are both delicious and nutritious. By offering a diverse menu, I help children recognise and develop healthy eating habits and an appreciation for different foods from an early age.
My overall goal is to support each child's individual needs and help them build confidence, social skills and a love for learning. I look forward to welcoming your child into my care and working together to provide them with the best possible start in life.

We have had the privilege of knowing Ms Radia through her work as a SENCO at our children's nursery. Her impact on our family has been profound, and we are thrilled to hear that she is now opening her own childminding setting.
From our first encounter, Ms Radia stood out as an exceptional individual, always eager to help and generous with her time. She was the first to identify that our child had special needs, a realization that allowed us to understand our situation and take the necessary next steps. Thanks to her guidance and signposting, we knew where to turn for additional support, and she worked directly with our child, providing the care and attention he needed.
With her extensive experience working closely with children of all ages and backgrounds, Ms Radia has developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviours. Her ability to foster growth and learning in each child she encounters is a testament to her skill and dedication.
Ms Radia has a natural ability to connect with children and understand their unique needs. She is always compassionate and patient, treating each child with the utmost care and respect. Her commitment to putting others first and her genuine love for all the children she works with is evident in everything she does.
Her warmth and kindness create a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Knowing that she is now bringing these wonderful qualities to her own childminding setting is a great comfort to us and will be a blessing to many other families.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ms Radia's childminding services. With her dedication, compassion, and remarkable patience, she will undoubtedly provide the highest quality care for all children. We are immensely grateful for all she has done for our family and are confident that she will continue to make a positive difference in the lives of many more.

I am so lucky my daughter was cared for by Radia, my daughter loved to go into nursery and Radia was always so friendly welcoming which put me at ease. I loved the updates through the app to show me what my daughter had been doing throughout her day and her activities look so much fun. The most important thing was my daughter was happy. I would recommend Radia, she is a kind and loving person.
