My Summary
About Me
My name is Stella and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I am married with 3 children and passionate about providing the best childcare for any child under my care. My family and I live in Merrow and near Burpham in Guildford. We look forward to welcoming your child from year 0-12 years to our warm and loving child friendly facility located in a cul de sac area, where we will have lots of fun and giggles whilst following the Statutory Framework of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
My Experience
I have worked as a registered general nurse for over 23 years in many hospitals and departments including paediatric emergency units and children's wards both home and abroad. I have cared for my 3 children and enjoyed looking after them and watching them grow in their own pace. I gained experience in childcare since my first child was born 16 years ago.

Stella has looked after our 5-month-old, E, twice now. Stella is brilliant with her - she is really calm which really helps to settle E who finds it difficult to be separated from us. Stella makes a point of sending us video updates on how E is getting on which really helps reassure us as first-time parents. We're really glad to have found Stella

Hi Mitra, I appreciate your kind words
It has been nice working with your family
We will do well to keep it up
My two boys (4 and 2) started with Stella after previously being in an unsuitable nursery setting. We were really nervous about our boys being placed with a childminder but Stella has been fantastic every step of the way. On our first visit she took the time to listen to all of our worry’s and general all about information. Our eldest has a restricted diet and Stella has been fantastic every step of the way to ensure he is accommodated. Stella offers a lovely area for the children and a safe indoor and outdoor space. We are so happy that our boys are in Stella’s care whilst we work. We wish we had found her sooner!
