My Summary
About Me
Hi thanks for looking at my profile. I have been a childminder for the past 25 years I have 3 grown up children of my own. So that I could be at home for my children, I became a childminder, and have loved every day. I have had most of my childminder children from a young age, and have seen them go on to secondary school. I still see most of my children now that they have grown up and moved on.. I currently care for school age children and pre-school children. I have an assistant that works alongside me. I offer term time only contracts and school holiday contracts and full/part time contracts I also drop/collect children from gravel hill school in bexleyheath
My Experience

I have also been recommended by these parents to friends and families, who require my services. We have a beautiful log cabin full of resources, the children thrive in the environment,
I always try to give the children that I care for a varied experience, from arts and crafts to playing at the park, to visits to the local farms, zoos and coast.

Christine is a one of a kind childminder. She truly embraces your child and makes their days enjoyable in a loving environment. My almost 3 year old daughter is very sensitive to people and environments. She couldn't get on in the nursery setting due to the loudness and chaotic environment. She struggles with being surrounded by a lot of children. She also didn't settle with her last childminder because she craves affection.
Christine has made drop off and pick up a breeze. I no longer have a crying toddler for the whole car journey, or having to have her prized from my arms because she's so sad to be there.
My daughter loves Christine, and her time with her. There have been days when she cries because she wants to go straight back in to 'nanny Christines'.
I couldn't be happier!
And now my 1 yr old boy goes to her too.
It's the most amazing feeling knowing your children are safe, loved and looked after in the best place. And with such a fantastic setting.

Christine and Charlotte have been looking after my son since he was 10 months old. They treat him as if he were one of their own children. I have no concerns whatsoever regarding the care provided to my son. He loves going there and is happy when I collect him. He's had some wonderful experiences with Christine and Charlotte and I will be sending my daughter there too.

My daughter has been looked after by tiny people child minding since October last year. She loves her time with Christine and her personality has really come out even if she is a little crazy at times
Christine is so nice and I can go to work knowing she is going to have a fun day and I don't need to worry as my daughter is in good hands

I didn't realise that you had written a review. Thank you it means a lot to know that you're happy with molly being in my career
My little boy has been going to this childminder since he was 6 months, and I can say he has had a fabulous time there, he has gown into a lovely little character and has impecable manners. He is now coming up to 4 and will be going to school in september, but he will look forward to seeing her in the holidays. Very reliable and experienced childminder, just what every mother needs.
