My Summary
About Me
We have one full time space, we will have more spaces the beginning of September due to children moving on to school.
Welcome to Cheeky Charlies childminding service.
We have a fantastic reputation and are highly recommend by past and present parents, please see our reviews!
My name is Farrah, I have been childminding for 17 years and have 18 years experience with caring for children. Our recent inspection February 2024 we were graded good! We are based just by bloxwich high street, so there is plenty of transportation links to us! I work along side 2x assistants so we are able to care for a few more children than childminders. I have three children of my own boy who's 18, 2xgirls who's are 12 and 3.
I offer a clean, non-smoking and welcoming home with a wide range of educational and fun toys for both indoor and outdoor.
I have dealt with a lot of first times parents who are very nervous/anxious about leaving their child, I understand as I had to do it my self with my own when he was a baby. I have good working relationships with all my parents and their families and make time to discuss any worries/concerns that they may have.
I have a Diploma in childcare, and have completed my NVQ Level 3 CYPWF, and NVQ level 5 in leadership & management in social care and children's services. I have attended many courses with Early Years which do include First Aid and child protection. I have spent 6 months within a nursery setting as manager so I have plenty of experience within the childcare sector. I have recently became a childminder mentor to help new childminders through the process of starting their new roles, also to support and advise.

My little one has been with Farrah since she was 5.5 months old. She is almost 10 months and really flourishing. She loves the environment and gets excited when I drop her off which shows me she is happy there. She is ahead of her milestones and as a first time mum Farrah has communicated every stage with me to help me support her development and to ensure she gets consistency out of all her caregivers. I trust her wholeheartedly with my little one and would recommend her services to anyone.
my daughter who’s 3 has been going to Farrah since February and I have nothing negative to say because my daughter just absolutely loves every second there! Farrah is so lovely and chatty and my daughter comes home with plenty of stories to tell about her days she spends there! 100% recommend! you’re children are in very safe hands
Words can not write how amazing this lady is!! My child absolutely loves going every day! The care he receives is amazing. This is the first time I’ve left my child and I wouldn’t have wanted to leave him with anyone else. Farrah is so understanding and takes her time to ensure he is happy and content! Nothing is ever too much!
Farrah has been amazing with out little girl. She hadn’t been with anyone else because of covid. Returning to work , after maternity leave, Farrah was brilliant at calming us and our daughter. She has been at Cheeky Charlie’s for over 8 months now and the progress she is making is all down Farrah. She knows numbers, colours and animals and their noises. Farrah is great at reassuring you and messages us to let us know that she’s settled. She’s provides a home from home for our little girl and she loves it there. She always says Farrah’s name when at home and asks for her. Our daughter started doing 2 days a week and now goes 4 times a week. She waves us goodbye at the door and goes happily to Farrah..what more could we ask for! She goes above and beyond for our little girl and we’d definitely be lost without her . It’s hard trusting somebody with your child and we were apprehensive about leaving our daughter. After a few weeks of adjusting to a new routine our daughter quickly settled and now she doesn’t look back. One in a million she is xx
My son has been with Farrah for a year now and has honestly loved it from his first day. I feel so at ease waving him off in a morning because I know he will be cared for like one of Farrah’s own children. It’s a real home from home for him, with lots to keep him busy. Communication between Farrah and myself is great too, she is always only a message away. Can’t thank her enough for the care my child receives when he is with her.
