About Me

Hi, My name is Alisha, and I am a registered childminder through an Ofsted-registered childminding agency. I am married and have three boys aged 11, 10, and 2 years. Our household is non-smoking, and I am committed to providing a warm, safe, and friendly home-from-home environment for the children I care for.

Located within walking distance of my home, there is an abundance of green space, along with a nearby large forest area where the children can explore daily. I cater to children aged 6 months to 5 years, with a maximum of two children under the age of 5 in my care during the day. Additionally, I offer before and after school care.

I take great joy in being at home and raising my children, and I am passionate about providing a stimulating, loving, and educational environment for them. This passion extends to the children I care for, as I believe in supporting their growth and development through child-led play, outdoor learning, and observing their progress in reaching developmental milestones.

I am trained in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, safeguarding, child development, and more, and I am dedicated to continuously expanding my knowledge and skills in childcare.

If you are seeking childcare services, please feel free to reach out to me with your requirements or any inquiries you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.

My Experience

I have a diverse background in childcare and healthcare, beginning my career as a nursery practitioner in a nursery setting. I then pursued further education to become a Health Play Specialist, working extensively with children from birth to 18 years in a hospital environment. Additionally, I have experience caring for newborns and facilitating play activities in the neonatal ward.

In community settings, I have consistently provided care for babies and children, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment while offering age-appropriate play activities and resources. My qualifications include Level 2 and 3 in childcare, as well as a foundation degree in Healthcare Play Specialism. This specialized degree encompasses areas such as child development, therapeutic play, developmental play, and more.

I am dedicated to providing high-quality care and support to children across various settings, drawing upon my knowledge and expertise in childcare and healthcare.
