My Summary
About Me
Hi,
My name is Chiara, I'm a mum of two lovely boys, and love what I do! I'm originally from Italy and can speak English and Italian fluently along with a little bit of Spanish, Turkish and French.
I've been an ofsted registered childminder since January 2011 and love my job!
I have a BA Hons in early childhood studies and I've also got an up to date food hygiene certificate, first aid and crb check.
I am based on Gadesden Road where I live with my two lovely boys who love being with other children.
I strive to provide children with a home away from home environment, and always make sure I look after other people's children as if they were my own, always trying to give each child the attention they require. I organize outings to local libraries and parks, as well as organized trips to farms, zoos and other places. On a Monday we attend forest school and the children love it! They get to spend time outdoors and learn loads of new skills, as well and enjoying the end treat or two!
I provide two fresh home cooked meals along with breakfast and snacks for all children and can cater for food allergies and intolerances.
I can collect and drop off at St. Clements Catholic Primary School in West Ewell.
Please feel free to contact me for any further details and information :-)

Below are the latest reviews for Chiara. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Chiara has been looking after my son for almost 2 years and we absolutely love her, and the setting that she has created in her home. His development during his time with Chiara has been brilliant, it's wonderful to see his relationships with her and the other children develop further.
We were put at ease completely from Day 1 with her attitude towards her work and the care and attention that Chiara provides for all of her charges. Her home is welcoming, comforting, and full of fun for our son - including lots of trips to parks, libraries, forest school, and soft play. The children also often play with other childminders/children in the area which I feel is a great opportunity for our son to interact with different children/settings.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder in the area!

My son has been with Chiara since he was 11months until he is nearly three. I have only good things to say, she was always dedicated and lovely with him and reassuring to me as a parent.
They do a range of different activities and trips at the same time as she sticks to healthy routines. She provides a variety of meals that my son loves and makes sure there is time to feedback at the end of each day.
We are truly gutted that my son’s time with Chiara is coming to an end and I would 100% recommend her to any parents looking for a lovely, hard working and dedicated childminder for their kids.

Chiara has looked after my little boy for almost 2 years from the age of 10 months through to 2 and a half. From the very start she made both he and I feel comfortable and he has absolutely loved his time there - and it had been great for me to see him develop and flourish under her care and support.
She provides a number of fun and varied activities throughout the week and always engages him so well in these - keeping him occupied and well stimulated - and he has come on leaps and bounds in terms of his general development.
I think the highest recommendation I can give is that my little boy is truly sad to be coming to the end of his time at the setting - which speaks volumes for the relationship he has built with Chiara, the fun he has whilst he is there and the safe and comfortable day to day environment. As a parent I appreciate the regular communication and updates and time spent chatting through any particular issues. Thank you Chiara!

Chiara was my childminder for 2.5 years and I could not have been blessed with a better person to watch my son. She is amazingly talented with kids and it really shows in the development I saw in my son from spending time and learning from her. She has a very spacious and comfortable setting and offered a lot of activities and enjoyable experiences for my son. She was always very flexible and very efficient especially during the pandemic. She kept my son motivated and always keen to go back. I would definitely recommend Chiara to any parent as she was a great addition to my sons life and if there is ever an opportunity for me to work with her again she will be my first call. Thank you Chiara for everything!!!

Chiara is a wonderful childcare professional who made us feel calm right from the very first meeting.
Her child-centric approach integrates a lot of sensory activities, creative development and time in nature. Our two year old daughter has been with Chiara for over half a year, and we could not recommend Chiara highly enough!
Our little one loves the setting, spending time with other children in Chiara's care, taking part in Forest School activities, and has shown great progress in all areas of development since joining. As parents we also appreciate a good level of communication and genuine investment in our child that Chiara offers. She is a wonderful childminder who genuinely loves what she does!
