About Me
Hi, my name is Mikki. I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder in Ashtead, Surrey. I have been a childminder for 7.5 years and worked in the childcare profession for over 20 years. Most of my experience is in Early Years, where I have worked in a variety of settings. My most recent Ofsted inspection was in October 2021 which was graded Good.
I live in Ashtead with my husband and three boys. We live in a quiet road, local to schools and a 10 minute walk to the train station.
I enjoy being outdoors, going for walks on the common, feeding the ducks and visiting the park. I have a National Trust and RHS Wisley membership, where I enjoy taking the children. I also take the children to local toddler groups where they can socialise with their peers.
My Experience
I have over 20 years experience working with children. I have full knowledge of the EYFS and know how to implement the curriculum with a variety of activities and play. I have a good understanding of children's development and am able to plan age and stage appropriate activities/toys. I also understand that each child is an individual and to meet all their needs. I have been a childminder for 7.5 years now and I love offering home from home care to the children and families.

My son started with Mikki in January and goes to her 2 days a week. He gets very excited when I tell him he’s going to Mikki’s house for the day, we’ve never had any tears on drop off! Mikki’s house is lovely and clean, with lots of variety of toys. She always takes the children out which my son thoroughly enjoys. I love getting my daily pictures showing how much fun he’s having. I’m so happy with quickly my son has settled and and would definitely recommend Mikki.

Mikki is a very kind and nurturing childminder. She looks after our 3 year old son on Mondays and he always has such a fantastic time. They visit lots of playgroups which he really enjoys and has made some lovely friends.
I would highly recommend Mikki especially if you are looking for someone very caring.

Mikki is amazing, she has a very kind nature and has a real passion for what she does. Mikki provides a variety of fun activities, and sends regular updates / photos throughout the day.
We are very happy with the care Mikki provides our Daughter and would highly recommend.
