My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm Lena I'm a 31 year old Childminder living in Reading.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and 1 year old son Luca. I love being outside and exploring new places, this also enables me to keep fit as well as seeing some beautiful places. I’m very creative and enjoy doing arts, crafts and watching cooking programs as it inspires me. I also enjoy reading, watching movies and listening to music.
My Experience
Welcome to Lena's Little Ladybirds, where adventure and learning go hand in hand! I'm a caring childcare professional in Caversham Park, Reading, dedicated to providing a nurturing home-away-from-home for your little ones.
Our spacious playroom is filled with an abundance of toys and activities, ensuring every child feels right at home. We have plenty of fun educational items to explore numbers, letters, colours, and animals—learning is always a joyful experience here!
When it’s time to unwind, we cozy up in our lounge for story time, where imaginations can soar as we dive into the world of books.
I believe in the power of play, especially outside! Our large garden is a playground paradise with slides, swings, and a vegetable patch where children can plant, care for, and harvest their own fruits and veggies. It’s all about discovering how things grow!
With over 14 years of experience in a nursery and as a nanny, I’m passionate about helping children blossom to their full potential. I love creating schedules and routines that promote discipline and good behaviour while ensuring fun remains at the heart of our day.
Communication is key! I make it a priority to share feedback, ideas, and any challenges with you, so we can work together to support your child's development.
Healthy eating is another passion of mine. I whip up delicious, nutritious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we often cook and bake together, learning about good hygiene along the way. Plus, we enjoy regular walks and outdoor activities to keep those little bodies active!
From phonics to everyday skills like brushing teeth and feeding themselves, I guide children through their learning journey while encouraging creativity with painting and playdough.
Toilet training? I’ve successfully helped many children start this important milestone, usually around age two.
At Lena's Little Ladybirds, we thrive on creating a warm and familiar routine that helps every child feel safe and happy. I can’t wait to welcome your family into our little community!
