My Summary
About Me
Hello Parents, #(I only work from my home setting )
My name is Ella. I am a mum to two school-aged children and have been a local OFSTED registered childminder for 8 years. I have also previously worked as a safeguarding officer within primary schools playgrounds.
If you are looking for a safe and stimulating environment for your lovely child, then I am available to help. By teaching through play, I can support your child’s language and communication skills and their overall development in an age-appropriate way. My home environment is secure and open-plan, with a designated play area and a large garden for plenty of fresh air. I also have a separate, sleep-safe space available for naps. I also have a park nearby where children in my care will be able to play (closely supervised) and experience nature to further support their mental and physical wellbeing.
Through my home setting, I can provide parents with:
Personalised support with feeding
Potty-training
Nap schedules
You can also expect regular communication to keep you updated on your child’s activity, giving you peace of mind while you are away from your child .
Ask me about:
15 hours and 30 hours entitlement ,student grant,tax free payment.
School pick up and drop off (Eastbrook, William Bellamy, and Rush Green primary schools)
Please get in touch to discuss your childcare needs.
Alcohol, smoke, and pet free home.

Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Ella is a wonderful person, my two children are in her care for almost one year and they are really happy to be there. Ella is reliable and trustworthy. She is sending pictures and videos regularly with the activities they do. Her house is clean and the food that she provides is tasty. Ella is friendly and extremely caring with the children. I recommend Ella to anyone who is looking for a person to care after their child.

Thank you honey , I am here anytime . It's a pleasure to look after E he is very sweet amazing and very caring little child .xx
We have the pleasure of having Ella as our childminder for a short period of time, unfortunately, and I can not recommend her highly enough. From the outset, Ella has shown an incredible level of professionalism, warmth, and dedication to the well-being of our child.
Ella consistently goes above and beyond to accommodate our family's needs, demonstrating an exceptional level of flexibility and understanding. She is highly communicative, keeping us informed about our son's day.
Even though we' ve only known each other for a short time, we have absolute trust in her, and our son seems to be happy with her and her children as well. It is comfortable to know that when we are not around, our child is in such capable and loving hands.
Unfortunately, we have to move abroad soon and we will have to say goodbye to Ella which is not an easy decision. However, should we return to the UK, Ella would be the first person we contact for childminding services. It's rare to find someone as loving and dedicated as her, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Thank you

I can’t recommend Ella highly enough. My son has been with her for over a year and she has been so kind, caring and consistent. The attention and care that goes into her work with him is clear in how excited he is to see her in the mornings.
She does lots of activities with him, cooks great food and he always comes home having had a very happy day. We were lucky in that from the very beginning my son felt very calm and happy with Ella, such a weight off our minds when we first started.
All our communication with Ella has always been easy and clear.

Ella looked after my 2 year old son and kept him engaged and happy. He was fed & changed and well looked after in her lovely home. She sent me constant updates to keep me informed. I would definitely recommend her for childminding.

Shahbana was a pleasure to take care of your little one and thank you for taking time and writing for me .
Anduela has been childminding my son for a year now. She looks after him after school 2-3 times a week.
I have been extremely happy with the care my son has received. Anduela’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my son has great fun playing and learning with Anduela’s son and daughter.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise and help my son With his homework.
Anduela is warm and friendly and has no trouble in gaining my son confidence. She encourage good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home.
All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care my son receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured boy.
I would absolutely recommend Anduela as a great and reliable childminder.

Thank you a lot
Ella was wonderful and made me feel very comfortable using her service for the first time. I have already recommended it to local friends and I plan to use it again in the future.I had an absolutely lovely lady for both me and my son (5 years old). It far exceeded my expectations for a babysitter, she was great and we would love to have her again! Ella is friendly, warm, competent and has a real gift for children. And she was very careful about what I would like, as well as making sure my son was happy. She got straight to the really important things! And he had a great time.
I highly recommend it.❤️
