Little Hive Bloomers
Childminder in Becontree, Barking and Dagenham (RM8)
About me
- Qualified Childminder providing registered childcare in a childminding community daycare delivering early years education in a beautiful non-domestic setting at Little Hive Bloomers
- Friendly, nurturing and patient personality with a strong belief in child-led learning and building confident, independent children
- Passionate about offering high-quality childcare to local families in Becontree, inspired by my love for supporting young children to grow, play, learn and thrive
- I enjoy observing children’s interests and using them to plan fun, meaningful learning opportunities
- What makes me different: I offer a warm, home-from-home Childminding approach inside a thoughtfully designed nursery-style environment with much smaller adult-to-child ratios, enabling truly personalised care and attention
- My practice is fully rooted in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), ensuring every child’s development is supported holistically
- Childminding community nursery has 1:3 ratio, more 1-2-1 attention for your child in a homely setting with nurturing care.
