My Summary
About Me
Hi I'm Broni, my family and I have recently moved to Bexhill from Tunbridge wells.
I am Ofsted registered and have been a childminder for 15 years.
I currently have some part time slots available from Dec23.
I really enjoy my job and love seeing the children develop as they grow up . I offer a home environment , focusing on child lead with lots of outdoor time . I like to keep my child ratio low so I can give each child as much quality time as possible . I work from my family home near Egerton Park Bexhill. I have a caring setting where children can learn, play and explore. I live with my husband and our two children ( 17and 18 who attend Tonbridge grammar school. We also have a young Newfoundland dog ( 2 years ) named Cello. He is incredibly good with children and is very much part of our home , he loves being read to , having his tummy tickled and has spent most of his puppy life surrounded by children. He has a large play pen and loves being taken out to the park and beach. Cello is never left alone with children, I feel very strongly about this and it’s one of my policies.
I am available for Crowhurst school drop / pick ups. Please ask for fees. I may have after school space for other schools in the area.
I'm happy to do drop off / pickups from the local schools , including Battle Abby and Claremont , if there is a space. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
I have availability 4 days a week . Please contact me for details and possible flexibility. I'm also available for evening / weekend babysitting/Nanny
I’m signed up to the tax free childcare system .
I'm available for school holidays childcare , or for anyone who is on holiday and requires a babysitter either eve or during the day. Do contact me if you need need a evening off :-)
I'm a great fan of the outdoors and believe children thrive in outdoor space . I regularly take the children on walks in the woods , parks , and the beach whatever the weather. We walk to the library for music time and get books out each week. We attend toddler groups ( HTH) and do weekly trips to the Bexhill museum and the De La Warr Pavilion. We have a beach hut near the Goat ledge in St Leonards and I regularly take the children to the hut for morns/ afternoons out. I live very near to the park and visit after school most days.
I love doing arts and crafts / messy play and have various activities available.
I prepare healthy, snacks for the children and encourage them to develop good eating habits. Wherever possible try to use organic ingredients. Also where appropriate chemical free soaps and plastic free wipes.
Our house is a 10 min walk from Collington mainline rail station and a 15 min walk from Bexhill station .
I have lots of references available from my Tunbridge wells families and my current families in Bexhill should you wish to contact them.
The children I look after I often take care of for a long period of their lives and they very much become part of our family. I feel I am reliable and understand the challenges of parenting and provide a supportive environment in which parents can confide and children thrive.
I have Good inspection grades from Ofsted but in Dec 22 I was given Met. This is because I wasn’t running my business yet and I had no children present for Ofsted to grade me on, so they give you Met. Please see Ofsted notes below.

So thankful we found Broni to look after our daughter (1yo), we can happily leave her knowing she is well looked after, happy and accessing plenty of opportunities to learn and play. Broni and our daughter have built such a lovely relationship and we are confident that all her needs are being met.
Communication between ourselves and Broni is great we love our daily updates and photos.
We had our 4 year old boy being looked after by Broni over the holidays on short notice and she has been nothing short of remarkable - great comms, lots of varied activities, a really positive soul and a new found friend! Thank you Broni, we are very grateful.
I couldn't recommend Broni highly enough. She's been amazing with our little boy (2) over the last few months. So much time outside, on the beach, in the park. She's been super responsive to his likes and needs. We miss her!
She has helped with school pick-ups for my 5 and 7-year-old boys, and spent time with them till I finished work at 5:30. I found her extremely reliable, helpful, and flexible. I am very keen to take my boys outdoors after school and she was very much on board with this and has been taking them to the beach, woodland, and parks so my children have plenty of activities in nature which I do love. She also took them to the local museum and did reading when my eldest was struggling. She provided my boys' food each day which were healthy snacks, such as homemade sandwiches, ice lollies, and fruits. My boys love her dog, Cello, who they spend time with and take him for walks, and play fetch.
Bronia was always kind, caring, and loving towards the boys. She is very observant about their development and good at keeping me informed.
All in all, I am thoroughly happy with the level of care my children receive from Bronia and couldn't recommend her enough.
Broni has looked after my daughter since she was 9 months old and I'm very, very happy with the way that she has taken her in to her home, provided her with a warm, friendly environment and given her many different experiences and learning situations that have helped her grow into a happy, inquisitive, clever, confident and active little girl.
