My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder working alongside my husband who is my registered assistant. We offer a home from home setting for children of all ages. Together we have been running our childminding service for over 11 years, with the children enjoying each day with planned activities focused on their development milestones.
We have our own allotment by Peckham Rye that we encourage the children to explore. The children have their own plot to plant and grow a variety of fruit, vegetables and flowers which they are welcomed to take home once they’ve grown. We also have chickens and an interactive outdoor play area with sand and water with toys included.
Our food menu includes home made nutritious meals using the organic produce grown at the allotment - including eggs from the chickens! Typically the menu includes a range of meat, fish and vegetarian options with breakfast, lunch and snacks available.
My Experience
Before becoming a Childminder, I was an NNEB qualified Nursery Nurse for 4 years before having my own children. I have been a registered childminder for 14 years and my husband has been a registered assistant for 12 years. From my last Ofsted inspection I was graded "Good" in all areas. I am also a member of PACEY and follow the EYFS guidelines.
Me and my husband have 4 children and love to see the children we mind so happy and we enjoy forming a bond with not only the children but their parents as well. As parents ourselves, we know how important the happiness of your child is and this is something we are confident we can provide.
My Qualifications
• NNEB Nursery Nurse Diploma
• NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Children’s Care, Learning and Development with all relevant checks including DBS for both my husband and myself, as well as our own children who are over 16
• First Aid and Safeguarding certificates

Our daughter has been with Luisa for the last 18 months and we couldn’t be happier with the care she has received there. She has such a varied week with different activities and is surrounded by a lovely group of other children.
She has developed and learnt so much since being with Luisa and loves her and her husband like family. There has always been very good communication and we couldn’t recommend any more.

Our son was with SuperMum for a year and absolutely loved his time there. The days were full of outings and fun, every week there were different activities, and he was well stimulated with music, arts and crafts. He also loved visiting their allotment and helping out there, which they did regularly.
Supermum and her husband provided our son with a loving and safe environment that he responded brilliantly to.
Highly recommended.

Overall
After meeting a few childminders I knew Supermum was the right fit for us. Our son has attended for just over a year now and he is so happy there. The environment is really nurturing, he has learnt a huge amount since he's been in their care, and he clearly loves spending time with them.
They give him a rich variety of activities to do, usually including a lot of outdoor time, which is really important for him and us. There are games, toys, projects, crafts, we've got a fridge covered in his artworks! They also never put the TV on, which is demonstrative of their professionalism and good planning. They communicate his progress well with us, both through a private and secure app, and face-to-face. We both enjoy drop offs and pickups because they're really nice, easygoing people who we feel comfortable chatting with. It's also clear to see during this time that our son is very happy and comfortable with them too.
They also do things properly; by this I mean any bumps, scrapes, illnesses, medicine administered, etc. either in their care, or with us, is always dealt with by-the-book. This isn't something we would ever have thought about while we were looking for childminders, but having seen the way that they deal with this type of thing - and anything admin based - we really have utmost confidence that he's in safe hands.
Our son is currently 23 months, and just starting to string together 4-5 words in sentences. Firstly, we think they have encouraged his speech fantastically, and secondly, when he's with us he chats really positively about them.
It's great to have such a supportive childminder who feels almost like a co-parent for your kids. Can't recommend highly enough.

Supermum and her husband looked after both my children from the age of one and I could not recommend them more highly. They provided nurturing, professional care that enabled our children to grow in confidence and independence in a secure and loving environment.
She is extremely experienced at taking care of children and we benefitted from her advice on many occasions – from sleep problems to potty training. She soon had our sleep-challenged son on a routine that led to him napping properly and sleeping through the night within a week or two of starting. A miracle!
The children particularly liked their frequent visits to the allotment where they helped feed the chickens, grew vegetables, and picnicked on sunny days. We enjoyed eating the tomatoes and green beans that our daughter planted as seeds at the allotment.
When our son went to nursery aged 3, the manager said he must have had an excellent childminder to make such a smooth transition, and I couldn’t agree more.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this childminding service to parents.

Our son was looked after by Supermum for over two and a half years and we can not recommend them highly enough!
They provide a caring, nurturing, safe and professionally run environment for the children in which they are encouraged to play, learn and explore. The children have access to a range of educational and fun activities and make daily visits to parks and play groups, and often venture out to city farms, museums and even a lavender farm! They have a wonderful allotment nearby which has provided endless fun for our son, who loves the chickens, picking fruit and veg and learning all about growing. It is a huge asset and a real treat to have access to (we also often benefit from the delicious produce that they grow!)
We have very much felt like part of the family, and supermum and her family have welcomed us in into what has become a home from home. This has been a really important and valued part of their care.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this childcare setting. Any child would be lucky to experience it and we are so grateful to them for a fantastic two and a half years!
