My Summary
About Me
I've been a qualified childminder based in Merton Park (Buckleigh Avenue) since 2000.
I have a wonderful 4 bedroom home where my setting is based. Within my home I have large area on the ground floor where the children can play a wide variety of toys, dress up, make puzzles and read books. 1 of the 4 bedrooms in my home is designated to my childcare and is where the children sleep on a daily basis. When its not nap time, this room is a kids wonderland with a huge array of toys, books, pictures and bundles of fun for the children to enjoy.
I have access to a garden where the children play their summer afternoons away, watering the plants, jumping in and out of the paddling pool and picnicking.
I offer a friendly, stimulating, caring and safe environment for all aged children. I provide a large range of activities, books, toys and games including taking the children on outings to parks, farms, museums, the library and children’s centers.
I am very proud of my job and the experience I have managed to gain over the years within this field but most of all I'm proud of the relationships I've managed to gain and keep with the children and parents that have been in my care.
I look after children from 4 months up to 11 years (end of primary school)
I offer pick up/drop offs from a number of schools in and around my area. I currently only do school rounds for St John Fisher.
If you would like any further information about my childcare please contact me on the contact details provided.
My Experience
I've been a childminder since 2000 and have a wealth of knowledge and experience in childcare. Having gained the experience I have in the past I also understand that there is a consistent need to keep updated on current affairs in this changing world when it comes to all aspects related to children and childcare. I therefore attend regular refresher courses and new courses on topics I have not yet come across.
In conclusion, my experience is vast but also a work in progress.

My son began attending Naina's when he was 4 months old. Naina's setting offers a personal touch and she has organised her home to meet the needs of the children in her care – she truly goes above and beyond.
Naina offers regular outings, which gives the opportunity for children to explore and be adventurous. She provides a variety of nutritious meals and encourages children to try different foods.
Naina is so professional and takes immense pride in providing an excellent service. She is organised, structured and recognises each child's individuality. That freedom and exposure to so many activities, environments and experiences has definitely had a direct impact on the happiness and roundedness of my son. Her knowledge and experience have been invaluable to us as first time parents.
I cannot recommend her highly enough, she cares so much about the children (and their families) in her care and her positivity and energy are infectious.

Our son (4) has been going to Naina‘s for over 3 years and our daughter (1.5) for 6 months and both absolutely love going there. Naina offers a very loving and caring home away from home for our kids, she has a wealth of experience working with children of all ages, is very flexible and an all round lovely person. We couldn’t wish for a better childminder and we genuinely don’t know what we would do without her.

Hi thank you for review. very good.
Naina.
Naina has been looking after my two children for the last two years, she does the school run to St John Fisher RC primary school for us and both of them are extremely happy. Naina's flexible and honest and we've never had any issues. I couldnt recommend her highly enough.
