Childcare space available 3/4 days from July/Sep.


Recommended Posts

I am an Ofsted registered childminder with a 3/4 day space available Mon-Thurs from July. I also have a space becoming available for September.Both spaces are due to little ones moving on to nursery and school.

I have worked in Dulwich for 11 years childminding with local families.I have a spacious house just by the park on St Aidan's rd, we use the open plan downstairs for minding and we have a lovely back garden for the children to enjoy. I was rated good with outstanding features on my inspection last year.we go out every day to groups in the local area and take advantage of the beautiful open spaces and parks and of course the lovely Hornimans. Please get in touch by pm and we can arrange a chat.

Lorna is amazing


She has the space because our son is moving on to nursery having been with her since he was 7 months old but it is now time for nursery. When we first met her our son liked to make a lot of noise. Lorna's first observation was 'oh he likes to sing' - that's so different than others who had said 'oh he likes to make noise' ... and he's been singing with her ever since.


Lorna has been nothing short of amazing. She is loving, kind, playful, observant, flexible, communicative, straightforward - everything you could want. She's all of these things for parents just as much as she is for the children. Our son has flourished under Lorna's care. He runs to her door every day and gives her a big hug when she opens the door. We can tell he feels very safe, very secure and he has some great friends.


She's flexible and accommodating - Our son wears cloth nappies - not a problem; another child (his best friend) is a vegetarian and again no problem. She's partnered with us when he was weaning and now that we are trying (and trying) potty training.


Lorna offers advice and guidance gently and when asked - but not when not.


On a day to day basis Lorna offers an excellent mix of the small scale of a childminder (giving our son one key person to whom he is very attached and feels very comfortable) with larger group and socialisation through daily morning groups with other children. They have picnics and parties and swimming and ...


I can not recommend her highly enough.

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
