Hi Henretta
I am a university qualified mum of 4 turned childminder for the last 10 years. All my children are in full time school aged 5-15. I am available for the days you are looking for in September on a term time only basis. I have two siblings I look after part-time at the moment from 12 pm - 4pm and have done since they were babies. However, the eldest is about to start full time school in September so I will no longer be looking after him sadly. His younger sister will be at nursery until 12 pm. So I could look after your daughter as well. In the mornings before Clara's nursery pick up. I can do playgroup, soft play, library visits, music class, etc. Then after 12pm until 4 pm your daughter would have a little playmate. Clara is 3 years old. She is a lovely social little girl.
I live very close to Balham and Streatham too as I live on Prentis Road SW16.
The main difference between a nanny and a childminders is that a Nanny looks after the children in their own home whereas childminders look after children in their home. Nannys do not have to be OFSTED registered and inspected whereas childminders do. So actually childminders are more closely monitored! As I live, I think, probably very close to you I think it may be possible that you could drop your daughter to my house quite easily and like wise I could probably drop her back for you at the end of the day. My house has 3 parking spaces so if you wanted to leave your car here after dropping her that would also be a possibility. I am very close to Streatham Hill Station and Streatham Station.
I live in a very large house with a dedicated playroom as well as a bedroom with a proper cot for children I look after. Clara has now grown out of this.
I have excellent references from all the parents whose children I have looked after which I can show you and, of course, you could speak to my current parent. I am ofsted registered, CRB checked, clean driving licence and have a first aid certificate.

Many thanks.
