Hello I’m Roberta(Berta), I’m an Ofsted registered childminder and mother of two girls who lives in Eastbourne. I started my Childminding journey in 2013 in Forest Hill, London, after I had my first daughter. Over these years I worked with many families from different backgrounds and cultures. Each child is unique. I take my profession seriously and therefore I’m always learning and acquiring more knowledge. It’s magical to see the child discovering their body and how things work whilst developing and learning through play.
We go out everyday and we have a routine that I developed to be in contact with nature but we also enjoy going to playgroups, public library and soft plays during the rainy or cold season. We enjoy visiting beaches, local parks, woodlands, music groups, playgroups, public library, art gallery, farms, Drusillas and much more. I’m a qualified kids yoga instructor; we practice yoga and meditation at home during Autumn and winter, during Spring and Summer we like to be out and about. We love, art, music, storytelling and gardening too. We enjoy all kind of music and rhythms, we like to make silly sounds and the children enjoy when I play ukelele to them during lunch time. We often have fun dancing, playing games and moving our bodies. We also love storytelling and have story time daily, we also like to make up stories.
During school half term and summer holidays we become little explorers looking for exciting and stimulating places to visit around Eastbourne and the surrounding towns.
I offer a diverse and multicultural environment. I’m Brazilian, I’m fluent in Portuguese and English. I’m friendly and very active. I enjoy sailing, paddle boarding, boxing, football, playing drums and ukelele, painting, arts and crafts and house decorating.
I want the parents to feel confident that their children will be cared for and nurtured. The children can enjoy the comforts and security of my family home and also have fun days out full of great adventures.
My childcare setting may be a childcare provision, but it feels just like home.
I can offer 15 or 30 hours free childcare entitlement for over 9 months old to 5years old, when entitled by the government.
