Notes

Hello! I'm Nadine, an OFSTED registered childminder with over 20 years of experience working with children in various capacities, including as a foster carer and contact supervisor. My love for nurturing young minds led me to create Dreamy Tales Ltd., where we offer high-quality, affordable childcare in a safe and secure setting. Our goal is to provide your child(ren) with a strong foundation for growth and success. We believe in making learning fun and engaging through our caring and supportive approach. We would love for you to come and explore our wonderful space!

I truly believe that children flourish when parents and staff work hand in hand to provide outstanding care and educational experiences. We see parents as vital partners in this journey, building a relationship based on trust and understanding. It’s important for us, as caregivers, to support children in a way that is both open and sensitive.
