Alisha A, Parent looking for childminder in Ilford (IG2 7PP)

Evening and weekend OFSTED Care needed Ilford

Hello, and thank you for viewing my profile.

I am looking for a reliable, caring, and Ofsted-registered childcare provider who can support my family on a part-time but regular basis. I have two wonderful children—aged 2 and 7—who will need care during evenings on two weekdays each week, as well as on alternate weekends.

Evening care (weekdays):
On two evenings each week, I would need someone to collect both children at 6:00pm. My younger child attends daycare and my older child attends after-school club—conveniently, both are located opposite one another. From there, they would need looking after until 8:00pm. This care may also include occasionally taking my 7-year-old to his scheduled activities. The specific weekdays required may vary; however, I always receive my rota one month in advance, which allows me to provide plenty of notice and work together to plan a consistent schedule.

Weekend care:
Every other weekend, I would need childcare coverage from 8:45am until 8:00pm on both Saturday and Sunday. This would involve general care, engaging the children in age-appropriate activities, and ensuring they are happy, safe, and well looked after throughout the day.

I am looking for someone who is flexible, dependable, and genuinely enjoys working with children. Being Ofsted registered is essential, as is having experience caring for both toddlers and school-aged children. A driver's license would be an added advantage but is not strictly necessary as most collections and drop-offs are local.

If this sounds like a role that fits your availability and skills, I would love to hear from you. My priority is to find someone trustworthy who can provide a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for my children while I am working.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and I look forward to connecting with the right childcare professional to support our family.
