Experience

Hey, I'm Toni, a mum to four boys and have been a Home Based Educator educator for more than 11 years.

Home Environment

I offer a loving nurturing home away from home where children become part of the family. I create a warm and welcoming environment where each child is cherished and supported. My goal is to foster a sense of belonging and community, encouraging children to grow and thrive in a setting that respects their individuality. My focus is on building strong, positive relationships and providing engaging activities that inspire curiosity and learning. Whether it’s through creative play, outdoor adventures, or quiet moments of reflection, we are committed to nurturing each child’s unique potential and ensuring they feel valued and loved.
As part of our regular day, we do messy play, science, maths, baking, creative arts and share a story time together.

Community Involvement

We head out to music groups, the library for storytime, park adventures, playgroups, nature walks and exploration.

Childcare Philosophy

My philosophy is a child has the right to learn in a safe and warm consistent environment that caters for their needs. As a mum I want to offer what I would want for children, a safe loving place away from home.
