Cynthina Kalu - Diamond Mercy Daycare

Hi, my name is Cynthia, an Ofsted Registered childminder, I live Watnall in Nottingham in a large semi detached house with a secured garden.  I offer a friendly warm, safe environment for your children which is home away from home.

I have over 10 years experience of working with children and young people both in schools and nurseries.

I have a playroom with a kitchen, dressing up, messy play, arts and crafts, reading corner, dollies with pushchairs.  I have a big garden for all our outdoor activities, such as water and sand tray, bikes, slide etc.

I'm a mother of three beautiful children 9,7 and 2 years.

I used to work in the nursery as an Early Eears Educator for over 5 years. I am first aid trained and have a safeguarding certificate.  I am also DBS checked and run the updated service. I have a level 3 diploma in working with child and young people.
