About Me
Hello and welcome! My name is Hardeep Kaur and I am based in Pokeno. I’m a mum of two beautiful children a curious 2-year-old boy and a sweet 8-month-old baby girl. I offer loving, home-based childcare where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to grow.
As a parent myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care. That’s why I’ve created a nurturing environment that’s warm, calm, and filled with learning, laughter, and love.
Whether you’re returning to work or simply need someone reliable and caring, I treat every child as if they were my own with patience, kindness, and respect.
I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, which allows me to connect with children and families from diverse backgrounds. I offer a bilingual and culturally rich environment where little ones can learn multiple languages naturally through everyday conversation, songs, and stories.
In addition to childcare, I love cooking healthy meals and staying active through exercise. These passions flow into our daily routine offering fresh meals and lots of movement-based play to keep little minds and bodies happy and healthy.
I integrate English, Hindi, and Punjabi into everyday conversation, making language learning natural and fun. We also celebrate cultural festivals, sing multilingual songs, and enjoy traditional stories. This helps children build a sense of identity, diversity, and respect.
Finding the right childcare is a big decision, and I’d love the chance to show you what makes my care special. You’re welcome to visit, meet my family, and ask any questions. Please feel free to get in touch to book a visit or chat further.
Why families choose my care;
· A true home away from home for your child
· Small group = personal attention and bonding
· Language-rich and multicultural environment
· Lots of active fun
· Loving, experienced mum who cares like family
Whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time, or casual care, I would love to meet you and your child to see if we’re a good fit. Your child’s safety is my highest priority. I am:
· Police-verified and reference-checked
· Trained in First Aid and CPR
· Experienced with newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers
· Clean, organized, and attentive to every child’s needs
Our Time Together
I believe in learning through play, where children develop naturally by exploring the world around them. I offer a mix of activities that support growth in areas like:
· Social skills – learning to share, express emotions, and make friends
· Language development – through songs, stories, and conversation
· Creativity – arts, crafts, pretend play, and music
· Cognitive skills – puzzles, sorting, counting, and building
· Physical development – dancing, outdoor games, and sensory play
Children learn best in a calm, respectful space where they feel valued and that’s exactly what I aim to provide every day.
I value physical activity and a healthy lifestyle, so we stay active every day through dancing, running, jumping, stretching, and outdoor fun. Movement keeps children happy, builds coordination, and promotes wellbeing.
