My Summary
Ofsted Registered Childminders
About Me
Little Learners is a place where children can learn in a nurturing, caring, happy and safe environment. Little Learners is a family oriented run setting, I work together with families to provide tailored individual learning of all the children in our care for all ages and abilities.
I work alongside my Husband Graham who is a registered childminder with Ofsted.
We have 3 children aged 28, 21 and 20 years old, I have worked for over 18 years within early years sector.
I hold a BA honors in early years, Graham has his HBCC which is level 3.
We are registered to accept children from birth, also accepting the 9 months, 2 years and 3-4 year old Early Years Funding 15/30 hours funding.
We will not accept children on a temporary basis such as if you are awaiting a space at a nursery or preschool, in my professional opinion it can often take children a while to settle so a temporary place with us would not benefit your child’s emotional development, therefore, this isn’t something we will offer.
My Experience
I have worked in childcare for over 18 years, I have been a childminder for almost 9 years and strongly believe a home from home setting provides children with confidence with separation from their family.
Graham has worked alongside me for the last 2 years, he was previously chairman at a preschool in 2013-2015.
Graham has his Paediatric first aid and Safeguarding.

My preschool age daughter has recently started with Butterflies Childcare and it is excellent. Laura and Sarah are professional, friendly, qualified, caring individuals and my daughter now loves going. The first week she did fruit picking and made some jam! Highly recommended.
