About Me

I don’t currently have spaces…ideally placed for Cromer, Sheringham, Holt. I’m open 8.30 till 5.00 Mon-Fri. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Welcome to Little Acorns, Gresham, UK. My name is Helen, and I am an Ofsted registered child minder.

Little Acorns is a childminding setting based in the lovely English countryside where the emphasis is on playing and learning outdoors.

Children are really nurtured here, and encouraged to enjoy and appreciate nature in a safe and enabling environment. We have a huge garden to explore, surrounded by woodland and lots of safe walks.

Our garden is full of wildlife, we easily find insects, spiders, beetles, bugs, frogs, birds, to name just a few. We regularly spot birds of prey circling over head, and we have many visitors to our garden in the form of pheasants, chickens and on a few occasions, deer.

A short walk away is a nice park where we can take a picnic and let off some steam. This walk takes us past three very friendly ducks who have made their home near a little stream.

Nearby towns of Sheringham and Holt provide wonderful play and friend-making opportunities with their various toddler groups. Sheringham Park offers lots of fun activities such as pond dipping, and of course plenty of opportunities to expel some energy.

Aside from all the wonderful opportunities to learn and understand about nature, we also have a selection of outdoor toys. Cold wet days are also well catered for inside with plenty of toys, crafts, books, Brio, building blocks, dolls, teddies etc.

Settling in sessions are available at the usual rate per hour to ensure a smooth transition on day one. I close for 5 or 6 weeks for family holidays and this is usual taken as one week at Easter, one week during Oct half term, two weeks during the summer holidays and then I am closed for the Christmas break, usually following the same closure as the local primary school.

I accept funding and I am signed up to the childcare tax account.
