My Summary
About Me
Little Explorers Childminding - Thirsk
Ofsted registered, level 3 qualified childminder with 12 years of childcare experience and 5 years as a childminder.
I am a Forest School level 3 Leader and fully insured. I incorporate the Forest School ethos into our outings and play. We access lots of local attractions, our woodland and allotment on a weekly basis which provide rich, stimulating environments with an emphasis on child led play and learning.
I have a gentle and nurturing approach towards development, a child led setting with a wide range of natural resources, loose parts and high quality art supplies.
If you have any questions or would like to inquire regarding a space then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Latest reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Rosie H. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
You will NEVER find a setting you're more comfortable sending your baby/child. Rosie has the patience of a saint and cares about everything you care about. My son has absolutely thrived since we swapped to this setting and I can see why. Rosie is consistently calm, fair and clear with them.
Every single day they go on an outing and he comes home delighted to tell me what they've done. He spends more time outside than any other child I know. They go to such a range of places from Thorpe Perrow, her own private forest school, endless parks, farms, museums and (another firm favourite) Lego club.
Rosie genuinely cares for all the children she looks after as if they are her own. She has bought numerous extended rearfacing car seats to keep all the children safe while travelling and plans every day to make sure all the children attending that day will enjoy the activity.
My son raves about "that healthy vegetable thing" he has for lunch and eats healthier than he does at home.
Every day we get photos, messages and videos as well as little titbit stories about what has happened that day.
We will never be able to repay Rosie for everything she's done for our son (and for us!!) And hope to stay in touch when he goes to school in September.
