My Summary

Childminding That Feels Like Home, With The Space And A Nursery. Ofsted Registered. Funded Spaces

My Experience

Between us, we have over 13 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages — from tiny newborns to lively school-aged explorers.

We’ve worked in nurseries, preschools, school settings, and private homes, gaining a deep understanding of what children need to feel secure, happy, and free to learn. Our own parenting journey has only strengthened this — giving us firsthand insight into the emotional side of childcare from both a professional and parental perspective.

We are especially experienced in:
• Supporting babies and toddlers with strong routines and nurturing care
• Working with children with SEND and additional needs, including autism, allergies, and communication differences
• Encouraging independence and self-regulation through child-led routines
• Providing wraparound and school holiday care that is fun, flexible, and developmentally meaningful
• Offering enriching experiences for home-educated children, blending social learning with real-world skills

What makes our experience unique is how we’ve chosen to apply it. At Little Warrens Den, we’ve designed a setting that doesn’t just look good on paper — it feels good in your child’s heart. Every decision, every routine, and every space is shaped by what we’ve learned truly works: warmth, connection, consistency, and freedom to explore.

Our biggest strength? We genuinely love what we do. And children feel that the moment they walk through the door.

My Qualifications

At Little Warrens Den, every child is supported by qualified, experienced adults who are deeply committed to continuous learning.

You can trust that your child is in safe, capable hands — with warmth and professionalism at the heart of everything we do.

? Our core team qualifications include:
• Level 3 Early Years Educator or equivalent
• BSc (Hons) in Child and Family Health and Wellbeing
• Enhanced DBS checks
• Full Paediatric First Aid certification
• Safeguarding and Child Protection training
• SEN Awareness and Inclusion training
• Food Hygiene Level 2

But we believe true quality goes beyond certificates.

We stay up to date with the latest research in early childhood education, child psychology, and inclusive practice. We regularly complete CPD (Continuing Professional Development) in areas like trauma-informed care, outdoor learning, neurodiversity, and communication-rich environments.

We also reflect daily on our practice as a team — asking what’s working, what could grow, and how we can better meet each child’s unique needs.

We’re not just qualified — we’re passionate about why we do what we do.
