Muddy Wellies

About Me

Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Laura, and I’m the founder of Muddy Wellies Boutique Childminding Service. I hold CACHE Level 1 and 2 qualifications in Early Years and am currently completing my Level 3 in Childminding, which I expect to finish within the next two months. Once that’s complete, I’ll be registering with CIW, and then I’ll be ready to welcome little ones into my care!
Hopefully should be around September/October!
I’ve worked in a variety of childcare settings over the years, including nurseries, crèches, primary and high schools. Most recently, I had the pleasure of visiting many local primary schools to run music workshops and gospel choirs. However, after welcoming my beautiful daughter Sylvie into the world in January, I felt inspired to start my own childminding journey.
In the evenings, I also work as a singing and musical theatre tutor – so music and creativity are very much a part of what I love to share!
Muddy Wellies will be a small, nature-inspired setting where children are treated as part of the family. I truly believe in the benefits of outdoor learning, so we’ll be spending as much time in nature as possible – going on walks, exploring, and enjoying lots of fresh air.
I’ll be taking on only a small number of children to ensure each child gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. I’m currently taking names of interest , please feel free to leave your contact details along with your child’s name, age, and a little bit about them.
We are a boutique, nature-inspired childminding service nestled in the heart of Torfaen. Just a short walk from the enchanting American Gardens, Pontypool Park, and peaceful ponds, we embrace the beauty of the outdoors as a foundation for learning and play.
At Muddy Welly’s, we believe in the magic of mud, imagination, and mindful moments. With a small group setting, each child receives the care, attention, and space they need to thrive. Our days are filled with fresh air, exploration, and meaningful connections—growing curious minds and happy hearts, one muddy step at a time.
