About Me

My name is Emma Howells. I live in Tongwynlais with my husband, James and my two children, Finley (5) and Millie (2). I am a member of PACEY and have been recently registered with the CIW. Em's Little Explorers will open in August 2025.
I am leaving a long career in teaching this year to take an exciting new direction into childminding. Over time, I have specialised in how children learn through play and would like to take this to the next level through childminding. I feel confident to create an outstanding setting around the children I work with, following their lead through play and learning lots as we go along, hitting milestones together.

My Experience

I have two young children of my own. I have also worked as a Primary School Teacher for 18 years. More than half of this time has been spent specialising in the Early Years, but I also have vast experience of working with older children too.
The valuable skills I have gained through my career enable me to plan effective, authentic, real-life experiences and activities for the children in my care. I am able to observe the way children play and then mould their experiences around the way they individually learn
and develop, ensuring that each child makes the best progress they can each day, whilst at the same time feeling well cared for and nurtured.

My Qualifications

* City & Guilds Level 3 Children's Care, Play, Learning and Development: Practice
* Paediatric First Aid
* Group C Safeguarding
* Food Hygiene

* Numerous training relevant training courses undertaken throughout my teaching career covering aspects such as children with Additional Learning Needs, Behaviour Management, Learning through Play using the Froebelian approach. Please contact for more details of courses covered if you would like more information on this.
