My Summary
About Me
Welcome to Abbies Bespoke Childcare (ABC)! I am a 29 year old Ofsted registered childminder with 10 years of experience working within the early years sector. I am a mother to my three year old daughter, living in Wivenhoe, which neighbours areas such as Colchester, Elmstead Market and Alresford. Wivenhoe is located near to the University of Essex, which means I can also offer childcare to students/lecturers with children. I cover pick up and drop off to Broomgrove Infants only.
I am lucky enough to be in a great location, with a park, outdoor gym, fields and woodland on my doorstep. All of which your little ones will love to explore!
I am passionate about children, and work closely with both parent and child to create an educational and stimulating environment.
Babydays is a well known and trusted forum where I can record and track your child’s development and milestones. It is user friendly, and can be accessed online or via the app. Allowing a line of communication between myself and the parent to view their child’s day to day activities. Meaning you shall be there with them every step of the way on their early years journey.
I hold a clean UK Driving Licence and have my own car. Making school runs and day trips out a breeze. For added peace of mind, all car seats have been safety tested and use isofix for extra security.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further questions or queries. Thank you, Abbie

Abbie has looked after 2 of my children in the past, and I can not recommend her enough. Abbie is passionate about the children in her care, is trustworthy, caring and professional. Abbie works closely with each child to make sure they reach their developmental milestones. Providing a safe and stimulating environment, with an atmosphere of home comforts. Abbie is first aid trained which is an added relief to any parent. Abbie provided home made nutritious meals which were always a hit with my boys. Abbie is a mum herself, so knows exactly how hard it can be to leave your child in someone’s care. But Abbie went out of her way to ensure that whilst I was at work, I received updates of my children throughout the day, using a system called Babydays. Which allowed a platform for myself and Abbie to communicate whilst the children were in her care. It was also a great way to track my children’s progress. Abbie also taught my two boys simple makaton signing, such as please, thank you, milk and more. This proves so useful when my youngest was still developing his vocabulary. There was a vast choice of toys, allowing my children to learn through play. Such as fine motor skills, sensory development and social skills with role play. Abbie was also really flexible with her hours. Which is a bonus, if my hours changed at work etc. Thank you Abbie for helping me and my boys!!! I can not recommend Abbie enough! Mrs S McNaughton
