Little Stars Childminding Service.

We are energetic and reliable childcare practitioners who have a passion for childcare. We believe in a home environment where children can feel comfortable and enjoy taking them on many trips. We are flexible and can accommodate the needs of children and parents. We also believe diversity should be approached with open arms and accept all faiths and races in my setting which the children learn about on a daily basis. 

I have been a childminder since 2006 and live with my husband who is also my assistant and two adult children. We have a small dog as a pet which can help children's emotional development and responsibilities. I work with a full time assistant. We offer all the benefits of a nursery in a safe home environment with the added benefit of lots of outings such as trips to farms, theatres, museums, forest school foragers, zumbini (dance and signing) and stay and plays. I live in a friendly area close to shops, libraries, schools, nurseries, bus, tube and overground stations. We offer healthy home-made meals. Water and snacks are provided all day.
