My Summary
30 Hours Funded Hours Available From September 2025. Ofsted Registered Childminder.
About Me
30-Hour Funded Places Available from September 2025, I’m a fully qualified, Ofsted-registered childminder with a Good rating in my most recent Ofsted inspection and over a decade of experience providing high-quality, nurturing childcare since 2014.
I offer care from a beautiful log cabin in my garden, purpose-built and fully equipped for early years learning. This dedicated space creates a clear, safe, and engaging environment where children can explore, play, and learn without the distractions of a busy home.
A Child-Led, Play-Based Approach ;My childcare philosophy centres on giving children the freedom to explore, play, and take ownership of their learning. I provide a rich variety of engaging, play-based activities that balance child-led curiosity with adult-guided experiences.
Passionate About Outdoor Learning; I have a large secure garden, fully equipped with age-appropriate outdoor toys and learning equipment to encourage active, hands-on play.
Outdoor exploration is a big part of our day! We regularly enjoy woodland walks, visits to local play groups and I actively take part in forest school events to further enhance the children’s experiences and my own skills.
As a mother of three (ages 18, 16, and 4), I understand first-hand the importance of providing a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for children to grow and flourish.
What I Offer:
Purpose-built log cabin childcare setting
Clean, healthy, smoke-free home environment
No pets – ideal for allergy-sensitive children
Insured vehicle for safe outings

My Experience
With over 10 years of experience as an Ofsted-registered childminder, I’ve had the privilege of supporting many children through their most important early years. Since starting in 2014, I’ve created a setting where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. My approach has developed through years of hands-on practice, ongoing training, and reflective learning. I’ve worked with children from a wide range of backgrounds and developmental stages, supporting early milestones, preparing children for school, and helping them grow into confident, curious learners.

My little girl has been with Ellen for three years now and I can’t recommend her enough! My daughter has so much fun there and even though she’s now started school she still asks about Ellen and was excited to spend half term there. I’ve even had my daughter stay there overnight without a single worry, because I know how capable and caring Ellen is. She’s an absolutely fabulous person and anyone who chooses her to look after their children will tell you the same.
