Childminder in Cheltenham
My Summary
About Me
CHILDCARE AVAILABILITY from SEPT 2026 -Monday, Wednesday and Thursday
Hello! I am Naomi, an Ofsted registered Childminder and a mother of 3. I bring a fun-loving approach to taking care of little ones. With love in my heart, and a passion to inspire, your child will go through their early years with the tools they need to harness their curiosity and build upon their confidence and self esteem, in my loving home-from-home environment.
Im married to Andy and our children are Edie (19), Sonny (14) and Etta (12). We live in a Victorian semi detached house with a wonderful large garden, ideal for little adventures. I have brought my own children up with the ethos of learning through play and exploration, and continue to do so with your children; whilst incorporating the Early Years Foundation Stage which ensures children are reaching their full potential through their developmental milestones .
I have a great selection of resources for children of all ages. We keep busy with a varied range of the wonderful things Cheltenham has to offer; parks; farms; toddler groups, forest school. Play is a mix of child-led and adult-led activities. Foundational for me is building strong, secure relationships with children and their families to encourage a happy and thriving childhood.

From day one, Naomi has been an incredible childcare provider to have found and blessed to help us raise our daughter.
As first time parents in an overwhelming world of pressures, we were continuously asking ourselves ‘What’s the right choice?’ when facing the difficult decision to return to work when our daughter was only 11 months old. Nay’s warm, friendly and loving personality drew us in instantly, providing all the reassurance we needed (Especially when I had a little wobble!).
Not only did Nays’ patience and caring nature help to support us as parents through the guilt and separation of leaving our child with someone other than ourselves, she always made the effort to make both us and our daughter feel welcome and even at the beginning she never felt like a stranger.
Our daughter has not only grown in her development and confidence, but has absolutely flourished in Nay Nay’s care. From a combination of a varied itinerary of day trips to various play groups, music groups, forest school, library and park visits (even strawberry picking!) - combined with fun and educational activities in Naomi’s own beautiful family home – there was never a dull day!
We were always delighted to see the day’s activities, shared through regular updates and photos from Nays of our daughter and her little friends, whom I hope our daughter will share a bond for a long time to come.
For the past 2 ½ years, Nays and her wonderful family have truly been an extention of our own for our daughter, and we will forever be grateful for finding her and for all she has done for us.
If you are lucky enough, Nay Nay’s magic is not to be missed! Thank you for everything!

Our son has been in Naomi's care for nearly 2 years. Nay helped him settled in quickly with her warm and calm approach. Naomi also put lots of effort in children's development through games, role plays, visiting groups, parks and other places.
Nay has been flexible and accommodating when we had changes in work schedules. She also regularly sends updates and photos. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend Naomi!

We were given Naomi's details when we were recommended her through friends whose child was currently under her care in 2020. We had just moved out of London in the pandemic and I was overwhelmed with a 7 month old first baby, a new area with long waiting lists for nursery's and huge costs for childcare. From the very first call with Naomi, in which she introduced herself and her incredible children, I knew that she was who I wanted to care for my son. Since that time our twin daughters have also been looked after by her from the age of 11 months through to 3 years old, and despite twins being a handful at the best of times, Naomi was not phased at all by the challenge. She was happy to do milk feeds, support nap times, and care for my girls as individuals - which was hugely important to us as parents.
Naomi provides a calm, fun, loving home for children, with activities throughout the week covered by attending small local playgroups and local parks. She provides thorough feedback on children's development daily, and through yearly reports. And if I ever had any concerns about my children's development she was always keen to discuss further to consider how to support this area.
My children have grown to adore Naomi and her family, and even though they have now all moved onto school settings they will talk about their time with Naynay so fondly, and often request to go and visit her. As a busy, working mom who felt guilty returning to work so early in my children's life, Naomi created a home from home, and truly cared for my children in a way I could've only hoped for. I feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled across Naomi at a time when things were so uncertain; and her kindness, patience and loving nature has meant that my children have thrived in their early years.
