About Me

? Welcome to Chelsea’s Childminding
Hi, I’m Chelsea, a dedicated and experienced childminder with 9 years of experience providing quality childcare in a warm, welcoming home-from-home environment.
I am an Ofsted-rated Good childminder creating a small, friendly and nurturing setting where every child can feel happy, secure and valued.
I strongly believe that children thrive outdoors and learn best through play. I prioritise outdoor adventures and opportunities for children to explore, discover and develop at their own pace. Whether we’re enjoying nature, getting messy with activities, playing in the garden or exploring the local area, there are always opportunities to learn through fun and meaningful experiences.
? Home-cooked, nutritious meals
? Lots of outdoor play and adventures

? A warm, caring home-from-home environment
?? Small, nurturing setting with individual attention
? 9 years’ childminding experience

My aim is to provide children with a safe, happy and stimulating environment where they can build confidence, develop independence and simply enjoy being children.
If you’re looking for a caring, experienced childminder where your little one can learn, play, explore and feel at home, I’d love to hear from you. ???

13 November 2024
Children thrive in a warm, stimulating atmosphere that promotes exploration and learning. The experienced childminder provides a broad, challenging curriculum with a focus on outdoor activities and language development. Strong, nurturing relationships and regular community visits support children's social and emotional growth. Parents report high satisfaction and good progress. However, more consistent information sharing with parents about children's learning and how to support it at home is an area for improvement.
