About Me

Welcome to Little Bears in the Wood childcare!

I am a registered childminder with Ofsted
I have been registered for 10 years

We do exciting activities here that includes indoor and outdoor activities, mostly include nature play in the garden and the woods nearby and we attend weekly playgroups and attend the local Forrest’s school in the woods opposite my home.

I want the children I look after to not only feel comfortable and a part of the family but to have fun and be stimulated by the day to day activities.
I do this by working closely with the Early Years Foundation Stage framework (EYFS) I’ve recently completed a Diploma in Early years qualification. As well as that I am a mentor for other childminders and work on that as a freelance basis with the Department of Education.

My Experience

Qualified Early years level 3 practitioner
Worked as Mentor for the Department of Education as an Early Years expert and Mentor.

I have 11 years experience of professional childminding where I have looked after many different children with different needs and abilities. As well as the day to day care and nurturing of a child I observe children and see what stage they are at and work out their next steps to further develop them.

I work closely with parents for positive outcomes.

I hold a level 3 diploma in Early years and children’s workforce and DFE Early years Professional development course

My Ofsted Inspections

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
5 October 2022
A warm and inviting environment awaits children at this childminding setting, where outdoor exploration and high behavioural expectations are key features. The provision, rated good across all areas, offers woodland walks and outdoor activities to support children's knowledge of the world. While parent partnerships are effective, there is room for improvement in implementing planned activities and sharing information about children's learning and progress with families.

Danielle has been a childminder for my little boy for the last couple of years, and he absolutely loves going to her, she is friendly and caring and is amazing with children. I would highly recommend her!
