My Summary
Little Rae's Childcare
About Me
Hello! I'm Louise, the owner of Little Rae's Childcare and a proud mum to two wonderful girls aged 4 and 8.
Being a mum has strengthened my passion for working with children and inspired me to create a warm, welcoming home-from-home environment where every child feels safe, valued and encouraged to thrive. I believe children learn best through play, kindness and meaningful relationships, and I love supporting them as they grow in confidence and independence.
My Experience
I have over 18 years of experience working with children from birth to 11 years old.
My childcare journey began in a nursery, where I progressed to Senior Room Leader in both the baby and preschool rooms over nine years. I then worked as a nanny, caring for three children under the age of two, before spending three years working within a local primary school.
These varied roles have given me a wealth of experience supporting children at different stages of their development. As an Ofsted registered childminder, I now provide a safe, nurturing home-from-home environment where children can learn through play, build confidence, and flourish at their own pace.
My Qualifications
I am qualified in level 2 and 3 Childcare and Education and passed my level 2 with the grade A*. I then went on to do my Childminding Level 3 course. I am first aid trained, food hygiene and safeguarding.
