About Me

Hello!

My name is Steph and I run Little Bears Childminding from my home in Aldermaston where I live with my beautiful 9 year old daughter.

I offer a warm, fun & friendly home from home setting where the children learn and develop through play.

My Experience

**Ofsted Inspection taken place in July 2023 - graded GOOD**

Spaces available from July 2026.

Little Bears Childminding is run from my home in Aldermaston. I have been a childminder since November 2015 and have experience with looking after children from Newborn to primary school age.

I generally operate my setting between 7.30am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday, but I will consider extending this to accommodate slightly earlier and/or slightly later times by agreement.

I do not offer a service at weekends or public holidays and I am not registered for overnight care.

I can often offer some flexibility to parents who work irregular shift patterns and/or who only want ad hoc care, but this is dependent upon availability of spaces within the numbers allowed by my Registration.

I accept government funding.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss any aspect of my service and to see if I have any spaces available that meet your needs.

Good
25 July 2023
A nurturing environment with an ambitious curriculum forms the foundation of this childcare setting. Children benefit from strong bonds with the childminder and a focus on language, communication, and early mathematics skills. Cultural awareness is promoted through various activities. While physical development is encouraged, better use of the outdoor space for exploration could enhance learning. The childminder could also focus on improving children's independence in self-care skills.

Steph provides a wonderful, warm and welcoming environment. My son always run me in happy and comes out happy, telling me all about his day with Steph and his friends. A real home from home environment with a relaxed approach to play and learning through play
