My Summary
About Me
My name is Lyndsey, I am an experienced childminder, also known as Lyndsey’s Little Learners, with over 14 years of experience, based in Ashington Village, West Sussex. I provide a warm, nurturing, and fun home-from-home environment where children can grow, explore, and prepare for school with confidence. I’m proud to consistently be rated GOOD in every aspect by Ofsted, with my last inspection in July 2024 highlighting the strong bonds I build with children.
I have three boys of my own the youngest being 13 who absolutely loves the fun and energy that comes with me being a childminder I come from a large family, so I’ve always loved caring for children of all ages. I have experience with babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers, junior, and senior school-aged children, and I’m confident supporting each child’s individual needs.

I honestly can’t recommend Lyndsey enough. My little girl has been going to Lynsey’s for the last year and a half since she was 8 months old and she absolutely loves spending time with Lyndsey and her family. Lyndsey has played a massive part in my daughters development and they are always doing fun activities inside and outside the home. Lyndsey has a wonderful relationship with my daughter and treats her like one of her own. Lyndsey is always flexible in meeting our needs and it’s so nice to know my daughter is so settled with Lyndsey which takes the worry away from me whilst I have to work. Amazing childminder and would throughly recommend!

I cannot recommend Lyndsey enough! My daughter loved every minute spent with Lyndsey and her family. Lyndsey looked after my daughter from age 1 till age 3 (and we only left due to moving out of area) Lyndsey provided fantastic activities throughout the day and developed a brilliant, caring relationship with my daughter that helped my daughter develop in her confidence. The setting is truly home from home and Lyndsey was so helpful and flexible in meeting our needs. Fantastic childminder!!
