My Summary
About Me
We have a warm, welcoming and fun-filled childcare setting in the heart of Camberley, ideally located close to local schools, parks and community facilities.
We provide high-quality childcare for children from 6 months through to after-school age, including Early Years Government funded childcare for eligible children up to the age of 4.
With over 20 years of childcare experience — including roles as a Preschool Manager, After School Club Manager and Childminder — I am passionate about creating a safe, stimulating and happy environment where children can grow in confidence, develop independence and thrive through play, exploration and meaningful relationships.
As a mother of three myself, I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are safe, happy and genuinely cared for. Our setting has a strong family atmosphere where every child is valued as an individual and encouraged to learn at their own pace.
We offer a balance of adult-led activities and child-initiated play experiences, carefully planned around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Children enjoy a wide variety of engaging activities including:
* Arts and crafts
* Cooking and baking
* Messy play and sensory activities
* Outdoor adventures and physical play
* Small group activities and social interaction
* Imaginative role play and creative performance
Our setting is especially designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and confidence. Children have access to an abundance of age-appropriate toys, learning resources and exciting play opportunities both indoors and outdoors.
Our large, secure garden provides endless opportunities for exploration and physical development, featuring:
* A wooden climbing frame
* Balance equipment
* Sand table and outdoor play area
* Ride-on toys and outdoor games
* Space to run, explore and enjoy nature
Inside, children love our imaginative play areas and theatre stage, which encourage creativity, storytelling, confidence and expressive arts.
We closely monitor and celebrate every child’s development using Tapestry, our secure online learning journal. Parents receive regular updates, observations and photos, allowing them to share in their child’s learning journey and milestones.
We are committed to providing a safe, caring and inclusive environment for all children. Both my husband and I hold Enhanced DBS checks, and our home is a non-smoking environment.
I hold an NVQ Level 3 in Childcare and have also completed CHIP training.
For added convenience and peace of mind, we provide:
* Nutritious home-cooked meals and snacks
* Nappies and toiletries where required
* Support for children with allergies and dietary requirements
Above all, our aim is simple: to create a happy, exciting and nurturing environment where children feel secure, loved and inspired to learn every single day.
Please feel free to get in touch to arrange a visit — we would love to welcome you and your child to our setting.

We cannot recommend Little Wellies highly enough. They cared for our son from just 8 months old right through until he started school and have also continued supporting us with school pick-ups and drop-offs.
From day one, they created a real home-from-home environment where he felt safe, happy and loved. The continuity of care and family-friendly approach made such a positive difference to both him and us as parents.
What stands out most is the incredible bond they built with our son and our family. His confidence, happiness and positive attitude are a reflection of the amazing care, encouragement and support he received.
Little Wellies also made learning fun and engaging, helping him develop educationally through creative activities, play and encouragement every day. It was wonderful to see how much he learned while always enjoying himself.
We are so grateful for everything they have done over the years and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for caring, reliable and truly exceptional childcare.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our son has received at Little Wellies Childcare. Sharon and Tom have looked after him for over a year, and they have been absolutely amazing from day one.
They are such kind, caring, and welcoming people who genuinely treat the children like part of their family. Every week they thoughtfully plan fun and educational activities, so the children are always learning while having a wonderful time. We love receiving daily and weekly photo updates, which give us insight into everything our son has been doing.
The food they provide is always delicious, and it’s clear how much effort and care goes into every aspect of the childcare they offer.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves going there. He is always happy, excited, and comfortable in their care, which means everything to us as parents.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sharon and Tom, and we truly cannot recommend Little Wellies Childcare highly enough to anyone looking for a warm, safe, loving, and engaging environment for their child.

I am so pleased to have found Sharon and Tom and Little Wellies Childcare after previously having a difficult experience at a local nursery. They have not only looked after our son over the past 18 months, they have also become a huge part of our lives. Our son has thrived under their care, we have seen amazing progression in his speech, his physical and emotional development and his understanding. They provide all his meals which he loves - I never thought he would ever eat vegetables but now he loves them! He always runs up to the front door at drop off and never wants to leave. Sharon communicates all of his progress via Tapestry and WhatsApp so I'm always up to date with everything each week. I am so pleased we found Little Wellies and can't praise Sharon and Tom enough.
