My Summary
About Me
Qualified Early Years Specialist | OFSTED Registered | Penn, Wolverhampton
Hello! I’m Emily, an OFSTED registered childminder and former Early Years teacher based in Penn, Wolverhampton. I run Curious Cubs Childminders from my family home, where I provide a warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment for children to learn, play and grow.
With over 20 years of experience in childcare and education, I create a nurturing space where children feel safe, confident, and inspired. I tailor activities to each child’s interests and developmental stage, encouraging curiosity, independence, and a love of learning through play.
What I Offer:
A cosy, homely setting with a dedicated playroom and spacious garden
A curriculum rooted in the EYFS, inspired by children’s interests
Daily feedback with photos, so you never miss a moment
A strong focus on emotional well-being, independence and curiosity
Exciting outings every single week, giving children regular opportunities to explore the world beyond our setting
You can also get a feel for our day-to-day adventures through my public Facebook page, where I share the fun, creativity, and joy.
About Me:
My childcare journey began in 2004 when I worked in a nursery setting. I qualified as a teacher in 2011 and specialised in Early Years. After having my second child in 2020, I decided to become a childminder, allowing me to combine my expertise with the joy of a home-from-home setting.
I live in Penn with my husband and our two children, Arthur and Lilly. Our home is full of laughter, discovery, and care – a true extension of your child’s family life.

My daughter is a “lockdown” baby - someone who was very shy, very cautious of people and very clingy with Mommy. Having tried a nursery setting I just knew it wasn’t right. We then got recommended Emily! From the off we knew she was the right person, since then my little one has blossomed into a confident, funny & has really grown in character!
Emily updates me throughout the day every day, she has nutritious meals and does loads of activities throughout the day. I never ever worry dropping her off. She absolutely loves going there and always has a great big smile when I drop her off which makes me feel so comfortable about being a work.

Emily has cared for my little one since she was 6months and she gets so excited when she knows she is going to see Emily. She is fantastic with the learning activities, day trips and experiences she has provided for my little one and is very supportive to me as a parent too! She provides a great variety of meals that are age appropriate and communicates throughout the day when she can with key moments in my littles ones development. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emily to any one.

My daughter LOVES going to Emily’s & I’m so happy that o know she is happy there while I’m at work. Throughout the day Emily sends me pictures of my daughter & the things she gets up to which is lovely. It makes me feel involved in her day even though I’m at work. My daughter is given healthy & nutritious meals & snacks throughout the day. I’m very happy with Emily at Curious Cubs & confident that my daughter is too.
