About Me
We love the outdoors and spend lots of time adventuring in nature! You'll often find us visiting parks, farms, woods and nature reserves - searching for bugs, exploring the world around us and getting wonderfully muddy in all weathers.
We enjoy being part of our local community with regular trips to the library and playgroups. We also join other local childminders for shared activities, giving the children a chance to make even more friends.
Our homely playroom and garden offer plenty of opportunities for open-ended play, creativity, imagination and learning through exploration. We love snuggling up to share stories, singing together and having a good dance.
We take time to notice what children are interested in and build on these ideas through meaningful experiences. We find a natural balance between gently guiding each child's learning and following their own child-led direction. This allows every child to learn at their own pace, in a way that feels meaningful and joyful to them.
Working with parents is really important to us. We share daily updates and photos and celebrate achievements together, keeping families included throughout their child's journey.
Our goal is to help nurture kind, happy and curious little learners who become increasingly independent, confident and able to flourish in their own unique way.
We also off holiday and wraparound childcare for Telford Infant School and Telford Junior School.

My son is in year 6 and has been with Vicky since starting school in reception. This setting has been a “home from home” for our son. We are so grateful we found Vicky and her family.
She is incredibly reliable and her communication is excellent but mostly her love, care, interest and thoughtfulness is what sets her apart. I have a 100% confidence in recommending Vicky.
It will be an incredibly sad goodbye when we leave the Kinghams next year after all these years.

I cannot recommend our childminder highly enough. She was absolutely amazing with our daughter, Sofia. Every day was a new adventure — from fun trips out to creative activities at home — and Sofia always came back smiling and full of stories. The level of care and attention she gave was incredible; she treated Sofia as if she were her own.
It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Sofia was safe, happy, and truly cared for. Her kindness, patience, and enthusiasm made such a positive impact on Sofia, and we’re so grateful for everything she did for us. Anyone would be lucky to have her look after their little one!

We can’t recommend Vicky highly enough, she gave our son the best start in childcare we could have asked for.
We loved Vicky’s child centered approach and she was conscious to follow our sons’ routine which helped him settle well.
Vicky updated us daily with photos, videos and info about their day which kept us in the picture and made us feel at ease.
Our son loved going to Vicky’s and playing with the other children. His development and social skills benefited hugely. We miss her!

I knew as soon as I met Vicky that she would be the perfect childminder! My daughter adored going to Vicky's house. Vicky was brilliantly flexible and managed to fit my daughter in during the height of the pandemic. We have so many photos to remember all the adventures they went on and the exciting places they visited while with Vicky. I couldn't fault Vicky's care and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and fun childminder!

Vicky is an absolute angel. We were so lucky that both our children were able to benefit from being in the loving, fun and stimulating environment that she provides the children in her care. The experiences she provides are wonderful, age appropriate and the children have so much fun. She really gets to know the children and offers a home from home, communication is excellent and the photos she takes and sends to parents during the day are a fantastic insight into what they're all getting up to and as a parent it's great to see how happy the little ones are. I cannot recommend Vicky enough and only wish my little ones could stay with her forever!
