About Me

Welcome to Happy Campers Childminding!


**Spaces Available** Hello, my name is Danielle Huxley-Clowes. I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder based in Vicars Cross, Chester, where I live with my husband and our two children.

I pride myself on offering a warm, fully inclusive, "home-from-home" environment dedicated to the care and development of young minds. I closely follow the EYFS statutory framework to give every child the best possible start, and I have valuable experience supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) to ensure all children thrive in my care.

My dedicated childminding setting is based entirely on the ground floor of our home. It features a bright, welcoming living room packed with engaging resources for children of all ages and abilities, alongside a large table perfectly suited for arts, crafts, and baking. For convenience and peace of mind, we have a downstairs washroom and a fully secure back garden equipped with a playhouse and plenty of outdoor toys.

As an active Scout Leader, I love bringing the great outdoors into my childcare! I have a wealth of experience and creative ideas to keep children engaged, including fun, age-appropriate activities like den building, shelter making, and introductory bushcrafts.

My Experience

I have dedicated my entire career to caring for others, bringing 20 years of professional experience to my setting. I spent a deeply rewarding decade working in social care as a community carer—a role I absolutely loved every minute of. Following that, I transitioned into early years education, spending five brilliant years as a Childminder Assistant where I learned so much and built a strong foundation in childcare. I have now been a fully Ofsted Registered Childminder for five years. Alongside my Childminding Registration and all mandatory training, I hold a variety of specialized qualifications in Special Educational Needs (SEN) and behavior management. This allows me to provide the highest standard of safe, tailored, and fully inclusive care for every child.

My Qualifications

I am incredibly passionate about providing the highest standard of care, which is why I am dedicated to continuous professional development. I have successfully completed my full Childminding Registration Course and hold an up-to-date Paediatric First Aid certificate to ensure your child's safety is always my top priority. To further support the children in my care, I have completed comprehensive, specialized training in Safeguarding, Managing Challenging Behaviour, and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). I am always looking to expand my knowledge and regularly undertake new courses to keep my skills fresh and ensure I am offering the best possible early years experience.

A recent inspection highlights the positive aspects and areas for improvement in this childcare setting. Children enjoy exceptionally positive relationships with staff, settling in quickly and happily. Daily outings to parks and nature areas promote physical development and exploration. Excellent support is provided for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. While healthy home-cooked meals are offered, there's room for improvement in educating children about the benefits of healthy eating. Professional development is encouraged to enhance sequenced learning intentions.
