About Me

I am a Ofsted registered childminder with five years Primary teaching experience, I will be childminding alongside looking after my two children. I hold Paediatric first aid, Safeguarding training, and food hygiene and have experience working with a variety of children.

With Ellie’s Explorers, I aim to provide a home from home environment offering the children the ability to imagine, explore, create, experiment, solve and thrive. Each day is very different as I follow the children's curiosity but activities that I aim to incorporate include arts and crafts, baking, messy play, role play, water play, local trips and plenty of time in our roofed outdoor playroom, you can follow our adventure on socials media.

My Ofsted Inspections

Good

6 February 2025

Children thrive in a nurturing environment that promotes independence and self-regulation. The childminder demonstrates a secure knowledge of child development, supporting good progress across all learning areas. Physical development is particularly well-promoted through outdoor activities. While transitions between activities could be better organized, the childminder effectively encourages independence and establishes clear boundaries. Parents appreciate the caring and attentive approach, with good communication about their children's progress.
