My Summary
Where Children Play - Learn - Grow
About Me
Hello, I’m Abbie and Little Oaks Daycare is a childcare service based at our home in Lapal, Halesowen where I live with my partner and our 1 year old daughter. We are located in a quiet cul-de-sac and there are excellent commuting links into Stourbridge or Birmingham with the A456 Manor Way, and the M5 close by. There are also excellent bus links into Halesowen, Stourbridge and Birmingham. I am an experienced and highly qualified early years professional. We have a dedicated playroom, and a wonderful outdoor learning environment which leads right into Leasowes Park. Children have access to a downstairs toilet, and nutritious homemade snacks and meals are provided daily. We take lots of influence into our practice from some great pioneers of early learning and some modern day approaches including Montessori, Pikler, Reggio, Curiosity Approach and Hygge. Essentially, we offer the children wonderful hands on experiences to be independent, investigate, be curious and true leaders in their learning. Due to our unique location, our play is largely nature based.
My Experience
For the past 17 years I have worked in Private Nurseries, where I quickly developed my skills, knowledge and passion for Early Years. I began my career as a Nursery Nurse in a Baby Room and quickly worked my way up to Nursery Manager (and everything in between). I have spent most of my professional life managing Private Nurseries for some wonderful nurseries and nursery groups, leading care and education for under 5-year-olds. I have worked for/ with some real leaders in top quality Early Years settings including Childbase, Shooting Stars Nurseries, and the founding Curiosity Approach Nurseries, The Nest Nurseries. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such wonderful settings and gain such an array of experiences.
My Qualifications
Through college and university I have gained my BTEC National Diploma in Early Years (Level 3), my Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) and my BA (hons) degree in Early Years.
I hold a current Paediatric First Aid, Child Protection and Food Safety certificate.
I continuously update my knowledge and skills through regular training courses to ensure my practice with the children is always current and to ensure I am providing them with the best possible early years opportunities.
My Availability
Little Oaks Daycare opened in June 2023 and all of our places are now full. If you would like to go on our waiting list for future places please contact me.
We provide full daycare for EYFS children (0–5-year-olds). We do not currently care for school children so that we can focus on the care and education of our littlest children without interruptions to their day with school runs.
