Childminder in Basingstoke And Deane (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Ofsted-registered childminder in Stag Hill Basingstoke
My Experience
I’m a mum of two girls with 13 years of experience in childcare within the Early Years Foundation Stage, including 10 years in China
I have experience leading a play-based learning environment, drawing on both the International Baccalaureate and Montessori approaches to support children’s development.
I believe children thrive when they are given rich learning opportunities, as they are naturally curious and eager to explore. I am passionate about creating an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and respects different cultural backgrounds.

Prudence cared for my daughter for 3 days a week from when she was 9 months old. She was extremely tentative always adapting her care for her latest stage and interests.
She gave the children a stable routine, gave them many activities on a daily basis, sang and danced with them, and focused on outdoor play.
She was great at keeping us up to date with what the day entailed, what/how much my daughter ate and nappies etc.
Prudence is also great at helping us work through the changes we made to our daughters routine during her care and assisted us (eg. Dropping bottles, removing dummies, all the way to potty training). I also applaud Prudence for always remaining gentle, peaceful and patient with our daughter (and the other children) during toddler strops and all the difficult behaviours young children can show.
My daughter wakes up daily and asks if she’s going to Prudences today, she absolutely loves it there and Prudence has cared for her as if she is one of her own.
I would send any other children I have to be cared by Prudence in a heartbeat 💗

Thank you Katie ! This really means a lot , dropped a tear reading this and I absolutely love the bond I shared with her. I’m glad she enjoyed her time with me and I know she’ll be a star wherever she goes as she keeps growing!!
Prudence is just one of a kind. You really don’t meet many people so dedicated to their job. My daughter has absolutely loved it there from the age of five months, all the way until she turned two. Prudence has this unique ability to treat children with so much kindness and respect and they respond to her beautifully.
Every day she organises different activities and makes an effort to give the kids opportunity to spend As much time outside as she can.
I highly recommend.

awww, thank you so much Marta ♥️
Prudence at Little Eden has been a godsend for our family. From her endless energy to her thoughtful outings, she's made every day an adventure for our 2-year-old son.
Her care goes above and beyond—we'll never forget the time she delivered our son home during the chaos of welcoming our second baby.
Little Eden is a paradise for kids, with a spotless setting and a garden our son adores exploring.
Prudence keeps us in the loop with daily updates and adorable photos, giving us peace of mind while we're apart.
But what truly sets Prudence apart is her dedication to our son's growth. Through practical skills and child-led play, she's helped shape him into a confident little explorer.
We can't recommend Prudence and Little Eden enough—they've become like family to us.
