Childminder in Bassetlaw (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I provide nurturing care in a calm and supportive home-from-home environment where babies feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Grounded in gentle parenting principles and therapeutic care, my approach focuses on emotional well-being alongside early learning and development.
With extensive experience in childcare, I prioritize building secure, trusting relationships, encouraging babies to thrive, have fun, understand their emotions, and develop confidence at their own pace. I value communication in all its forms, approaching it with empathy and curiosity to recognize the feelings and needs behind each baby’s cues.
My setting promotes baby-led play, sensory exploration, outdoor experiences, and meaningful interactions that foster curiosity, confidence, and emotional security. I offer a structured yet flexible routine tailored to each child’s individual needs.
I collaborate closely with parents and professionals to ensure consistent, inclusive, and high-quality care and am happy to provide references upon request. My goal is to create a nurturing space where babies feel emotionally safe, seen, heard,
respected and supported to thrive in a warm and engaging environment.
I invite you to visit my setting to see firsthand how we can partner in your child’s early development.
