About Me
Welcome to Little Butterflies!
Hi, I’m Amy, a dedicated childcare professional with over a decade of experience working with children of all ages and needs. I’m qualified in early years education (Level 3) and have extensive training in SEN, Autism, Speech & Language, Seizures, Makaton, and first aid.
At Little Butterflies, we embrace a child-led learning approach, allowing children to explore, create, and develop at their own pace. Our setting is filled with authentic and natural resources, encouraging curiosity, independence, and meaningful play. My garden cabin offers a safe, engaging space with free-flow access between indoor and outdoor play, fostering imagination and a love for learning.
Little Butterflies is all about transformation, joy, and exploration—values I want every child in my care to experience. I can’t wait to support your little one’s development in a way that suits their unique needs.

Amy looked after our son for a few months and she is brilliant. She has boundless energy, always chipper and takes the kids out loads. Ideal for our boy who loves to run around. Amy is very experienced and we saw a huge difference in our son’s personality after spending time with Amy.
