Childminder in Southampton (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Summer Holiday spaces available for children in preschool, year R and year 1.
Hello, I'm Caiti, an Ofsted Registered Childminder based in Sholing, Southampton, and the owner of Little Sprouts Childcare.
I have always had a passion for working with children and love watching little ones grow, learn, and develop into confident individuals. My aim is to provide a warm, nurturing, and enriching home-from-home environment where children feel safe, valued, and supported as they reach their full potential.
I believe that children learn best through play and hands-on experiences, so I provide a wide range of engaging activities tailored to their interests and developmental needs. I also enjoy getting out and about with the children, whether that's attending local groups, visiting parks and libraries, exploring the local community, or simply enjoying a walk outdoors.
My home is fully child-friendly and offers a dedicated downstairs playroom with direct access to a secure garden, allowing children plenty of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor play. The playroom is well-equipped with a variety of age-appropriate toys, books, and arts and crafts resources to support learning, creativity, and imagination.
I am also mum to a very sociable little boy who loves welcoming new children into the setting and making new friends.
I currently offer a range of funded childcare options, including:
• 9-month-old funding for eligible working parents
• 2-year-old funding
• Tax-Free Childcare
• Universal Credit childcare payments
• Student Finance childcare support
I am happy to accommodate both full-time and term-time-only placements.
If you would like to find out more about Little Sprouts Childcare or arrange a visit, please feel free to get in touch. I would love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have.
