My Summary
About Me
My name is Ashleigh, mum of 3, to Mason 11, Leo , 5 and Lana 3, partner to Raymond and cat mum to Shadow and Gem. I'm a childminder registered with Ofsted, with an light and airy setting, where children can explore and learn with a wide range of resources and loose parts.
Becoming a mum has been my greatest achievement and has really been my whole focus the last decade. Ive really dedicated making sure im raising kind, independent and all round good humans to be part of the next generation. Thats where most of my experience lies. Whilst i have recently taken on courses in Forest school teaching along with Montessori and loose parts practices I really believe my first hand experiences make me a suited person to help other children grow, explore and develop into great little humans. I have all the relevant training in childminding and safeguarding, paediatric first aid, development and great knowledge of the EYFS framework and an enhanced DBS, all certificates can be seen on request.
My Experience
11 years as a mum is great first-hand experience. I have learned from my time as a mum and I would say with the experience I have, I'm confidently a better mum than ever. I enjoy watching children develop so rapidly and really come out of their shell. I spent my early 20s as a play coordinator at mothercare, and have just thrived from being around children, whether they are family, friends or in the general community. I have passed all the relevant training to become a childminder.

I’m so incredibly grateful to have found Ashleigh and Ray. My little girl started with them when she was just 7 months old, and as a slightly neurotic new mum, I really struggled with going back to work. Ashleigh made that transition so much easier for both of us.
My daughter (now 15 months) has had so many of her “firsts” at Ashleigh’s, sitting up, crawling, standing, and now walking! All such huge milestones. Ashleigh also helped guide us through the switch from formula to solids. I’ve turned to her so many times for advice and reassurance, and it’s been amazing having someone so caring and supportive to lean on.
My daughter gets to enjoy so many lovely activities, walks in the park, picnics, feeding the ducks, soft play groups, and plenty of time in Ashleigh and Ray’s beautiful garden. It’s the perfect mix for indoor and outdoor fun.
It’s also been really lovely having Ray as part of the setting, it’s so nice for the children to have a positive male presence around, and you can see how much they all adore him.
Ashleigh and Ray’s family have honestly become an extension of ours 💛✨
