My Summary
Little Acorns Childminding
About Me
I am a passionate childminder with over five years of experience working with young children, dedicated to nurturing curious, enthusiastic little learners through a variety of engaging indoor and outdoor experiences. I love spending time with the children exploring and discovering new things—we head out most mornings to parks, National Trust walks, and nature trails, embracing every opportunity to learn from the world around us.
From planting in the garden to creative activities indoors, exploring local trails, and enjoying picnics during half terms, our days are filled with learning through play and adventure. Whether we’re visiting the beach, exploring castles, or enjoying cosy story time and crafts at home, every activity is thoughtfully planned to inspire curiosity, creativity, and joy.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework and carefully record each child’s progress in a dedicated learning journal. Families receive daily diaries and weekly photo updates, ensuring you remain part of every exciting milestone throughout your child’s journey with me.
I proudly accept all childcare vouchers and FEET funding, making my setting accessible to a wide range of families.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit, please get in touch—I’d love to welcome your child into a caring, engaging, and inspiring learning environment where they can thrive and grow.

Jane had looked after my two children for over 3 years now. Whilst she may be newly registered, she is extremely experienced and my goodness is she good!
I am a teacher myself so have quite high expectations for childcare settings. My little girl and boy have absolutely thrived there.
I would go to Jane if you want your child to be out and about, on trips, walks and activities rather than in one space all day like a nursery. At Jane’s they go out to the park, or a garden centre and sometimes even the beach every single day. She also meets up with other childminders daily so children are well-socialised with plenty of other kids.
I recommend unreservedly!

As a first time mum I was nervous to find childcare when I returned to work, however I needn’t have worried. My little boy has been around Jane since he was 9 months old and he is now 3 and he has come on leaps and bounds and a huge part of this is to do with the learning, development and social skills he has picked up at his time in this setting. Jane always takes the children out to various places which I think provides a great balance to a fun day of learning and we have great communication on tapestry detailing his daily activities, food diary as well as topics to focus on in upcoming weeks.
Jane is amazing with so much heart and caring mindset, for example, arts and crafts to bring home for occasions such as Mother’s/Father’s Day etc. It’s wonderful seeing my son get excited about going here daily, she really make an effort to engage with my son and they have a great relationship. I’m very grateful to have found Jane and will be enrolling my second child shortly!
