About Me

Welcome to Happy Hands!

Hi, I'm Lana, and I run Happy Hands, a childminding setting registered through a childminding agency which is regulated by Ofsted.

I live in the Packmoor area with my partner and our two children. As a family, we love spending time outdoors on nature walks and getting creative through arts and crafts. I became a childminder because I am passionate about play-based learning and providing a nurturing environment where little minds can flourish.

At Happy Hands, I provide a warm, safe, and welcoming home-from-home environment where children feel happy, secure, and valued. I believe the early years are the foundation for lifelong learning, so I strive to create exciting opportunities for every child to learn, grow, and develop at their own pace.

Our child-led setting encourages curiosity, independence, and confidence through play both indoors and outdoors. We also have a lovely, fully enclosed outdoor space where little ones can explore, discover, and enjoy the benefits of outdoor learning.

If you'd like to find out more about Happy Hands Home Nursery or discuss your childcare needs, please feel free to send me a message. I'd love to hear from you!
