My Summary
About Me
Hi, we’re Jenna and Levi, the husband and wife team behind Hive Childcare in Linthwaite. We live here with our three children and share a passion for creating a warm, home-from-home environment where every child feels safe, loved, and inspired to learn and grow.
Our approach is rooted in nature and play-based learning. We spend plenty of time outdoors exploring, adventuring, and following a curriculum inspired by the National Trust’s “50 Things to Do Before You’re 11¾”, helping children build confidence, curiosity, and independence through real-world experiences.
Indoors, our cosy, Hygge-inspired setting offers space for creativity, reading, and imaginative play. We’re also Makaton friendly and Home Ed supportive, welcoming children of all abilities and backgrounds to thrive in their own way.
We’re registered to care for children from birth to 11 years, offering both funded and flexible places to suit your family’s needs.
If you’d like to find out more or arrange a visit, we’d love to hear from you.
My Experience
Together, we bring over 14 years of experience in childcare and family support. During this time, we’ve worked as both childminders and foster carers for the Local Authority, caring for children of all ages and with a wide range of needs.
We have extensive experience supporting children with SEN (Special Educational Needs) and are passionate about creating an inclusive, nurturing environment where every child feels valued, supported, and able to thrive.
My Qualifications
Between us, we hold a Level 3 Diploma in Childcare, Level 3 Paediatric First Aid, and Level 2 Safeguarding Training. We’re deeply committed to ongoing professional development and regularly update our knowledge and skills to ensure we provide the highest standard of care and the safest, most nurturing environment for every child.
My Availability
We’re open Monday to Friday, 7:30am – 5:30pm, offering full-day spaces as well as school holiday care.
If you’d like to check availability or find out more about our current spaces, please do get in touch - we’d love to hear from you!
