Supporting First Steps, First Friendships And First Adventures
About Me
Hi, I’m Abbi, a caring and dedicated childminder based in Alderholt. I provide a safe, calm, and engaging environment where children feel secure, confident, and happy in their daily routine.
I am particularly focused on supporting younger children in their early development, helping them build confidence, independence, and key skills through play and structured activities. I follow the EYFS curriculum, ensuring all learning is age-appropriate, engaging, and tailored to each child.
I offer a fully converted garage space used solely for childminding, designed to be a safe, organised, and stimulating environment just for children.
My Experience
I am a fully qualified childcare professional with a strong background in both early years and healthcare.
I hold:
• Level 3 and Level 4 childcare qualifications
• Paediatric First Aid (up to date)
• Safeguarding training (up to date)
• Food Hygiene Level 3
My experience spans a wide range of ages and needs. I have worked with babies, toddlers, and young children, including those with additional needs such as autism, as well as supporting adults with learning disabilities.
I currently care for children aged 3 months to 3 years, giving me strong, up-to-date experience in early development, routines, and individual care.
Before starting Biscuits Childcare, I worked for three years in an Accident and Emergency department as an Emergency Healthcare Assistant.
This has given me:
• The ability to stay calm and act quickly in emergencies
• Strong medical awareness
• A high level of focus on safety and wellbeing

I've been so happy with Harriett being at Biscuits Childcare. Going back to work when she was only 3 months old was a huge worry for me, but Abbie made the whole transition so much easier. Harriett settled in really quickly, and it's such a nice feeling knowing she's happy, safe and being so well looked after.
I love getting the little updates and photos during the day, and it's lovely to see all the different activities she gets to do. You can tell how much thought and care Abbie puts into everything, and how much she genuinely cares about the children.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abbie and Biscuits Childcare to anyone looking for a kind, caring and reliable childminder. Thank you for everything you do for Harriet, it really does mean a lot.
