About Me
About Us
Hi, we’re Jodie and Megan.
Between us, we bring 15 years of experience working in nurseries, progressing from nursery apprenticeships to management roles, alongside being mums raising children with additional needs, which has given us a real understanding of SEN and the importance of inclusive, patient care.
We now run our childminding setting together, offering a warm, home-from-home environment where children feel safe, secure, and valued. Our focus is on outdoor learning, child-led play, and supporting each child’s unique development at their own pace.
We are passionate about creating a calm, nurturing space where all children can thrive emotionally, socially, and educationally.

Jodie has been looking after my daughter for a while now, I cannot praise her setting enough, it’s beautiful fully equipped and the children have everything on hand.
Jodie and Megan regularly keep me updated with what my child has been doing alongside sending pictures which as an anxious mumma has been a god send.
I cannot praise them enough, nothing is too much trouble even with my fussy eater of a child. They go above and beyond and would highly recommended them.

Fantastic level of care provided to both of my children, one of them being Sen, my children both felt comfortable instantly.
Lots of activities available that are tailored to the children specifically.

Used for holiday club and the occasional babysitting. Staff were amazing and super tuned into what my kid needed in terms of emotional support. Great array of activities were on offer daily.
