My Requirements

We live on a small farm with a large garden and small orchard, and we would love to support someone passionate about outdoor learning and nature-based early years care to create a calm, nurturing childminding environment here.

Our daughter will need childcare, and we are hoping to find a childminder who would like to use our home as their registered setting and build their own self-employed childcare business, welcoming additional families alongside ours.

What we can offer
• Use of a warm family home as childcare premises
• Spacious garden, orchard with a polytunnel ideal for outdoor play and forest-school style activities
• A long-term, supportive arrangement
• Flexibility to shape your own setting and ethos

Who this may suit
• An Ofsted-registered childminder seeking a new setting
• An experienced early years practitioner looking to become a childminder
• A forest school leader or outdoor educator wanting to develop a nature-focused childcare business

You would operate independently, managing your own registration, policies and day-to-day childcare provision.

We value gentle, child-led learning, time outdoors, and creating a calm environment for young children to grow and explore.

If this sounds interesting, we would love to hear from you for an informal chat.
