Little Roots Big Me Childminding
About Me
Hello, my name is Claire , OFSTED REGISTERED CHILDMINDER (Little roots, Big me childminding) I am passionate about creating a warm, safe, and nurturing home-from-home environment where children feel happy, secure, and valued.
My goal is to support each child’s individual development through play-based learning, outdoor exploration, creative activities, and structured routines. I believe children thrive when they feel confident and supported, and I aim to build strong partnerships with parents to ensure consistency between home and my setting.
I have DBS checks in progress for myself, husband and my grown up children. I hold a paediatric first aid qualification , and I have safeguarding and EYFS knowledge. As a parent to 4 grown up children and my previous experience in childcare (over 25 years!) it has given me valuable hands-on experience in understanding children’s needs, routines, and development stages.I hold a SENCO qualification and have a breadth of experience working with children who have additional needs.
I offer a variety of engaging activities including sensory play, reading, messy play, communication and language activities, local outings, and garden play to encourage curiosity and learning.
I have an assistant working alongside me, Sarah.
