Abi
Childminder in Hull (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
Nature’s Nest
About Me
My name is Abi and I live in Kingswood, Hull with my husband and our primary school aged daughter.
I established Kingswood Nature’s Nest to bring together my professional experience in children and family services with my strong commitment to high-quality, relationship-led early years care.
As both a professional and a parent, I understand the level of trust involved when placing your child in someone else’s care. Building strong, respectful, and open relationships with families is at the heart of my practice. I believe children thrive when parents and carers work together with honesty, warmth, and shared understanding.
Our home provides a diverse and culturally inclusive environment. We value and celebrate mixed heritage, different cultures, family backgrounds, and traditions. Diversity is positively reflected through our resources, everyday conversations, celebrations, and learning experiences, fostering respect, kindness, and inclusion from an early age.
We also have a gentle, cuddly family dog who is fully vaccinated and accustomed to being around children. Children’s safety and comfort are always prioritised, and interactions are carefully supervised.
Both my husband and I hold enhanced DBS checks, offering families reassurance about the safety and suitability of our home environment.
My Experience
I have a professional background in leading and managing services that support babies, children, young people, and families, including early years provision. This has given me a strong foundation in safeguarding, child development, and understanding the needs of both children and their families.
I have experience supporting children at different stages of development, including those with additional needs (SEND), and working in partnership with families and professionals to ensure the right support is in place.
This experience shapes the way I run Nature’s Nest Kingswood, where I combine high standards, strong organisation, and a child-centred approach with a warm, nurturing environment.
I offer more than home-based childcare, with regular outings, community experiences, and opportunities for children to learn, explore, and build confidence.
I understand the trust families place in childcare, and I am committed to creating a safe, welcoming space where every child feels secure, valued, and happy.
