My Summary
About Me
Hi! I'm Colleen the co-founder of Little Reignbeaux, a small, nurturing home-from-home setting led by two Ofsted-registered childminders, with a strong background in education and a genuine passion for supporting young children.
Located in Castle Hill, Ebbsfleet, we are surrounded by nature, beautiful views and the Platinum Jubilee Lake, giving children plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
We provide a calm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, valued and confident to learn through play. Because we keep our setting small, we can really get to know each child and tailor experiences around their individual interests, needs and development.
Our aim is to create a warm, happy environment where children can build secure relationships, develop their independence and simply enjoy being little.
My Experience
I am a qualified primary school teacher with 14 years of experience working with children across a range of ages and stages of development.
Throughout my teaching career, I have developed a strong understanding of how children learn, develop and build confidence. I am passionate about creating environments where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to become confident, independent learners.
I am also a mum to a 5-year-old, so I understand from both a professional and personal perspective how important it is to find childcare where your child feels happy, secure and genuinely cared for. I know how much trust parents place in their childcare provider, and I want every family at Little Reignbeaux to feel confident that their child is in safe, caring and experienced hands.

I have avoided writing this review becuase I simply cannot find the words to express how amazing Colleen & Renee really are. I searched for months to find the right setting, environment and care for my 18 month old and can honestly say they exceed my expectations daily! I am always kept informed and receive photos and videos of his many adventures. I honestly couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you both so much for looking after my boy like your own, Phoenix absolutely adores you.
