My Summary
About Me
My name is Gabrielle and I'm delighted to be launching Moorlands Sprouts Childminding in Cheddleton from September 2026, providing a warm, nurturing home from home environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn.
Caring for and teaching young children is my passion, and I feel privileged to support them during these important early years. My setting is based in my family home, offering a cosy, welcoming atmosphere with an open plan space for play and learning, dedicated sleep areas as well as a lovely garden for outdoor exploration.
I love being outside in all weathers and plan to regularly explore the wonderful Staffordshire Moorlands, including local woods, parks, and natural spaces as part of our outdoor learning. I believe these experiences help children develop confidence, curiosity, resilience, and a connection with the world around them.
Reading and music are also at the heart of our home. As a family of book lovers, I can't wait to share stories, trips to libraries, songs and rhymes with the children, helping to foster a lifelong love of language and learning.
Through close partnerships with families and by taking inspiration from each child's interests, I plan to weave their curiosities into everyday experiences and activities, supporting learning across all areas of the EYFS while helping every child feel valued and excited about their own learning journey.
My Ofsted Registration visit is July 1st and I will be offering free settling in sessions in August.
Funded places will be available over both term time and the stretched option.
Please feel free to contact, if you have any questions or talk about your childcare needs.
My Experience
I have worked in education for the past five years, supporting and teaching children across a range of early years and school settings. During this time, I have gained valuable experience working in Nursery and Reception classes, delivering learning opportunities based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and supporting children at every stage of their early development.
My experience includes working in a day nursery with babies and toddlers, as well as teaching preschool aged children. These roles have given me a strong understanding of child development and the importance of providing nurturing, engaging experiences that support each child's individual needs, interests, and next steps in learning.
As part of my degree, I explored the important role that play has in learning and development throughout our lives. Research shows that children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful experiences, and this understanding continues to shape my approach to supporting children's learning every day.
Alongside my early years experience, I have also worked as an outdoor activities instructor, teaching forest school, climbing, hiking, and survival skills to primary and secondary school aged children. This role strengthened my passion for outdoor learning and helped me develop the skills to create exciting, safe, and memorable experiences in nature.
