Pamela
Childminder in Caterham
My Summary
About Me
Hello, I’m Pamela — a warm, nature-loving childminder and mum of two in Caterham. My setting is calm, child-led and encourages outdoor learning. Each day includes woodland walks, nature play, caring for plants and animals, and hands-on exploration that sparks curiosity and confidence.
Inside is cosy and nurturing; outside is full of adventure. I follow children’s interests closely, creating gentle, meaningful experiences that help them learn through real world discovery.
If you’re looking for childcare that blends nature, adventure and curiosity in a warm, family home, I’d love to welcome your little one.
My Experience
I worked as an Early Years teacher for 11 years, supporting children across Nursery, Reception and transitions into Key Stage 1. During this time I developed strong knowledge of child development, the EYFS, behaviour support, phonics, early literacy and creating engaging, child-led learning environments.
Across my teaching career, I supported children with a wide range of needs, learning styles and personalities. I planned and delivered EYFS aligned learning, supported speech and language development, encouraged independence, and created calm, curiosity-rich spaces where children could explore confidently. I also worked closely with families, SEN teams and other professionals to ensure every child felt understood, supported and celebrated.
Childminding gives me the freedom to take children out on daily adventures and use nature, movement and real experiences to support their learning and development. I am able to offer the same high quality early years practice I used in the classroom, but in a smaller, calmer, more personalised environment where each child’s interests truly lead the way.
