About Me
About Me
Hello! I'm Lydia, I'm 32 years old and the proud owner of a warm, welcoming childminding setting. I live with my fiancé, Paul, and our daughter.
Paul is my registered childminding assistant and is currently completing his Ofsted registration. We work together to provide a caring, nurturing and engaging environment where children feel safe, happy and confident to learn through play.
I hold a CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education and am currently working towards my degree to further develop my knowledge and skills. My childcare journey has included working as a nanny for a family with four children, including a newborn, before opening my own childminding business, which I successfully ran for eight wonderful years. After spending some time working in a primary school, I was delighted to return to my true passion—childminding.
In July 2026, we were proud to successfully pass our latest Ofsted inspection, reflecting our commitment to providing high-quality care and education for every child.
Our setting is based in a purpose-built childminding space, carefully designed to encourage children to explore, play, learn and thrive. We provide a home-from-home environment filled with exciting activities, outdoor adventures and learning opportunities tailored to each child's individual interests and stage of development.
I hold a full UK driving licence with over 15 years of driving experience, Paediatric First Aid certification, and a range of other relevant childcare training to ensure children are cared for in a safe and supportive environment.
Building strong relationships with families is incredibly important to me, and I believe open communication and working together helps every child reach their full potential. I would love the opportunity to welcome your family and support your child's early years journey.
If you have any questions or would like to find out more about our setting, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you!

I cannot speak more highly of Lydia and the way she has looked after our little girl Lily. She has kept us regularly updated on the app and on WhatsApp, and has developed a really strong bond with her. They go on days out to soft play, farms, garden centres, messy play and much more, as well as having play time in their purpose built childcare area in their home. Their whole family has made us feel so at ease. Would highly recommend Lydia
