My Summary
About Me
Welcome to Pippa’s Childminding!
We are a home based family run childcare setting within Rudheath, Northwich.
The outdoors is where most of our play and learning takes place. We have free flow access to our cabin in the garden which is well equipped with toys and learning resources for children aged 0-5 years.
Our home is Ofsted inspected and provides a safe environment for your child/ren to play and develop.
We spend time visiting local parks, woods, farms, playgroups and enjoy nature walks. We are also Chester Zoo members so where possible we like to visit.

My daughter has been going to Pippa’s for over 18 months. Pippa and (Auntie) Ann have a warm caring manner with all the children in their care. Pippa always greets the children in the morning with a smile. Communication between parents and Pippa is fantastic, not only does she keep a daily diary for each child( which goes home daily) but is happy to answer any questions I have about her day. Pippa and Ann are always calm and patient with the children and have clear expectations and this is clear as all the children are happy and well behaved and know what’s expected of them. I also like all the wonderful activities the children do from Art/DT, music time, gardening, baking, outdoor play and a huge variety of toys which are changed daily! Also they take the children to a playgroup 2 times a week and day trips out.
Pippa has always provided wonderful healthy snacks and lunches.
My daughter loves Pippa and Ann( who she call Nanny) and can’t wait to tell me about her day. I love the fact I can see what she has been doing by logging into the online learning journey and seeing all the photos and observations ( EYFS).She has made so much progress and I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend her services to everyone I know.

After going back to work full time I decided on a nursery for my Son. However this wasn't for him and he never settled. I turned to Philippa who was excellent from day 1. Both her and Auntie Ann are fabulous with the children. They do so much with the children including days out, crafting, baking, playgroups and all things inbetween. As a result of there excellent care my son has gone on to thrive in school! I cannot recommend or thank them enough for everything they did for him over the 2+ years he was with them. He had should a fun time and I never had to worry about anything as I knew he was in such good hands

After my little boy trying a previous nursery and not settling in, we started at Philippa’s and from day one he loved it! It is a real home from home for the children and Philippa and auntie Ann are so lovely and caring.
Every week my little boy looks forward to going and playing with his friends, They do many activities with the children; playgroup, the park, baking, playing in the garden, crafts, walks at Marbury park etc...
The lunch and snack choices that Philippa provides are also varied and healthy :)
I would definitely recommend Philippa and auntie Ann they are a great team!

Philippa is a wonderful childminder and my son absolutely adores her.
She is very flexible and always willing to help out and go the extra mile.
He's been on so many days out with Philippa - chester zoo, Cheshire show, play barns, farms to name a few which is always nice.
I get so many compliments on how polite and well behaved my son is and a lot of that credit goes to Philippa.
