About Me

***I have 1 vacancy for 10 months+ on Wednesdays. Start date - September 2025***

**No current vacancies for after-school**

My name is Caroline, and I run Caroline Stevens Childminding and I live on Cartmell Road in Woodseats.

I have 22 years of childcare experience and live with my husband Tim and have 2 children. My son, aged 24, lives with us and a 26 year old daughter.

I offer a warm, welcoming family home where children are encouraged to learn through play and educational experiences. We enjoy many indoor and outdoor experiences including regular visits to Graves Park, Longshaw, Sheffield Manor Lodge, etc where we have fun splashing in the streams, climbing the rocks, learning about the environment and wildlife around us. If it's sunny, we love to picnic. We visit the local library and enjoy borrowing books to explore when we get home, as well as taking part in the toddler sessions.

Indoors, we enjoy baking, painting, building with blocks, model making, playdoh, reading, completing jigsaws, and much more. I have a fantastic collection of toys suitable for all ages, ranging from soft baby toys, Vtech educational toys, a wooden kitchen with pots and pans for imaginative play, dolls house, dressing up clothes, train set, wooden castle, jigsaws and a huge collection of books.

I have a secure back garden with lots of outdoor toys, a giant pirate ship, a Mud Kitchen, slide, a cosy coupe car, tents, etc. All water-based activities are strictly supervised at all times.

For children under 5, I complete daily diaries so you are able to see what your child has done on a daily basis, what they have eaten, and any important milestones they have achieved.

I collect from Abbey Lane School on Monday to Thursday.

We have a small dog called Luna.

I drive a Volvo that is fully insured for work and has suitable car seats for all ages.

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
7 November 2019
Emotional development and independence are prioritized in this good-rated childcare environment. Children enjoy diverse outdoor experiences, including daily woodland visits and trips to local attractions. The setting promotes exploration and independence through age-appropriate organization. Mathematical learning is incorporated into various activities, such as shape identification and building with blocks. While emotional security is well-supported, the childminder could improve by allowing children more time to answer questions and solve problems independently.
