My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Hayley Wallace, I have been working within childcare since 1993 after qualifying at level 3 in childcare. I have 2 children or should I say 2 young adults (both girls) with one of them living at home. We have two small dogs (Bear and Teddy) My home is situated within a quiet residential area in Thrapston and within walking distance to the local amenities/facilities. My home offers a great source of natural light where the children can learn and play which opens up through bio fold doors onto a large fully enclosed garden offering all children free flow in a safe, secure, happy, fun and caring environment where they are all supported and encouraged to develop to their full potential.
On my latest OFSTED inspection (June 2022) I was rated as GOOD.

After 6 and half wonderful years, we just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you. Hayley, you have looked after Harper with so much care, love and dedication. From the early days, supporting us through the chaos of covid (while both Rosaline Adams and I worked) you have been a constant in Harper’s life, providing not just care, but comfort, laughter and stability. Now that Harper has decided she wants to go school club before and after, of which she is excited about. It doesn’t make this goodbye any easier. We are so truly grateful for everything you’ve done for our family, Hayley. You have played such an important role in Harper’s early years and we’ll always appreciate your kindness, flexibility and support. Thank you for being such a special part of Harper’s journey. ❤️

My son gets on so well with Hayley and the other children in the setting. Dropping off is like popping by a friends house and not overwhelming at all.
Hayley is fun, kind and caring and her home is lovely and relaxed. I feel very fortunate to have my son attend and I know that he is stimulated and well cared for in the setting

Since my daughter has been in Hayley’s care she has continued to grow from strength to strength Hayley helps the children to understand and learn compassion and treating other children and adults as individuals as well as going on lots of trips out and of course starting them on their learning journey to ensure they are school ready. She truly goes above and beyond for both parent and child I could not think of anyone else I would have to look after my daughter.
