My Summary
Little Pickles Childminding
About Me
I have just started my journey as a Ofsted registered childminder, working alongside my mum who has been a childminder for 27 years and counting (ever since I was a baby!)
Operating: Monday-Thursday 7:30am-6pm
*can be flexible upon requests!
I offer all year round childcare- excluding public holidays. Children are required to do a minimum of 6 hours a day and a minimum of two days a week!
Little Pickles childminding is situated in the lovely village of North Bradley! Our setting is set up in a wonderful fully self-contained log cabin, which free flows onto our large, enclosed spacious garden. Both environments contain a wide variety of appropriate play equipment, which supports all ages and stages of development for the children in our setting. We strive to make our settling feel as if the children are at home- we regularly adapt the environment to support the children’s current interests and needs. In our log cabin we offer a wide range of equipment and activities to stimulate and educate through all seven areas of development. We encourage the children to be age appropriately independent wherever possible, because we believe it blossoms the children into confident individuals.
Spending time learning, developing, and exploring in our outdoor environment and going on outing’s is an important part of our daily routines.
Some examples of regular outings we do: trips to longleat, nature walks, visits to local parks, soft-plays, rhyme times, toddler groups and much more!

My Experience
I have a little boy who has just turned one, and i have come back to what I love best after recently finishing my maternity leave.
I studied childcare at my local college, and attained lots of hours of experience at local nurseries and schools- gaining experience of all age ranges. I then worked at a nursery in Bradford on Avon since the age of 18, and worked there for six years and progressed to a team leader role. I also babysat occasionally on evenings and weekends.
