My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm Andrew, I'm 35 and living in Welwyn Garden City, close to Stanborough Lakes. I am a fully qualified, experienced Teacher with a passion for the Early Years. At Big Harte home nursery I provide a safe space for your child that will spark their curiosity, value playfulness and aim to inspire creativity.
What you can expect from Big Harte home nursery:
• As a qualified Early Years teacher I will tailor the care and education to your child; plan to meet the next steps in their personal learning journey and also to tailor to their interests to inspire and motivate them.
• The play and learning resources are eco-friendly and any plastics are recycled or reused. The resources are carefully selected to get the best provision whilst also safeguarding our planet for the future of the ones I care for.
• A big garden to investigate in all weathers; planting and digging, making mud pies and exploring sand and water.
• Keeping children safe and healthy is my top priority so the home nursery and our resources are cleaned regularly.
• Free breakfast is provided so you can be assured that your child will always start the day with nutrition and energy to explore and learn.
• A healthy lunch and dinner are also provided for afternoon and evening care. These can be tailored to your child's dietary requirements; including nut-free, gluten-free and vegan options.
• Daily trips and experiences will be taking place including visits to Stanborough Lakes, Sherrardspark Wood, the library and other local events.
• Children have access to a calm and relaxing area of the nursery where they can engage in sensory and grounding activities.
• Free hot drink for parents and carers to help you fuel your day. Bring a travel mug if you need to grab and go or feel free to explore the nursery and the exciting activities we have out for the day.

We are so lucky to have found Andrew. Our twins have been in his care for almost 4 months now. We had several settling in sessions that really helped my 1 year olds adapt to their new surroundings.
I love that Andrew has been an early years teacher and has bought that into his structured curriculum and learning through play. The children are always learning. Through song and messy play.
The children are with Andrew all day and he prepares 3 meals and snacks daily. they eat a great variety of food. the menu is brilliant!
Everyday I receive updates on daily activities, nappy updates, what they have eaten and when they have napped. we keep to a similar timings to help the children maintain routine
Andrew gave me a parents evening not so long ago. We went through development he's noticed and goals set to improve upon areas. The children benefit from outdoor play and learning about nature.
I couldn't recommend him enough. The children clap when I say we're on our way to see him - and they are the biggest critics of all!
