About Me

Hi I am Liz, Little Explorers Childminding in Dorking. I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I have a 5 year old son and a 3 year old daughter. I am qualified in level 3 Childcare and Development. I decided to complete a Home Based Childcare qualification and am very lucky to work from a lovely house which has a spacious, secure garden and is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within short walking distance of Dorking town centre, the park and woodland. We have a small friendly dog called Gus who has been around children all his life and a cat called Zoomer who spends most his days away from home exploring.
My aim is to provide a home from home environment where children feel safe and secure, are free to explore their interests, and have their developmental needs met with love and care. I enjoy planning different activities for children, cooking, arts & crafts, trips and lots of playing.
I love to get the children outside everyday, whatever the weather and this includes visiting play groups, playgrounds, national trust parks and exploring the woodlands a short walk from the house.
I will provide all snacks and Lunch for your child and I also have a BTEC Level 2 qualification in Home Cooking.
I have up to date First Aid Certificates and DBS checks.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
18 September 2023
A nurturing home-from-home environment forms the foundation of this childcare setting. Children develop close relationships with the childminder, enjoying cuddles and comfort. The curriculum builds on individual children's knowledge and needs, supporting good progress. While communication development is emphasized, there is room for improvement in fostering critical thinking skills. Strong partnerships with parents and regular community outings enhance the children's experience.
