About Me
Hi, I’m Ash!
My wife, Claire, and I are experienced childminders based near the centre of Basingstoke. We provide a warm, welcoming, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and grow.
We primarily offer childcare from Monday to Thursday, but we also provide overnight and weekend care, as well as school and home pickups across Basingstoke. With over 20 years of experience in childcare, I hold two degrees in Early Years and have worked as a nanny, teacher, nursery manager, and Cub Scout leader. Claire has 10 years of experience in early years education and also holds a degree in Childcare and Education.
We love helping families and are always happy to answer any questions. Feel free to get in touch—we’d love to hear from you!
My Experience
I have dedicated most of my life to childcare and currently work as a childminder in Kings Furlong, Basingstoke.
Over the years, I have taken on various roles, including being a Cub Scout Leader, nursery manager, nanny, foster carer, and childminder. I have worked with children from newborns to 16 years old, supporting a range of abilities and backgrounds.
I hold two degrees in Early Years, an NVQ in Childcare, and a paediatric first aid qualification. Alongside these, I have completed extensive CPD training to keep my skills up to date.
My wife, Claire, has 10 years of experience in early years education. She has worked as a nursery assistant and room supervisor before becoming a childminder. She also holds a degree in Childcare and Education and is passionate about supporting children's development.
