About Me
With a background in teaching in the Early Years and my BA Honours degree in Early Childhood Studies I have a passion to support children in reaching their full potential. Children have amazing creative minds & I believe they should be in a fun, safe & stimulating environment to learn and flourish. I incorporate the Early Years Foundation Stage into the curriculum within my home nursery setting.
There is a daily timetable which includes story time, home activities, library visits (sing along sessions), exploring in the beautiful woodland (5 min walk from my home), the park & on some rainy days a local soft play area which is free to use for the children I take along.
The area where the children will be able to enjoy within my home is all on the same level so they will have access to the lounge, large playroom, toilet, kitchen and nap area. There’s also a lovely outdoor area in my home with a newly built sandpit & lots of space for the children to enjoy activities that are on offer & explore and ride on the toy cars & bikes.
Each day I serve healthy morning & afternoon snacks.

I honestly cannot praise Lotty and the work she does enough. I feel so so lucky to have found her and I am so grateful that my son has been able to have such an incredibly positive experience. Lotty is dedicated and passionate and caring; she is knowledgable and endlessly helpful and knows exactly how to build really wonderful relationships with the children in her care. My son asks to go to her house even on the days he doesn’t need to and he is always excited to go. Knowing he has been so happy has made going back to work (which I was dreading) so much easier and has meant I’ve enjoyed it. More importantly, so has my son! I cannot say thank you enough.
Lotty has been an incredible childminder for our daughters. Her dedication and genuine care have made a significant difference in their lives. She creates a warm and nurturing environment, fostering a strong bond with the children. Lotty's commitment to their growth and development is evident through the engaging activities and educational experiences she provides. Her professionalism and excellent communication skills have been a tremendous support to our family. We highly recommend Lotty to any parent seeking a trustworthy and exceptional childminder.
Lotty has been brilliant in the time she has looked after my daughter.
I was a bit nervous as had never used a childminder before but from the first time we visited the setting, Lotty was friendly and welcoming, and I knew my daughter would enjoy it! She has had the best time in her care and absolutely loves going. She comes home happy, telling me how much fun she has had, and I look forward to the messages showing me what she's been up to that day.
We are sad to be leaving and wish I'd found her sooner! Oh, and she makes delicious biscuits too if you're lucky enough to get some! 😃
Lotty has looked after my daughter since she was 4 months old and we couldn't fault the service she provides . My daughter loves going and we always get updates of there daily adventures. Wouldn't use anyone else now.
