I am a mother of two young children and my setting is in Houghton Conquest Village. I have a large open space set up with lots of play facilities in the garden. My teaching method is Hygge based and I specialise in children’s mental health. I provide a quality home from home experience and I include wrap around care to and from Houghton Conquest lower school.
Being part for the forest school association, we have weekly forest school where the children are very excited to be rewarded of their achievements through certificate’s.
We are often out and about on trips or local walks and we aren’t afraid of messy play/ puddle jumping.
Children will be meeting their developmental milestones through activities that encourage independence and confidence whilst having lots of fun of course!
Whilst we will need some rules for safety, my policy is strictly no harsh discipline in this setting, solely a holistic approach and good choices are always encouraged through patience and understanding. My setting will remain small for personal and individual needs of each and every child. To find out about available spaces please direct message me.

Carlie is very kind, caring and professional. Her home is beautiful and she clearly cares about the children she looks after. I’m so glad we’ve found Carlie to provide a home from home setting for our boys!
