My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted Registered child-minder with over 20 years experience of caring/looking after children of all ages.
I offer a warm, loving environment within a lovely childcare setting which has an enclosed garden off Rolleston road.
I have two boys who currently attend Outwoods and Deferrers school and 2 older step children who have now left home to further their careers through University courses
My Experience
I have been looking after children ever since I was 16 running children's clubs for a period of at least 10 years.
I have experience of dealing with children who have special needs and thrive on making a difference for them.
I help out on school trips and when they do activities that require additional resource.
I look forward to each day and plan plenty of indoor and outdoor activities from making decorations and biscuits to going to the park or local farms.
I believe children learn and develop so much through play and interacting with other children and positive role models which is why I have carefully selected staff and up to 9 children within the early years category.
My Qualifications
I am degree qualified and have completed many childcare courses around the Early Years Framework.

The care and provision at Little Einsteins is outstanding. My son has attended this setting for two and a half years and it has been the best decision I could have made in his early development. He is more than ready to start school, equipped with all of the necessary skills for his first year thanks to the fantastic support from the staff. He is welcomed every morning in the warmest possible way and the staff are always available to chat. I can leave him knowing that he is going to have a fun filled day with people who care for him as well as I could. Provision and resources are excellent, appropriate differentiation is made for the different ages at the setting. It is a lovely small group who often meet with other groups so that the children experience larger groups of children. The food is nutritious and defined by my son as 'yummy'. Communication through an online journal is fantastic and I can easily see what h has been up to and what is on the menu for that week.
I cannot thank Little Einsteins for the positive part they have played in my son's early learning and development and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Julie and her team have looked after my son from 9 months till school age and my daughter from around 1 and she's about to start school. The care that my children have received here is incredible. Julie and the girls have a real passion for child care and you can tell in everything they do. They do so much with the children! Outings, play, seasonal parties, learn, get them as school ready as possible, with all the loving care of a home environment. They also get home cooked food, personally my kids ate more at Julie's than they'd ever try at home! Choosing to send my children here was the best choice for their early years. I knew the setting was safe and secure, that my children had great food options, their play and learning would be combined and I got updates all the time. Cannot recommend little Einstein's enough!!

My only regret about sending my son to Little Einsteins was that I didn’t do it sooner!
The activities that are planned, the environment and all of the care she puts into each child’s development is of the highest possible quality.
She helped my son to become much more confident as well as helping him with his counting and other skills.
It was such a huge weight off my shoulders knowing that whilst I was at work my son was having fun crafting, on a trip out or role playing with his friends and having the best time!
The food she cooked everyday for him was always enjoyed and he even started to ask for the food when at home!
I can’t thank little Einsteins enough for all that they have done for my son - he is now fully ready for his next chapter at school!
I would definitely recommend a visit - once you do you won’t want your child to go anywhere else!

My little boy attended Little Einsteins aged 9 months - 4 years and if my little boy had the choice he wouldn't of left! He misses Julie and the children terribly which is a testament to what a fabulous childminder Julie is. I knew from the moment I met Julie that she was the right childminder for Toby and she wasn't phased by his dietary or medical needs. Little Einsteins provided him with a loving and safe environment in which he was able thrive. I honestly have nothing but praise, Julie goes above and beyond for all the children providing regular educational outings, daily diary, fab healthy home cooked food and there own educational folder all from a loving home. I would not hesitate in recommending Little Einsteins.

Little Einsteins provides childcare for our 3 year old. Aleks attends Julie's 4 times a week. With each day we have a complete confidence in Julie's abilities and feel that Aleks is well cared for. The best testament is our son who after shortly walking in undresses, gives us kisses goodbye and comfortably follows Julie or one of her girls and never looks back.
Julie also provides a daily highlight for each child, now electronically, which is a very good idea as bits of paper tend to disappear very quickly.
Daily activities are varied and we feel that Aleks enjoys every single one of them.
We also believe that Julie shows a good balance of being loving and caring but also being strict when needed as our son can be a naughty boy. Aleks enjoys Julie's home cooking as he has seconds most days :). I would love to have a chance to observe Alek's day at Julie's (Julie, maybe a next step after electronic daily highlight could be a live CCTV video feed ? :)). I cannot recommend Little Einsteins highly enough and I am glad that my manager recommended Julie to us.

My son has been with Julie since he was 6 months old. Any concerns I had about leaving him so early were soon alleviated when I saw how happy and relaxed he was with Julie.
All activities are relevant, appropriate and fun as well as extending my son in his skills and development. We receive lots of feedback - both verbal and written - which provides us with a great picture of Jem's day and experiences.
The food is fantastic and we feel that Jem is very comfortable in the friendly home environment that Julie creates.
I am able to go to work with the knowledge that Jem is safe, cared for and enjoying a variety of activities and experiences.
I cannot recommend Julie highly enough.

Little Einsteins provided childcare for my three year old son and I was extremely please with the level of care provided. This provider offers a warm and friendly environment filled with opportunities for learning and development. The daytime activities are diverse and varied and my son grew in confidence as a result. Improvements were made to his speech and literacy. Records and observations regarding my sons development were informative, professional and activities were pro-actively designed to suit the learning needs of each child.
The meals provided were also of a very high standard, nearly always containing five different vegetables. My sons eating habits have improved greatly and I no longer have to "hide" vegetables in his meals. He enjoys eating a wide range of vegetables now.
I was very sad to have to leave this childcare provider and only did so due to moving from the area. I really cannot recommend this childcare provider highly enough.
Childcare at a professional standard in a homely environment!

My daughter has be going to Little Einsteins for approximately 8 months and I couldn't ask for anymore. Julie has created a very professional, welcoming, warm and loving environment for the children. It is important to me that my daughter is happy and safe, and is a comfort knowing that when I go to work she is exactly that is Julie's care! Julie provides a large variety of lovely, healthy home cooked meals which always go down well!
Monthly observations/targets are provided each month with information and photographs of my daughter carrying out lots of different activities, socialising, learning new skills and especially having fun!
Julie is very accommodating and I would highly recommend her to anybody looking for high quality childcare!

Julie has looked after my toddler for last six months and she had been brilliant with her. She is very professional and really gets to know your child. I would highly recommend her.

Our son has been going to Julie for about 9 months now and he absolutely loves going! Julie is extremely welcoming and friendly and the warm, cosy environment of her home helped our son to settle quickly.
Julie does a lot of different activities with the children, from taking them to the park and playgroup, to playing in the garden and painting.
Harvey has learnt lots of new things from being with Julie just 2 days a week. The personalised activity plans each month are a nice touch as it is lovely to know what your child has learnt and what they will be learning.
I have already recommended Julie to 2 friends who have sent their children to her and I would recommend her to anyone else looking for fantastic childcare :-)
