Maternity Cover – Childminding Assistant 🌿

I’m looking for someone lovely to join me at Stones Drive Explorers to cover Molly’s maternity leave. 💕

The position will be Monday to Thursday, for approximately 9 months from February 2027.

This would be a lovely opportunity for someone who:
🤍 Enjoys spending time with young children
🌳 Loves being outdoors and getting involved in activities
🎨 Is creative, fun and enthusiastic
💛 Is caring, patient and reliable
📚 Is considering a career working with children or is interested in becoming a childminder themselves

We care for children from babies through to preschool age, following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to support their learning, development, health and wellbeing. Our days are full of play, exploring, messy activities, reading/singing and lots of outdoor adventures.

This is initially going out to people I know and trust, as I’d ideally love to find someone through recommendation rather than advertising more widely.

If you know someone who you think would be a great fit for our little team, please feel free to message me or tag them below. I’d be really grateful for any recommendations.

More details, including hours, pay and requirements, can be discussed with anyone interested.

This week has been very emotional! We have just said goodbye to the most wonderful group of Explorers.
We have watched these 7 children blossom from babies in to the most incredible confident 4 year olds. It has been an absolute privilege to be a part of their early years and we are going to miss them so much 🥹

We just want to say a huge thank you to our parents, not only do the children become part of our family but you do too. Thank you for trusting us & allowing us to be part of such an important chapter in their lives. Thank you for our wonderful gifts 🫶🏽
We have created a book full of memories, we will cherish forever but don’t forget - once an Explorer, always an Explorer ✨❤️

There’s something so special about sitting back and simply watching children play❤️.

Today, the children created their very own Duplo town, completely led by their imaginations, ideas and curiosity. 🏠🚗🌳

No adult direction, no instructions and no “this is how you do it”; just children creating, building, problem solving and bringing their own little world to life.

After having the privilege of touring the beautiful new IPU at Overgate Hospice, I couldn’t resist bringing home a little piece of its history. This wonderful slice of wood comes from a tree that sadly had to be taken down during the development.

It has already become a much-loved addition to our setting, inspiring endless small world play and imaginative adventures. Whether it’s transformed into a woodland, a fairy garden, a dinosaur habitat or a place for woodland animals to explore, the children have embraced it with such creativity 🌳 🪵.

This walk fills me with so many emotions. In a few weeks time this most amazing group of children are moving on to new adventures 🌳.

These Explorers have been with us since babies, we have had the most wonderful adventures and it’s been an absolute privilege to watch them grow into the strong independent children they have become 💚.

Wow what a day 😍 We have had the most wonderful day celebrating our amazing Explorers who are leaving us for school 🌳.

We’ve sang, danced, acted out our very own fairy tales, rode some very funny rides, climbed, swung, slide and cartwheeled around the park.

We are going to miss this most amazing crazy bunch in September, our hearts are full and eyes a little watery from some beautiful memories made 💕.

A huge thank you also to Molly and Maddie for giving up your Saturday, I appreciate and love you both very much 💕.

We have arrived for a great Leavers Day Out 🥰❤️🥰😍
