Little Squirrels Childcare

Little Squirrels Childcare Welcome to Little Squirrels Childcare. I'm an Early Years Educator based in Hatherley, Cheltenham. I have been a childminder since May 2004.

I took the decision to become a home based child carer after having the first 2 of my children. Through becoming a parent I have developed an interest in the early years development of children and found that I enjoy being able to help children grow and learn. A few of my friends who had children asked me if I would consider looking after their children and this made me consider becoming a registered childminder. Over the years I have looked after a number of children of varying ages, and I have gone on to have my 3rd child. I am able to offer a high standard of care in a warm loving environment. I look upon my role of childminder as one of great trust and responsibility, parents place their most precious gifts in my care and I pride myself on providing a high level of care. My premises are my family home, which is a 3 bedroom semi-detached house in a quiet no-through road. There is on road parking at the rear of the house.

Allotment fun with Butterflies Early Years
We are pleasantly surprised with how some of our crops are still flourishing and we have pumpkins, beans, chilli’s, parsnips, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes and marrows still growing.
We did some scissor practice using sunflower heads and leaves. We used the cutting to decorate our sunflower pictures.
