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 registe
