Ball rolling, colour matching, fine motor skills, endless fun
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

Lovely cool shade in the woods this morning, exploring and relaxing in the hammock. We brought our adventure bag with us and explored the contents. They did colour and bug hunting, identified leaves and plants, collected nature treasures, did some drawing and played

Sunny and warm morning at the allotment with Butterflies Early Years
We took time to discuss our new sensory area and think about our 5 senses. The children practiced their scissor skills by cutting some large chard leaves and helping harvest the lavender
