Little Nippers Childcare

Little Nippers Childcare Little Nippers is a childminding service based in Thorpe le Soken. We are a friendly and outdoor loving family.

Hello, I’m Hannah and I live in Thorpe-le-Soken with my husband Ross and two children Oliver, 5 and Rose, 2. During the past few years, I have been at home full time with my children, focusing on their early years development. My background is in Early Years Teaching and before having my son Oliver I was an outstanding Early Years practitioner at an Infant School in Colchester. I am passionate abo

ut children learning through play, everyday experiences and the natural world around them. Our home provides a safe, stimulating environment where children can enjoy growing into confident, independent and sociable young people. The children will have experiences that will allow them to develop at a pace suited to their individual needs and interest. I provide healthy snacks and we get outside every day, rain or shine! Our home is located near a variety of wonderful natural spaces, including a woodland area, playpark and we are only 10 minutes away from the various beaches which we often visit. I believe we all thrive from being outdoors and learning from the natural world around us. The garden has a variety of resources and areas to play in. There is natural grass for practising our sports, a mud kitchen for cooking up a variety of treats, an allotment area for growing fruit and vegetables and a climbing frame. I offer drop off and pick up from Rolph Primary School and wrap around care for school aged children. I offer term time only placements for children 6months and over. I have a CACHE Level 3 Award in Preparing to work in Home Based Childcare, Qualified Teacher Status. I hold a Full Paediatric First Aid Certificate and have completed Safeguarding Training.

🐣 With Easter fast approaching, it’s that time of year again when I’m taking donations of mini eggs, mini smartie eggs, cadburys mini eggs, any chocolate that is small enough to block a child’s airway…

I cannot stress enough that this is purely to keep the children safe!

Just happy to do my bit 😁

(But on a serious note, if you have to buy mini eggs please cut them in half. The sugar coating on them means that if they get stuck in a child’s throat they do not dissolve or break down. They are a massive choking risk and children have died from choking on mini eggs.
Buy chocolate buttons instead.
Don’t risk it πŸ§‘πŸ’›) 🍫 🍫🍫

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this post to share with you all that as of 31st March Little Nippers will close its front door for the final time. We have had an absolute blast for the last 20 months and have loved watching all the children grow and learn so much, we've shared lots of laughter, cuddles, tears and many many germs πŸ¦ πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…!
Thank you all for your wonderful support throughout our journey and of course to our current families for their understanding during this time.
So for now, we look forward to our final 6 weeks with our littles, we will still have lots of fun, adventures and exciting times ahead ❀️

Ross Crabb and I would like to wish our families and all our followers a very merry Christmas! It’s been an amazing term, taking the plunge to work together and putting everything on the line to make childminding work. We’ve loved getting to meet and know so many little people and their families and become part of their lives! We can’t wait too see what they all achieve in 2023!!
For now Ross and I are going to take some much needed rest and enjoy some special family time with our own two little people , who have also been amazing this term - starting school and learning to share their home and their parents with other littles! πŸ₯° we also may enjoy a little wine! πŸ˜‚
Merry Christmas and wishing you all a happy and healthy new year! 2023 here we come!!
