Lyn's Childminding Service

Lyn's Childminding Service I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder based in West Sussex. I am fully qualified and DBS checked. I provide childcare from birth to school age.

I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Horsham West Sussex. I offer a home from home childcare setting close to Horsham town centre with an amazing garden to explore including an orchard. I provide a varied curriculum with the curiosity approach, encompassing Hygge the danish approach to living well, with a feeling of warmth and togetherness and being present in the moment, where we take time to explore and understand the world around us. Montessori learning provides children with resources to explore and learn from in their own way. Please contact me for more information.

Why Choose My Childcare Setting?

I offer Ofsted-registered, DBS-checked childcare for babies and children aged 0–3 years in a warm, welcoming home-from-home environment.

Children are encouraged to follow their own interests, explore at their own pace and learn through play. I provide a range of creative and Montessori-inspired activities, loose parts, stories, baking and everyday experiences to support their confidence, independence and imagination.

We also enjoy spending time outdoors, celebrating the Hygge feeling, going on nature walks and discovering what each season has to offer.

To help your child settle in, I offer two free one-hour settling-in sessions, with additional sessions available if needed.

My aim is for every child to feel safe, happy, valued and excited to learn.

Get in touch today to find out more and start your child’s childcare journey.

Our August adventures trying out some new places. We have been to Washbrooks and discussed how donkeys ears are bigger than horses. We have been to RHS Wisley and paddled in the brook, saw and gently touched flowers, highlight of the day was seeing a tractor. We have played at home playing with keys and practiced counting and we have been to Tilgate zoo to see the animals. Children’s favourite were the meerkats mine was the armadillo. As we come to the end of August we said a final farewell to some of our children and prepare to welcome the patter of new little feet to our setting ready for Autumn term adventures x

At Lyn Foster Childminding, children are welcomed into a calm, cosy, home-from-home space where they can learn, grow, and feel truly cherished. As I say in my curriculum, “children are cherished as unique individuals and learning happens through warmth, play, and meaningful experiences.”
My setting follows the EYFS and is inspired by hygge — soft lighting, natural materials, relaxed play, and plenty of time outdoors in all seasons. It’s all about helping children feel safe, settled, and ready to explore the world around them.
Every child begins their journey with me as a Unique Child. I take time to learn what they love, how they learn best, and what makes them feel confident. From there, I gently scaffold their development, supporting them as they grow and prepare for nursery.
Our days are filled with simple joys: baking, nature walks, stories, rhymes, singing, crafts, imaginative play, and mindful moments. Daily reading and singing are a big part of what we do — they help children build vocabulary, strengthen emotional bonds, and become confident communicators.
Across the seven EYFS areas, I support children through:
• Communication & Language
• Personal, Social & Emotional Development
• Physical Development
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts & Design
I also help little ones build the skills they need for nursery — independence, confidence, turn-taking, curiosity, and a love of stories and mark making.
Most importantly, I work closely with parents every step of the way. As my curriculum says, “I work closely with families to ensure your child receives consistent, loving support.”
If you’d like to know more about my setting or arrange a visit, feel free to get in touch. I love sharing what we do and meeting new families.

July time. We bid a sad farewell to one of our families that I have had the pleasure to look after all 3 of their children. We wish you all the very best for the future.
We have spent several days at Nymans this month discovering something new each time, from the secret garden, gargoyles, enormous plants, the play glade and rolling down grassy banks on a summers day. We have paddled in the sea, played in the cool of the woods, and been entertained by the gorgeous Katie of music bus. We have learnt new skills practicing hand/eye coordination posting bottle tops and building with blocks, developed new enveloping schemas wrapping up toys. Listened to stories everyday and practiced yoga. Lyn even got up at 3am with her own children to watch the sunrise!

June was a very busy month with soft play, Octopus sports day, our big toddle in the park raising money for Banardos with our Octopus group friends. Beach days, playing in the park and lots of learning through play. Practicing our writing skills, counting and building with bricks and learning colours. In the hottest days of the year so far we had outdoor water play first thing then in doors with fans on watching The hungry caterpillar, followed by reading the book and doing the puzzle learning to count through play. Can’t wait to see what fun July will bring.

Another busy month. Our new outside kitchen and play food has been a real hit. Lots of sharing out the food and counting how many plates are needed. Painting in the woods thanks to fellow childminders’Terri’. We have a New Guinea pig Chester. He was too cute to leave in the pet shop on his own. My own youngest (twins) turned 18 and we celebrated with a family get away. Lots of indoor play, outdoor play and National trust visits.

Wow what a great April we had, mostly spent in the garden and woods. We did our first trip to the beech this year, had a music session with our local Music Bus and just played. We found an empty birds nest in the woods and a dog fish on the beach. We said hello to spring as nature unfolded the blossom came out, the bluebells bloomed and my wisteria flowered.
