Little Footsteps Childminding 👣 currently has spaces available❤️

2x Friday

And 1 x Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday (can choose which day not all 3).

I am a Level 6 qualified childcare practitioner and have recently completed my BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Professional Studies, further extending both my knowledge and passion for early years education.

Alongside this, I am currently in my fourth year of training as a children’s psychotherapeutic counsellor, which continues to deepen my understanding of children’s emotional wellbeing and development.

At Little Footsteps, I believe children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful experiences. I provide a warm, nurturing environment with engaging provocations both indoors and outdoors, carefully planned around the children’s interests and individual stages of development.

Little Footsteps accepts both 15 and 30 hours funded childcare for eligible 2, 3, and 4 year olds.

📍 Based in the Hardwick new builds area
🏡 Designated playroom and garden
🚶‍♀️ Just a 5-minute walk from North Tees Hospital

I understand every family’s needs are different, so I am happy to offer flexibility with days and times where possible.

Please feel free to message me with any enquiries or questions — I’d love to chat! ❤️

Loved this activity today....

We all watched the story about Pumpkin Jack. 🎃

Calved our pumpkin 🎃, apparently it had to look the same as the one in the book (R).

We added soil and watered him.

What's going to happen to pumpkin Jack?

🎃

Wait and see....
Love the pumpkin 🎃 jar from Home Bargains.
