Natural Explorers Childminding

Morning, with just over 10 weeks until we move to Finland, I spent large portion of the bank holiday setting up our cabin for the summer 🌞 ready for the children to arrive this morning, and give us space to pack up and redecorate the rest of our home...what did you do over your bank holiday?

Have a good week all! X

Now I have shared with our parents I am just wanting to announce that after almost 7 years of childminding and lots more of being in Early Years education I will be closing our doors to the families of Natural Explorer's.

After years of deliberation and many a discussion we have finally decided to take the plunge and move to our beloved Finland 🇫🇮 Time for a new season and fresh adventures as a family!

I'm so grateful for the amazing privilege it is to be an Early Years Educator and want to say a MASSIVE thank you to all of those who put their precious children into my care. I have so many amazing memories to take with me and have honestly loved my job, it's been often exhausting and overwhelming, sometimes tedious and lonely, inevitably challenging; but genuinely full of wonderful, funny, loving, fulfilling, and inspiring times with the best set of children! Each of them full of joy and wonder and it is *such* a special thing to be the person to care for, engage with and be a part of their lifelong learning.

I'm so grateful for those of you that encouraged me personally along the way, to start the business and the persevere in hard times. Those of you who donated toys and resources to us, and were generous and kind in so many ways.

Thank you to YOU, insta-friends who have supported and inspired and been encouraging! I've never have a single negative comment on here and I think that's amazing! The Early Years online community is a kind and magical place, I feel like I've gained some real friends through this place, thank you.

Much love, and stay tuned for more Exploring and adventures for our family!
