I will follow the EYFS closely ensuring your child is meeting their development stages and providing additional support where needed.

Your child will have alot of time outside, we love being outdoors and exploring nature. As well as day trips and new experiences which are such an important part of our week at Chestnut Childminding.

I enjoy porviding sensory play opportunities for the children and giving them a safe place to learn and grown in their early years.

I also provide School drop off and pick ups from Highwoods community school, offering a relaxed environment and we like to do baking, play games, do yoga and occasionally we will go to the local care home to do activities with the residents.
