About Me

I am fully booked for day care currently.
I have space for wrap around care for Middleton primary school from September 2024.
My name is Grace Garrett and I live in Wollaton, Nottingham. I live with my husband and 2 children who are 4 and 1. As a family we love spending time outdoors, exploring nature in all weathers and spending quality time being creative together. I have been a teacher in the early years for 10 years and an early years leader in both primary schools and nursery schools for over 7 years. I am passionate about children's early development and using many aspects of Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches to learning. I have a deep understanding of children's development and how they learn, providing new and exciting resources and play opportunities regularly. My home from home setting offers open ended, explorative and creative play which is constantly evolving to respond to the children's interests. My house is semi detached and the downstairs is open plan throughout the living room, kitchen diner and dedicated play space. We have a safe enclosed garden with play equipment a mud kitchen, sand and water play.
When childminding we will go on lots of adventures in the local area. I live in walking distance of Wollaton Park, as well as Raleigh and Martin's Pond. Choosing me as your childminder means your child will visit everything the local area has to offer such as the library, playgrounds and toddler groups on a weekly basis.
I love to cook and enjoy offering a healthy varied diet to my own children. Included in a full day of care will be breakfast, 2 snacks, lunch (hot or cold) and a home cooked tea. All menus will be shared with parents and allergies catered for.
I offer tax free childcare and free hours for 2,3,4 year olds. Please note that a top up fee will be required for the food and other consumables as this is not included in the government's funding.
