 Exploring a World of Wonder: A Peek into Our Childminding Journey 

  • Introduction:
Hello and welcome to our pleasant corner of the world! I'm Michelle, your childminder extraordinaire, and I am thrilled to share a glimpse into the wonderful setting where young minds flourish and blossom. As a passionate advocate for early childhood development, I have curated an environment that not only nurtures but also sparks curiosity and ignites a love for learning.

  • Our Setting:
Nestled in the heart of Manchester, our childminding space is a place for children to explore, play, and grow. With a warm and inviting atmosphere, I strive to create a home away from home where each child feels secure, valued, and free to express their unique personality.

  • Activities and Experiences:
One of the key elements of our childminding journey is the carefully crafted activities and experiences aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). From sensory play to imaginative storytelling, every interaction is purposeful and designed to support the holistic development of each child. We believe in the power of play as the foundation for learning and building essential skills in communication, socialisation, and problem-solving.
Our weekly schedule includes a variety of activities such as arts and crafts, music and movement, and outdoor exploration. These experiences not only captivate the children's interest but also seamlessly integrate with the EYFS framework, ensuring that every child receives a well-rounded early education.

  • Places to visit:
Our childminding adventure extends beyond the confines of our home. Exploring the local community is an integral part of our curriculum, and the nearby Newton Heath Library, Debdel Park, Heaton Park Animal Farm, central police station, Blackley Fire Station, central part tram station and Little Angle Play Group are favourite destinations.
Regular trips to the library expose the children to a world of books, fostering a love for reading and language development. These outings are not just educational; they create lasting memories and connections within our community.

  • Local Community Engagement:
We strongly believe in the power of community, and our childminding setting is an active participant in local events and initiatives. Collaborations with neighbouring businesses, involvement in community projects, and interactions with local families enrich the children's understanding of the world around them. By incorporating community engagement into our curriculum, we strive to instil a sense of belonging and social responsibility in each child.

  • Play and learning opportunities:
Play is the language of childhood, and we embrace its transformative power in our childminding setting. Our play-based learning approach allows children to explore, experiment, and discover at their own pace. Whether it's a messy art project, a group game, or unstructured free play, every moment is a valuable opportunity for growth and development.


In conclusion, our childminding setting is a place where laughter echoes, friendships bloom, and young minds embark on a journey of discovery. Join us as we celebrate the beauty of childhood and lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
