Discover Forget Me Nots Childminding Service
Welcome to Forget Me Nots Childcare - an OFSTED registered warm, caring, homely environment, where children are free to explore and develop at a pace which suits them with expert support from a qualified experienced early years teacher.
Home: Welcome
My name is Jenny and I have been a qualified teacher in Leicester for 8 years specialising in the early years. I am a warm and naturally maternal person whose call to teaching started from an early age. I am reliable and hard working and devoted to my passion for early education. I am also a mother to two energetic boys, Sonny and Bernie. I chose to change my career as I wanted to offer a more personalised form of education where I can truly make a difference. I offer a high quality service where I work closely with parents to provide the best care possible for each child in my setting. My ethos is "Parents are experts when it comes to their children." I aim for my setting to be cosy and nurturing, where children feel instantly at home and part of the family.

My setting is designed specifically to meet the early years curriculum requirements. By providing an environment full of curiosities, authentic resources and open ended play I can ensure each child experiences the awe and wonder of the world around them and leave each day filled with joy and excitement about their discoveries. This is how the best learning happens through play and exploration!

A Home from Home
I have worked really hard to make my setting feel like a home from home. Cosy lights and calming spaces create an ideal environment for learning and exploration. I have a dedicated play area for the children in my living room which is set up with a home corner, dress up, small world invitations and construction as well as lots of curious objects to explore. I set this up weekly based on the seasons and child led interests. I also have lots of heuristic play and sensory baskets as well and the pikler arch and ramp and a busy board. There is a dough table and a play kitchen with a sensory tray set up in the kitchen diner. All of the downstairs is open to the children, including the garden.
​
We have a patio garden with a mud kitchen and a sand and water/ sensory tray as well as many other activities that I set up each week. I love outdoor learning and will be taking children outside every day where possible. We are lucky enough to live close by to three different parks where we can go and develop gross motor skills, running, climbing, jumping etc.
Sensory/ Messy Play
Babies learn best through experiences. I like to provide all sorts of opportunities for this, whether its outdoors in the mud pit, splashing in puddles, finger painting, mark making in sand or shaving foam. We will get messy so please don't send them in their Sunday best!
After School Care
I offer a home from home environment where after a 20 minute stroll from the school children can relax and unwind after a long day. They will get a delicious hot meal and a dessert and then be free to enjoy a selection  of activities and games or chill and read a book in the reading corner.
Trips
I plan and organise a couple of trips every year for the little ones in my setting. I believe these experiences are so important for their development and helps them to understand how the world works. They are also great fun and often form our first memories of childhood! Some trips will be free of charge and others may incur an extra cost but I will always notify you and strive to make any extra cost reasonable and worth it! Pictured above is our annual trip to Rolleston to collect conkers!
