Welcome to Little Explorers
Spaces available for September 2020!
Hello, my name is Laura Rafferty. I am an Ofsted registered Childminder based in Hilperton, Trowbridge. I have been graded as Outstanding in my first Ofsted Inspection. I am also accredited, which means I am able to offer free childcare to children aged 2, 3 and 4 who are entitled to 15 or 30 hours of free childcare a week. As a Childminder I am able to look after 3 children under 5. Due to a child on my books starting school this September I have one space available.
I am a qualified primary school teacher with experience teaching the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). I currently teach in Reception two days a week. Through teaching I have a wide range of experience working with children of all ages and I will use my experience in my endeavour to provide outstanding childcare for your child. Your child's interests will be the starting point for planning activities to develop their learning in a fun interactive way and I will ask you to provide information about their current learning and interests in order to achieve this. As a mother myself I know what an important choice it is deciding on your child care provider. If you choose me as your Childminder I will work with you to settle your child calmly into the setting. I provide a two hour free settling in period after we have completed the contract and you have have read my policies and procedures. During this time you are very welcome to stay for all or part of the time or simply drop your child off with me and return in two hours.
We are based in Hilperton near Hilperton Primary School. I can currently offer school collection from Hilperton Primary School. We had an extension built in 2017 in which there is a coat room, for your child to hang their coat, bag, and store their wellies and belongings. From the coat room you enter the large play room, which has a toilet attached. We have direct access to the large and well equipped garden from the playroom.
If you have any questions or you would like to arrange a visit, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
