Little Explorers Childminding Blairgowrie

Provides a warm, loving, safe & nurturing environment to ensure children develop to their full potential, while having lots of FUN!

My name is Louise Walker, my childminding service is Little Explorers. I live in Blairgowrie, close to the community campus, in a 2 bedroom semi-detached house with enclosed gardens with my husband Ryan who is a police officer and my little boy Leo, born December 2012.

Childminding is more than just a job to me. I am passionate about providing all children in my care with a warm, loving, safe and nurturing environment to ensure they develop to their full potential whilst having lots of FUN!

I spent over 4 years working in a private children's nursery with children up to the age of 5 before leaving to have my son.



OPENING HOURS

My opening hours are Monday-Friday 8AM-6PM, however I am willing to negotiate beyond these hours when required. I may be able to accommodate shift work dependent on circumstances.

I can drop off and collect from the new hill community campus.

I am registered to look after 6 children age 0-12 years.

My fees are as follows;

Half days run from either 8am-12. 45pm or 1. 15-6pm

Half Day - £20

Full Day - £35

If you require only after or before school care or work shifts please let me know and we can work something out.



HEALTHY EATING

I am happy to provide all children in my care with healthy meals and snacks throughout the day.

Breakfast, lunch and snacks are inclusive of the fees paid. I will provide tea if required but do ask for a minimum of 24 hours notice. A fee of £2 is charged for this.
