Alison James I am from a close-nit family and I am a mother of two grown up children. I initially wanted a football team of children of my own so childminding was the next best thing! After several years working for the American Broadcasting Corporation, I found my way back to my passion of doing something with children. I worked for over 6 years in an Academy as a Cover Supervisor for students in age 11-18. In addition to this I delivered mentoring sessions for children in these year groups as well as coaching netball skills to children and adults in and outside of the Academy. Working with the Early Years brings a smile to my face every morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627544a83798b733526b7176/4dd67fcb-be01-4c42-bb84-b47b1cdb7c4d/PHOTO-2025-03-06-11-55-50.jpeg Our Team - Michelle James I am passionate about creating a nurturing, safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where children can thrive. My approach is rooted in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) guidelines, focusing on the seven key areas of development to help every child reach their full potential before starting school. I come from a creative background and family and believe children learn best through play, exploration, and creativity. By tailoring learning opportunities to each child’s interests and unique characteristics, I aim to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for learning through discovery. As a professional working in the industry for 2 and a half years, I am committed to working in partnership with families. I believe open and honest communication ensures both children and parents/guardians feel respected and valued as we work together to support their child’s journey. My ultimate goal is to make a meaningful difference in children’s lives, helping them develop confidence, independence, and a strong foundation for their early education. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627544a83798b733526b7176/26310f6d-1054-448a-bd7f-6939fdc2b81e/PHOTO-2026-03-10-19-52-28.jpeg Our Team - Andrea Barnard I have always wanted to work with children from as far back as I can remember so this was the career path I chose since leaving school. I have 5 years’ experience working in nursery settings including Montessori, Local Authority and Private Settings before joining the family business in 2015. I am affectionally known to all the children as “Anj-Anj”, a name given to me by a child I worked with in one of my previous settings. The fact that parents often say the children talk about going to see “Anj-Anj” just confirms that I’m in the best job ever! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627544a83798b733526b7176/fb6c65db-a630-4ed2-a0bf-229f965c35d1/PHOTO-2025-11-07-09-13-16+2.jpeg Our Team - Amber Caldwell As the youngest of 3, I have always loved being around young children. With two of my own, I am passionate about creating wholesome, enriched and exciting environments for children to thrive in. With a creative background, beginning in performing arts, I enjoy bringing a variety of learning opportunities to the setting such as role play and movement, but also using the arts as a means of building skills, confidence and imagination. Understanding the importance of this vital stage of development in the early years, my aim is to always add value wherever I go, and build caring and meaningful bonds with the young people that I am lucky enough to care for. I have over 5 years of experience working with children and more recently become a qualified childminder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627544a83798b733526b7176/1652963692063-WF3Q9KWHE8R448XYSV2V/A%26M+Childcare+Icons_Reviews.png Our Team -
