About Little Bundles Childminding LTD

  • We are new to the B90 area!
    I am a fun-loving individual and and am a proud mother of two beautiful boys aged 9 and 12. Little Bundles ran successfully for 2 academic years in Yorkshire and was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2024. The inspector was particularly impressed with how well I knew the children in my care and the level of progress that they were all making in all areas from their starting points.
    We provide a home away from home for children between 6 months and 5 years and create a child friendly, stimulating and engaging environment where we can develop young minds and help them to make optimum progress.
    When a child joins us at Little Bundles we try to understand their needs and work with parents to help them to consistently make progress from their starting points. We share photos and videos with parents so they can partake in their child's development. We provide a healthy and balanced diet over the week with timely snacks and meals to encourage positive eating habits as well as opportunities for them to rest or sleep as appropriate.
    We track the progress that our babies and children make using the Birth to 5 matters so we can actively help them to progress towards their next steps.
