At Little Stars Childminders, we believe children learn best through real-life experiences. That's why we regularly head out to explore the wonderful parks, attractions and open spaces around Wrexham and the surrounding area.

Whether we're feeding animals, exploring woodlands, discovering wildlife or simply enjoying fresh air and outdoor play, every outing helps children develop confidence, curiosity and a love of learning.

Childminding Service with a Focus on Home Comfort and Outdoor Play

At my childminding service, I provide a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can feel safe and comfortable while having fun. Our home is carefully designed to foster creativity, curiosity, and learning, offering a range of indoor and outdoor activities tailored to each child’s needs and interests.

My large garden plays a key role in our daily activities, providing an ideal space for children to explore, play, and develop their physical skills. The garden features a variety of safe, age-appropriate play equipment, including climbing frames, slides, and sandpits, as well as ample room for imaginative games, gardening, and nature-based learning. The outdoor space is perfect for running around, engaging in group activities, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment in nature.

Inside, my home is filled with cosy spaces where children can relax, engage in creative play, and participate in educational activities. From arts and crafts to reading and building, our indoor areas are designed to inspire imagination and learning. I ensure that children feel at home, with plenty of opportunities for them to make their own choices and express themselves freely.

Whether it’s a day filled with outdoor adventures in the garden or quiet moments inside, we create a balanced, enriching environment that supports each child’s physical, emotional, and social development. With a focus on both indoor and outdoor play, I provide a holistic approach to early childhood care that allows children to grow, learn, and thrive. Ideally situated in Acton, not far from Borras, Wrexham Industrial Estate and the Wrexham City Centre, our registered childminders provide childcare to tailor around you and your child's needs.
