About Little Stars Childminding - Our Mission

---

Welcome to my childminding service! 

My name is Jayne, and I am passionate about providing a safe, caring and fun environment where children can thrive, learn, and grow. I have 25 years of experience working with children and their families. I do also have experience working with children with additional learning needs. 

I live in a family-oriented home in Acton, Wrexham with my husband, David, and our three children, Morgan, Olivia, and Ayden. We also have a friendly Golden Doodle named Bailey.

Bailey is very much a family member and does have the run of the house, although we do have enough space to separate him from the children when needed and we ensure that he is up to date with vaccinations and treatment.  

Any interaction between him and the children is always closely supervised.

Our home is ideally situated close to Wrexham City Centre and as well as the majority of the Wrexham area, can also services Borras, Wrexham Industrial Estate, Smithy Lane, Gresford, Pandy etc.

Our Mission & Aims of My Service:
