Common Questions
Why choose an in-home childcare provider like Hearth? Undivided Attention: Your child receives 100% of my focus, building a true "safe person" connection impossible in a busy nursery. The Comfort of Home: Familiar surroundings entirely remove the overstimulation and stressful transitions of group settings. Child-Led Pacing: Care adapts in real time to your child's emotional state, routine, and SEN needs rather than a rigid schedule. Expertise Beyond Babysitting: Backed by over six years of professional early years and specialist school experience, delivering expert support rather than basic supervision.
How do we get started with you? The process begins by requesting your "Hearth Family Start" online through the website, where you'll choose a date and complete the "Getting to Know Your Child" form all in one go. Once I review the details and confirm the booking, we will meet for our complimentary, one-time introductory session in your home with you (or another guardian) present. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, allows your child to settle in, and ensures everything is a perfect fit before any paid childcare begins!
What is your professional background and experience? With over six years of experience in the childcare sector, my journey began at college studying Level 2 Health and Social Care alongside childcare, before stepping straight into nursery work where I completed my Level 3 qualification through an apprenticeship. Over my time working in nurseries, I grew in confidence and earned the deep respect of staff, managers, parents, and children alike, which led to my promotion to Deputy Room Lead. Wanting to expand my expertise further into specialist support, I transitioned into a specialist school environment. Today, I bring that rich blend of over six years of experience, nursery leadership and specialist SEN experience straight into families' homes through Hearth Childcare, running it alongside my role in the specialist school.
What makes Hearth Childcare different? In-Home Comfort & Familiarity: Care happens right in your child's own home, keeping their familiar routine, favorite things, and safe space intact without the overstimulation or unfamiliar setting of a traditional nursery. The "Safe Person" & Child-Led Approach: Grounded in the philosophy that "behaviour is communication," sessions focus on building a genuine, trusted connection so children feel safe enough to be themselves. Specialist SEN Support: Backed by hands-on specialist school experience, patience and training to handle big emotions, transitions, and additional needs with patience and understanding. Personalized Extras & Perks: Every session features deep personalization—including occasional tailored resource bags brought for children who need extra support. For parents, exclusive access to our WhatsApp Parent community for updates, announcements, and weekly offers, alongside a loyalty card rewarding your 6th booking free after 5 bookings of at least 3 hours each (currently available to our first 15 joining families).
