Our Mission
Inclusion, Diversity & Equality
At Cherie Childminding, we believe every child deserves to feel valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. We celebrate the uniqueness of every child and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all children, regardless of their abilities, background, culture, language, religion, gender, or family circumstances, feel safe, welcomed, and supported.
We recognise that every child learns and develops in their own way. Whether a child has additional needs, a learning disability, a developmental difference, or simply requires extra support, we tailor our care and learning experiences to meet their individual strengths and needs. By working closely with parents, carers, and external professionals where appropriate, we ensure that every child receives the encouragement and support they need to thrive.
We are committed to removing barriers to learning and participation, ensuring that every child can engage confidently in all aspects of our provision. We champion each child's voice, celebrate their achievements, and nurture their confidence, independence, and wellbeing.
Safeguarding
At Cherie Childminding, the safety, wellbeing, and happiness of every child are our highest priorities. We are committed to providing a secure, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every child feels safe, respected, listened to, and valued.
We believe that safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. Our team is trained to recognise the signs of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and other welfare concerns, and we follow robust safeguarding procedures in line with current legislation and best practice. We work closely with parents, carers, and relevant professionals to ensure children receive the care, protection, and support they need.
At Cherie Childminding, we are dedicated to creating a culture where every child is protected, included, and supported to thrive. By working in partnership with families and the wider community, we ensure that all children—regardless of their abilities, background, or circumstances—have the opportunity to grow in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment.
High-Level Childcare
At Cherie Childminding, we provide exceptional childcare in an inspiring environment where every child is encouraged to learn, and flourish. We believe that childhood should be filled with curiosity, creativity, meaningful experiences, and the confidence to explore the world at each child's own pace.
Our approach is centred on the understanding that every child is unique. We celebrate individuality and recognise that children learn, communicate, and develop in different ways. Through play-based learning, outdoor exploration, creative activities, and meaningful everyday experiences, we help children develop the skills, confidence, and independence they need for the future. Our carefully planned activities support all areas of learning and development while nurturing emotional wellbeing, social skills, communication, and a lifelong love of learning.
We believe that strong partnerships with families are essential to a child's success. By maintaining open communication, sharing milestones, celebrating achievements, and working collaboratively with parents and professionals where appropriate, we create a supportive community that places every child's wellbeing at its heart.
At Cherie Childminding, inclusion is woven into everything we do. We embrace diversity, celebrate differences, and ensure that every child feels valued, respected, and empowered to be themselves. Our goal is simple: to provide outstanding childcare where every child belongs, every achievement is celebrated, and every family feels supported throughout their journey.
Wellbeing & Engagement
We believe that happy, confident children are the foundation of successful learning and development. By placing wellbeing at the heart of everything we do, we create a nurturing environment where every child feels encouraged to be themselves.
We understand that every child engages with the world differently. Some children thrive through active play, while others prefer quieter, more focused activities. By recognising each child's interests, and individual learning style, we provide experiences that inspire curiosity, encourage independence, and build confidence.
Our days are filled with meaningful opportunities for exploration, creativity, outdoor play, and hands-on learning. We carefully plan activities that reflect children's interests while supporting their emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development. By following each child's lead and celebrating their achievements, we foster a lifelong love of learning in a way that is enjoyable, and engaging.
