Little Rainbows Childcare

Nice surprise the week before Xmas. Looking forward to adding this to my business. Something new to offer families!

Ad hoc care. Are you looking for ad hoc childcare in the evening or weekends? This weekend I've been busy with ad hoc care which I offer alongside regular childcare throughout the week. If you are looking for babysitting either during the day Saturday or Sunday or any evening then get in touch. I'm a registered Childminder, first aid trained, insured, qualified and experienced.
I will also have spaces Tuesday-Friday summer 2023 should you want to find out more about what a Childminder offers then don't hesitate to get in touch.

We've had a busy week so far. Rearranging our summer house play space, looking after our plants in the garden and making smoothies in the mud kitchen with our fresh herbs. Want to join us having fun? Space available 2023. Get in touch today to find out more.

We've had a busy 1st week back after holidays. Lots of fun outdoors and plenty of water play. It's been great having more school age children to play at Little Rainbows- they love being around the younger children and having the opportunity to be in a relaxed home from home setting. If you are looking for holiday care over the next couple of weeks please get in touch. I'm a registered and qualified childcare provider, with over 16 years experience. I also offer evening and weekend babysitting.

One of our favourite places for having fun outdoors is Saughton Gardens and park. The little ones love running around and looking at all the flowers, hiding in the trees, climbing and watching the bees. We have been growing our own herbs and strawberries back at Little Rainbows and the littles have been helping care for them, we've been discovering what plants need to grow and learning about bees through play and at storytime in the garden. Wonderful early learning.

Quality is the measure that matters – and childminders are consistently one of the highest rated forms of childcare in Scotland.

KEY FACT | 92.6% of registered childminders are rated ‘Good’ or higher across all quality ratings by the Care Inspectorate. Despite the significant challenges presented by the pandemic, childminders continue to maintain high-quality care.

Childminders provide high-quality, flexible care in a home-from-home environment, that benefits children of all ages – and helps to make a difference.

Did you know…?

Research shows that childminding has a highly positive impact on the whole family. Parents find childminders “more flexible” and “more child-led” when compared to nursery settings.

Having a mix of ages in small groups helps to benefit close relationships and social skills development. This also provides greater continuity, and childminders know children “inside out”.

Childminding is more than a form of childcare – it provides wider family support, through emotional support and “close, but professional” guidance for parents.

We love the outdoors and it forms a large part of what we do here at Little Rainbows. Children really benefit from fresh air and the freedom the outdoors provides. Opportunities for language development, socialisation, development of gross and fine motor skills but most importantly it's fun! Would you like your little one to join us on our adventures? I have a Wednesday and Friday space available from August 2022.
