About Me

Hayley Shepherd - Your Local Childminder
I am 28 years old with over 10 years experience working with children. I am a mother of 2, I love baking, creative arts, all things Disney and being able to be myself. I have also got 2 cats.
I have always loved working with children having spent my whole career in schools and nursery settings, and it has been a dream to be able to start my own childminding business serving families in the Diss area and nearby villages like Rickinghall.
With years of hands-on childcare experience, I support families across Diss, Rickinghall, and nearby villages, my schedule for the day includes early years learning, reading/song time, messy play, trips out to local attractions and free play time in my dedicated playrooms/garden. I offer flexible childcare that fits around your family's needs.
I enjoyed working in schools and nurseries but for me its all about the personal touch of being able to meet parents and learn about them and their families plus getting to know the children on a one to one basis, being able to see what they can accomplish when they put their minds to it and seeing them become their own individuals is so amazing.
If youβre looking for a warm, nurturing childcare setting nearby, I provide a warm, nurturing environment where children can thrive. Feel free to get in contact to meet me and take a tour of the setting.
