Meet your childminder
Hi, I’m Kayleigh.
I’m a mum of three and very family-orientated. Over the past three years, I’ve worked with children from the Early Years through to Year 2, giving me experience of supporting different ages, personalities and individual needs.
The name Little Lemon’s is especially personal to our family—it comes from my partner and son’s surname, Lemon.
I’m creating the kind of childcare setting I would want for my own children: warm, dependable and full of happy opportunities to learn through everyday play. Children can enjoy cosy story times, creative and sensory play, our garden, and walks to nearby parks and woodland.
