Childcare and Early Education Providers

My name is Erica and I live in Jesmond with my husband Stephen and our two children. I previously worked as a children’s nurse so have lots of experience working with children of all ages. I started childminding in April 2026.

I offer a warm, nurturing, and home-from-home childcare service. Children feel safe, valued, and supported to thrive. My setting provides high-quality care in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). I support children’s learning and development through a balance of activities and child-led play.
