About Shelby's

Shelby's childminding is a home based setting, providing a fun, safe, warm and welcoming environment. Shelby's is inspired by Hygge, Montessori, the Curiosity Approach and the Forest School ethos, all of which helps to create a fantastic learning environment, full of opportunities for exploration and play, and using the natural environment as much as possible to do so.

Shelby's aims to promote an environment where children are caring, respectful and mindful of one another and the world around them, with Teamwork playing a key role each day.
I encourage and nurture each child, paying close attention to their individual needs and interests, I help them to develop their self belief, independence and confidence.     
I want each day to be a joy for every child, for them to have lots of fun and discover a natural love for nature and the planet, as well as creating a lifelong love of learning.

By the time your little one leaves, Shelby's wants to ensure that your little one is both ready and excited for their next chapter at nursery or primary school and beyond, getting them ready and well prepared for their bright and happy future.

About me

My name is Shelby and I run Shelby's a home based childcare setting. I am a fully Ofsted registered childminder based in Dartford, Kent. I live with my Fiancé George, daughter Anella (5 years old) and son Gino (1 year old). We live in a 2 bedroom semi-detached house which has an enclosed garden.

As a mum of two, I want to combine my love of being a mum, with my passion for working with young children and provide an educational/learning experience of a nursery within the comfort of a home from home environment.

I want your child to feel part of the family, feeling comfortable and happy, therefore enabling them to develop every step of the way with confidence and ultimately having the best educational start to life.
