We are passionate about giving children the best possible start in life, and having been childminders ourselves, we know how much dedication that takes. When we started Rutland Early Years we listened to what childminders told us they wanted to help them develop and run a successful and independent business, and we shaped our business model around this. The message coming through loud and clear was that childminders want to keep their independence and they wanted choice and support. Rutland Early Years continues to develop and evolve around the needs of childminders, speaking with them to help continued development of their business and offering support where needed.

Sam and Mel are two really lovely, very helpful and extremely knowledgeable ladies I couldn't recommend using their agency more.

It has been so amazing to know that I have the support of you both and the rest of the Rutland Childminders

Belinda REYAL registered childminder York

I feel I can ask away whenever I feel I need advice. They are the best people I have met in this industry, I feel so so happy. It is a huge relief and blessing to be able to be part of an agency that lifts each other up.

Khansa - Bradford

I am excited to start my childminding career with Rutland. If anyone was to express an interest in childminding to me I would be sure to recommend Rutland to them.

Toni - Stockton

I just want to thank you all for the hard work and time you have put in to helping me become registered, I wish that I had started the process with you in the first place.

Kelly - Windsor

I feel the approach Rutland takes in getting to know its childminders and supporting them actually helps children get a better quality education in a safer environment. This is because they take the time to do regular visits, they are available, approachable and anything untoward would be picked up quicker.

Carlene - Havering

You have saved my head from exploding the past couple of weeks!.

Lou - Oxfordshire

Very professional and supportive inspection from my consultant, she puts people at ease straight away.

This is lots of fun and simple, however be warned it is messy! So best to do it outside! 🎃You’ll need a carved pumpkinSome vinegarBaking sodaFood colouring is optional Once carved add roughly 1 cup of baking soda each pumpkin. If the pumpkins are on the smaller side you can use less baking soda.Next add a few drops of food coloring, if desired. Then, have kids pour 2-3 cups of vinegar into the pumpkins and quickly step back! The pumpkins will erupt with fizzing, bubbling fun almost immediately! This is also known as a baking soda and vinegar reaction.#eyfs #eyfskids #eyfsclassroom#learningthroughplay #welovetolearn#rutlandearlyyears#rutlandchildminders#autumn #whatcanwelearntoday#playtolearn #imagination #imaginativeplay #outsidelearning#natureplay#natureclassroom#learningthroughplay #finemotorskills#halloween #sensory ...

Velvet pumpkins 🎃 These are really simple and look great. You’ll need fabricA side small plateSome thread and needleA cinnamon stick for the stalkFilling- this can be cushion based, however we used dried lavender and rose petals Simple get some fabric, we used velvet as the children loved the colours and texture of the fabric. Next we drew around the plate and cut it out.Then, around the edges we started to sow in the threat. Pull tight once completed. Followed by adding the filling. Lastly put the cinnamon stick in the top and sow around the stick to keep in place.#eyfs #eyfskids #eyfsclassroom#learningthroughplay #welovetolearn#rutlandearlyyears#rutlandchildminders#autumn #whatcanwelearntoday#playtolearn #imagination #imaginativeplay #outsidelearning#natureplay#natureclassroom#learningthroughplay #finemotorskills#halloween #sensory ...
