Hello there

We're Amber & Rainy

We're a mum‑and‑daughter team who've turned our home into a warm little world for children to explore. From first wobbly steps to school‑ready, our days are full of stories, songs, muddy boots and plenty of cuddles — with familiar faces and gentle routines throughout.

Come and see our playroom and garden for yourself — the children already love it here.

Our days

Why families choose us

Little things, done with lots of love — here's what makes our days special.

Home‑from‑home

A cosy, familiar space with gentle routines and friendly faces — just like being at home.

Outdoor play & mud kitchen

An enclosed garden, a proper mud kitchen and wellies at the ready — rain or shine.

Learning through play

We follow each child's interests with stories, crafts, songs and messy, hands‑on fun.

Small, caring numbers

Fewer children means more time, more attention and more one‑to‑one care for yours.

Home‑cooked snacks & meals

Healthy, home‑cooked food throughout the day, with allergies and preferences always catered for.

Working closely with you

Daily updates, photos and a proper handover — so you never miss a moment of their day.
