Meet your childminder
Hello, I’m Pranali
I’m a caring, responsible and organised childminder with over 18 years’ experience, including looking after premature babies and children with additional needs. I’m experienced with children who have multiple food allergies and trained to use an EpiPen.
Little Wonders is a smoke-free, pet-free family home in Northampton. Children learn through play in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage, and parents receive regular updates and photos, so you can work with complete peace of mind.
