About Us
Welcome to First Steps Childminding, my name is Julie Cartwright and I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Helston, Cornwall offering a warm welcome to children from 0 - 11 years of age. My husband George has been my assistant since 2017 on retiring from the Royal Navy and both the children and setting are benefiting from a positive male role model.
We provide a stimulating, fun, happy and secure environment for your child/children. Choosing a childminder means a smaller setting, which allows for a more one to one approach getting to know each individual child and their needs. I can provide flexibility and continuity of care allowing the child’s routine as near as possible to be a replication of that at home. This makes it easier for the child/children to settle in and for you to be happy that your values/cultural needs are being respected. I can work with other professionals and pre schools to plan for children of all ages and stages of development.

We live close to a large park and green area which we make good use of. We visit local historical attractions and explore lots of varied outdoor natural spaces.
