About Meerkats
A wholesome little world tucked in the heart of Chorley.
Meerkats Childminding is a family-run setting in Wheelton, just outside Chorley town centre. We've been welcoming local babies, toddlers and school-age children into our home for years — building friendships, confidence and (a fair few muddy memories) along the way.
What we believe.
Children grow best when they feel safe, loved and free to explore. Our days are guided by the EYFS but driven by the children's own ideas.
Kindness first
Every child is met with patience, warmth and a proper good morning.
Curiosity outside
Lancashire weather doesn't stop us — wellies on, off we go.
Safe & steady
Calm routines and clear safeguarding so children — and parents — relax.
Mixed-age family
Older ones learn to be gentle. Little ones learn from older ones.
