About Childcare Near Me
Finding the right childcare can feel overwhelming. Most parents tour 5 to 7 nurseries before choosing one. Just as you’d research a holiday or a new car, childcare deserves the same care and attention. With over 10 years of experience in the childcare sector and strong expertise in social media, I help make this journey simple, enjoyable, and completely stress-free for new parents

Why Childcare Near Me
I understand how important it is for nurseries to fill spaces and showcase the exceptional care they provide. My mission is to connect families with the right settings while helping nurseries highlight what makes them truly special. Focused on the Northwest, I’m determined, driven, and deeply passionate about supporting this community.
My Story
My name is Chris and I am the founder of Childcare Near Me.
My journey into childcare began at 17 when I started studying for my NVQ Level 2 in Childcare. During a placement in a nursery, I quickly realised I had found something I genuinely loved and was offered my first role there.
I fell in love with the fast-paced environment, daily routines and most importantly the opportunity to positively influence children during their early development years.
By 19, I became one of the youngest fully qualified male nursery practitioners in the UK and went on to spend over 15 years working across the childcare sector in both practitioner and leadership roles.
Throughout my career, I saw first hand the panic, anxiety and pressure many parents face when trying to find the right nursery for their child.
Choosing childcare is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make and I understand how emotional and overwhelming that process can feel.
The trust parents placed in me throughout my career inspired me to create Childcare Near Me, helping families find childcare they can truly trust, in the northwest, where we have some absolutely fantastic nurseries.

Laura
“When I arrived at North house with Evie, I met Chris when he showed me around nursery.
He listened to any questions and put my anxiety at ease. He let Evie play with the other children and the staff were amazing.
I told myself I would take my time this was a big decision and this was the 5 th nursery I visited that week, however, I knew I wanted Evie to join and I signed up the later that evening and also did Noah 2 years later.
Chris has asked for a review for his new business, childcare near me and I’m more than happy to oblige! His passion for the children to grow, develop and love for the industry is second to none and I can’t wait to tell my friends about his new website!
Good luck Chris, you deserve all the success ❤️

“Chris was an amazing role model for Tyler, he unfortunately never had contact with his dad so having that influence at nursery was priceless.
Chris was Tyler’s key worker, he was always open to a chat and advised us about senco when we was worried about Tyler’s speech. Chris understands the stress parents are feeling and this website will help so many new parents and I just wish it was around in 2014 when we was looking for a nursery.
We loved the parents evenings, sports days and open days he ran everyone had so much fun it was absolutely heartbreaking when Tyler left for school in 2017, but he left with the greatest foundations. Wishing you all the best Chris “

“We tried 2 nurseries for Molly and we were not happy, she cried in the morning and we went to work worried and upset.
Chris took us around North House and introduced us to the team. We felt immediately at ease with the homely feel and made the decision to send Molly.
Chris was also her key worker and always gave us amazing information and detail about Mollys day and explained how she was growing in all areas .
Chris was in preschool and we just wish we found them sooner we are forever grateful.”
