Welcome to Ten Acre Early Education & Care, founded by Jemma O’Brien, an Early Years Teacher with over 20 years’ experience working with young children and families.

Ten Acre offers a calm, nature-inspired approach to early childhood, supporting children, parents and educators through childcare, home education support, tutoring and professional training.

My work is inspired by:

• Nature-based learning

• Hygge in the Early Years / The Curiosity Approach

• Nurturing small group environments

How I can help:

Childminding/Nannying

A small, home-based setting for children aged 2/3+ to 8 years old offering warm, nurturing childcare and early education inspired by nature and curiosity-led learning. Ten Acre also offers a flexible hybrid nannying option.

Tutoring
