About us

Hello, I’m Laura Hanson the Business Owner, Area Manager and lead Safeguarding officer of Little Stars Childcare.

Little Stars first began in January 2014 as a child-minding setting from my home in Cheddleton Staffordshire.

My aim was to be a full time mother and continue to do the job I love so much.  As a first time parent back in 2013, I wished to combine my knowledge, experience and qualifications in childcare into a setting that provides a homely experience for both the child and parent. I Now have three children and my youngest child attends Little Stars Cheddleton. I’ve been working in childcare for over 20 years I have various qualifications including a Level 6 BA Hons degree in Education, Level 5 foundation degree in Early Years, Level 3 BTEC in Management, Safeguarding Lead level 3, Paediatric First Aid and much more.

The once “Little” business soon grew to where we are today. The opening of our first Nursery setting in Cheddleton began in May 2019 after a seven month renovation to ensure the setting was well equipped and provided the home from home feel. September 2021 saw the opening of Little Stars Leek and the growth of the Little Stars Staffing team.

I am very proud of how far Little Stars has come and all we have achieved.
