Parenting Explorers | Expert Early Years and Parenting Support

hero-image-children

It’s lovely to meet you.

Parenting Explorers was created with the ethos in mind that parents are the experts in their own children. But I am here to be your mindful guide, support and assist you through your pregnancy and parenting journey for your mental well-being, sleep needs, forest school inspired early learning, building secure attachments and enabling positive behaviour.

Children love to explore the world around them and have an inherent need to wonder, ask questions and seek to find answers in their experiences. So here at Parenting Explorers we let nurture and nature do the teaching; to help improve sleep, promote positive behaviour through secure connections and inspire little and big minds; with a little help from us.

“Contacting Lizzie was the best thing I have done in a long time! From our very first conversation I felt understood, validated and held. Lizzie went to great lengths to make sure she had a really rounded picture of our family and the detailed ideas she suggested felt manageable and absolutely fitted with the way we are trying to parent. Lizzie offered a safe space to be curious about what was going on for all of the family and through this process I have a stronger idea about what helps. So, I feel more confident in the way that I am supporting my daughter. Significant changes are happening in terms of my little ones sleep and I know it’s all being done in a way that’s championing connection and care. ”

About me.

I’m Lizzie Noble, an early years, gentle holistic sleep and parenting coach. With over 25 years’ experience of working in early years and child development. My career has spanned a number of early years and parenting sectors from early educator, behaviour support, consultancy and holistic sleep coach. After having my own daughter I then started my own Outstanding forest childcare setting.

I unlocked my passion and support for evidence based responsive sleep after my own daughter struggled heavily with sleep, colic and sensory needs and it began to affect all corners of our lives.

I knew I needed an attachment-based way to help my family, so I trained with the Holistic Sleep Coaching program and developed ‘Parenting Explorers’ to help other families with gentle sleep, behaviour, child development and attachment with a focus on nature. I am also a Beyond Birth Mental Wellbeing Practitioner supporting parents with their mental health practices pre and postnatally.

I am so passionate about supporting families through pregnancy and beyond, and I also provide bespoke training and development to professionals in the early years sector and I volunteers for a parenting support group.

But my most challenging and rewarding job is mum to my dynamic 7-year-old and enjoying the huge adventures that brings every day

My drive is to ensure all children can access quality early education, all parents are supported with mindful responsive parenting without judgement and engaging children and families in the wonders of the natural world. I support families locally in my hometown of Leigh-on-Sea in Essex, Nationally across the UK and worldwide virtually.
