I offer both full and part time care, before and after school care, term time only or holidays only and can also cater for shift workers.
I provide 2 healthy snacks and a healthy lunch. Breakfast and a cooked evening meal may also be provided at extra cost and by prior agreement.

My home is child orientated with safety gates, plug covers etc. and meets OFSTED regulations. It is a
non-smoking household. We currently live in a first floor with a community garden, we make full use of a number of parks and play areas that are close by. These outings are usually daily to ensure the children are getting plenty of fresh air and excercise.
Whilst your child is here we do so many things: We play with Playdough, Clay and with sand and water. We get messy with cornflour and water, Gloop, shaving foam and paint.
We look at books. We learn about different people and cultures. We learn to recognise letters and numbers and words. We copy the stories in our play and best of all we love to cuddle up together and listen to stories.
We sing songs and make music, we listen to music from different countries, we dance and learn new songs.
We make friends and learn about sharing, taking turns and respecting people, we learn to mix with children who may be older or younger than us. We learn about the rules and how to say "Sorry" if we upset someone.
We go to the Parks and local Play Centre. We visit the Library and Toddler Groups. We find out about our local environment and to be safe when we cross the roads. We go on Nature Walks and learn about the seasons.
We go to the shops to buy fresh vegetables for our lunch which we can help to prepare. We share meals together and try foods from different cultures. We celebrate Birthdays and Festivals from around the world. We learn about eating healthy food and keeping our bodies healthy. We learn about hygiene and how to wash our hands after using the toilet and before touching food.
We learn that after we have done all this our bodies will need a rest to recover!
