About me
My Registration allows me to care for a maximum of 6 children under the age of eight, of whom only three children can be aged under five. I may also care for 4 children over 8 as long as it does not adversely affect the care of the younger children. I provide a healthy snack. For children attending during the week or in school holidays, parents must provide lunch. My home is child-orientated with safety gates, plug covers, etc., and meets OFSTED and Fire Services regulations. It is a non-smoking household. I do drive and hold business-class car insurance. My garden is fully enclosed with a lockable gate and has been safety-approved. I have a swing, slides, and a purpose-built tree house (without a tree) on 2 levels, ride-on cars and trikes, prams, pushchairs, and child-sized chairs and tables. We also make full use of several parks and play areas that are close by. There are many play and learning activities to suit all needs, ages, and stages of development for both indoor and outdoor play. These include Lego, Jenga blocks, Puzzles, Games, Craft Materials, Drawing, Meccano, Dressing Up Clothes, Educational Activities, Dolls, Cars and Garage and Musical Instruments. I have a wide range of Books. For younger children and babies there are play gyms, shape sorters, and many other things. Whilst your child is here we do so many things: We play with Play-Doh, Clay, and with sand and water. We get messy with cornflour and water, Gloop, shaving foam, and mud. We paint, draw, pretend to write, cut out, and glue. We make collages and prints. We learn to use scissors and to be creative. always taking advantage of the seasons and special times, Christmas, Easter, etc sing songs, listening to music from different countries, dancing and learning 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 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 mark Birthdays and Festivals from around the world. We learn about eating healthy food and keeping our bodies, teeth, and gums healthy. We learn about hygiene and how to wash our hands after using the toilet and before touching food. We play outside. We run and jump and climb and ride and explore. We grow things in the garden and learn how to care for them, we dig and find all kinds of animals and insects in the garden. We use our imaginations and pretend. We learn that after we have done all this our bodies will need a rest to recover! Please Contact Me to discuss your childcare needs further and to arrange a visit. About me
