| My Registration allows me to care for a maximum of six children under the age of eight, of whom only three children can be aged under five. Of these only one maybe under the age of one. I may also care for 4 children over 8 as long as it does not adversely affect the care of the younger children. My normal opening hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. (unless other arrangements have been made). Evening or weekend care is not normally available, but I may accommodate in special cases. 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, homemade cooked lunch. Breakfast and evening meal may also be provided at extra cost and by prior agreement. I can cater for different dietry requirements - my youngest daughter and myself eat a gluten and dairy free diet. 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 not drive. My garden is fully enclosed with a lockable gate and has been safety approved. I have a covered sand-pit, water tray, paddling pool, large wooden playhouse, a bouncy castle, ride on cars and trikes, prams, pushchairs and child-sized chairs and table. We also make full use of a number of 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, K'nex, Brio Train Set, Puzzles, Games, Craft Materials, Drawing, Dressing Up Clothes, Educational Activities, Dolls, Cars and Garage, Dolls House and Musical Instruments. I have a wide range of Books. For younger children and babies there are Treasure Baskets, play gyms, shape sorters and many other things. 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 mud. 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 paint, draw, pretend to write, cut out and glue. We make collages and prints. We learn to use scissors and to be creative. We sing songs and make music, we listen to music from different countries, we dance and learn new songs. We make instruments and make music with them. 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, Toddler Groups and Messy Play 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 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 make 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. |
