About the childcare provider
Description
I have 30 years experience in childcare and education. My aim is to provide your child/ren with a comfortable home from home environment. I am keen to promote a forest school curriculum with lots of outdoor pursuits and exploration. My family keep horses in livery at a nearby farm which I visit regularly with the children, here they can learn about the horses and other farm animals whilst enjoying the beautiful farmyard and its surrounding countryside. I also make regular visits to the local woods and play parks. Indoors I have an extensive range of toys and learning equipment helping to promote your child/ren's learning and development, with a wide range of daily activities including arts and crafts. I care for children from birth to 5 years, activities are planned in accordance to each individual child's age and developmental stage. Of paramount importance to me is the happiness of your child/ren, I enjoy my work immensely and find it very satisfying and rewarding.
I accept the free government EYE hours for children from 9 months to 4 yrs , there are no additional costs, the free hours are totally free, any contracted hours on top of the free government hours are charged at £7.50 per hour
