Montessori based and run by Award winning early childhood educator, Vanessa Shaw, who has nurtured and educated since 2003. I welcome you to my page!
Nature Kids Family Day Care is a warm, nurturing, educational and fun home based child care service. I'd like to share the wonders of early childhood with you through my daily experiences with children of all ages. I hope this page can provide some interesting resources and ideas for parents and educators alike. I will also update any vacancies for you and to share with others who may be looking for a Family Day Care option for the care of their child or children.

The damper we made recently was absolutely delicious! The children ate it warm from the oven and chose from a selection of spreads to put on top. Yum!
This was an extension of play dough making which we had done the day before.

Learning about fire safety is part of early childhood education. This week the children practiced “Stop. Drop. Roll”, listened to the sound of a smoke alarm, watched an educational video about fire safety and painted a red fire engine.
In FDC we have practiced procedures in case of fire or emergency, and are well equipped and trained to keep every child safe!

Observing and Linking children’s interests in childcare:
One of the little ones has shown an interest in flowers, so I bought some pretty bouquets on the weekend and recycled some packing foam to create a flower garden indoors. All the children have really enjoyed picking them and planting them, making bunches and counting them and giving them to each other in gestures of friendship and sharing 💕

It’s Sun Smart time of the year again. The wind has been making it a bit tricky to keep hats on! But for two of my little people it made for the best fun running and chasing after them and laughing each time the wind blew them off 😆
