✨ Upcoming Childcare Vacancy ✨

From January, I will have a space available for a new child to join my cosy home-based setting on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

As a degree-qualified Early Years specialist, I offer a nurturing, child-centred environment where everyone receives individual care and attention to support their holistic development.

Funded places are accepted.

If you’re interested or would like more information, please feel free to drop me a message, I’d be happy to answer any questions. 😁

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter ❤

Here are the Easter cards the children finished last week.

A few snaps of some of our experiences over the last couple of weeks....

We have welcomed a new friend to the setting on Mondays, who we have enjoyed getting to know whilst he has been exploring all of the wonderful resources we have available.
The older children have been playing games that encourage turn taking, this can be a challenge on its own as learning to surpress those inhibitions is something that can take time. We have also had lots of fun developing social skills meeting new people at the local playgroups 😀
