Down to Earth Daycare

ave a well stocked playroom and garden with plenty for the children to do. Children are able to take part in junk modeling, creative play, home made play dough, baking, board games, planting flowers and vegetables, making dens, playmobil & lego etc

We encourage children to look after and respect wildlife by feeding garden birds and providing natural shelters for the wildlife that already inhabit our garden. We encourage children to help us look after 'Peggy' our giant tortoise and 'Rhubarb' our friendly parrot who are both active members of our household. We provide an assortment of different breakfasts throughout the week, there is always cereal, toast and fruit on offer and then on certain days we make porridge/ pancakes/ fry up / egg & bacon butties/ croissants with milk or water to drink. Our snacks after school are things like rice crackers/ cheese and crackers/ yogurt coated fruit biscuits/ toast & butter/ fruit salad etc and water to drink. Our evening meals are curry, rice, chips, salad , poppadoms and naan /chilli, rice & nachos/ pizza/ chicken or beef burgers, salad and fries / pie, veg and potatoes/ sausages and mash and Yorkshire pudding / sweet & sour chicken, rice, noodles and prawn crackers etc and juice or water to drink. Puddings are icecream cornets, yogurts, meringues with fruit & cream, fruit flan and cream, ice lollies, chocolate fudge cake, cheesecake etc

We sometimes incorporate the after school snack with the activity and set up a chocolate fondue, milkshake or smoothie bar, icecream shop or cafe.
