Why us??

We get a lot of people asking 'what makes your setting unique'? 'Why do people choose you'?

We are unique - every childminder is unique, each of us have our own 'special' way in which we bring the children learning to life.

We have always and still remain 7 years later head strong in our ethos that the children need freedom to explore, learn, develop and adjust their skill set through mess, play and love.

We promote the rules and boundaries that keep the children safe, secure and happy - and in return we offer freedom, choices and ideas that enrich their early learning - of course most of which is following their lead and joining in their world!

We love that our parents are happy, we love even more that the children are happy, we love that the children can be themselves!

Want to spend all day looking for pirate treasure in the water tray? - we will provide 3 changes of clothes...

Want to slide down hills on your bottom while racing your friends? - we will provide you the area, the safety, and of course the change of clothes!

Want to play board games? - we will happily teach the children that it's ok to lose....because we are totally going to try win - encouraging those important skills for school...and the determination to succeed and try again!

We totally get we might not be for everyone - that depends if you want to take home 3 bags of washing each night - but when we get people asking to come back each year we know that we are doing a good job 😍

Happy Tuesdays!

The children had a wonderful time The Plough Inn & Fun Farm - the smaller children's area was perfect for them to work off some energy, explore safety and jump onto the soft mats carefully.

The cost was reasonable for us to be able to take all the children and we love that they offer parents support as we all forget items sometimes - I have put up a photo incase anyone needed the prices.

The play area was lovely and quiet having opened at 9am so perfect for those parents who get woken up at the crack of dawn!

Happy holidays!

🌲 Forest day 🌲

Last time the heat wave caught us off guard...not today! - we were ready to go hide!

We packed up our rockets, our pens and paper, our scavenger hunt items and headed for the forest.

The children played for hours and we will have lots of dirty baths tonight 💦

They learnt how to print leaves, they learnt what happens when you aim a rocket up rather than across (it hits the trees!) They scaled the trails and carefully slid back down!

Happy Thursdays.

🌲 "Look buddy I know you don't like walking but she says we are going to the forest today, I know it will be fun when we get there!, I've got you ok??" 🌲

I do wonder sometimes what the children say to each other in their own little words 🤣

The children had the best day out at Playdale Farm Park - we are very thankful to have such amazing places on our doorstep.

And our children were amazing - we are so very very proud of them.

Today we took the children to mine and Hannahs old 'playground' which for Eastfield people is 'the dell'...trying to explain to the children how this overgrown grass used to be where we could slide down was hard for them to understand!

We explored the deep deep grass, we listened to the crickets and the birds and we found an area that was cut so the children of course used this to run up....and of course roll back down!!

We needed to stop at the park on the way back as a treat for walking so well.
