I work from my home in culcheth which has a secure walled garden and large purpose built modern garden room.
The children have individual rooms for day time naps to ensure they are well rested and able to stay in a good routine.

We do daily activities with learning opportunities tailored to each child’s needs in a mixed age group setting giving children the chance to learn from each other which promotes confidence, empathy and good social skills.

Weekly community involvement attending playgroups, libraries, parks & farms.

Daily outdoor activities in an all weather area.

Every child is unique and therefore so should be their education.

There is a minimum 12 years in a classroom and sitting at a desk why start it any sooner than you need it to be. Let them be little.

Current Approximate childcare costs after funding.
3 days all year childcare £160 per month (actual cost £128 if using tax free childcare)
4 days all year childcare £410 per month (actual cost £377 if using tax free childcare)

Do any of my friends have a baby/toddler back pack carrier I could use over the half term?

Very proud to say that on the 11th October 2023 I’ve was again graded GOOD by ofsted.
A childminder inspection is identical to a nursery or preschool.
As a professional childminder your child gets to spend everyday with a person who knows them inside out and puts their individual needs and welfare as a top priority.

From April 2024 there will be childcare funding for all 2 year olds of working parents. Secure your childcare place now.

Below is a guide to funded childcare plans for the next few years.

Feels like the first day of Autumn weather so a good excuse to visit a play centre.

14/09/2023

15 hours funded childcare for children aged 2 from April 2024 - have you secured a place for your child?

Do you want a warm home from home environment where your child can grow at their own pace?

Childminders are inspected by Ofsted just the same as nurseries and preschools. We deliver the same Early years Development and Education but in a much smaller group setting.
I can give much more one to one attention and it’s always the same person who will look after your child.

Childminders have the freedom to go out and about exploring, going to the library and museums regularly not just a once a year trip.

I have 1 vacancy available at the moment - flexible days to suit your needs.
