What we do

I care for younger children aged between 1-6years, the children we've cared for over the years [My husband helps too] have all remained friends with each other and us. We are open during term time and holiday time [open at 7.30am and close at 5.30pm,] its a place where children and parents are treated with respect, children grow in confidence and ability.

Who do we support

The access to my setting has three steps going down to the path, the steps/doorway are wide enough for a pushchair to access the premises easily. Although I don't currently have any children with additional needs I have experience in caring for children with disabilities i.e. family member has cystic fibrosis, another is a wheelchair user, I would be happy to discuss your child's needs and if possible I would attend training .
