Our Services

Full Day Care

I offer comprehensive full-day care to support working parents/carers and ensure children receive a structured and nurturing environment from morning until evening. Our core hours are from 9:00am to 6:00pm. This includes a balanced blend of educational activities, free play, and rest periods. I also work on weekends, so please feel free to ask me for more information.

Overnight Care

For parents/carers who need additional support during nighttime hours, I provide overnight care. Children will enjoy a calming evening routine, followed by a comfortable and safe sleeping environment with fresh linen provided, ensuring they wake up refreshed and ready for the next day.

Fees & Funding

Feel free to check out my price list for all the fee details! Let me know if you have any questions.

There are several government schemes available to help parents and caregivers with the cost of childcare. My childcare services are registered to provide both government-funded childcare (15 and 30 hours) and Tax-Free Childcare for eligible parents and caregivers. Additionally, I accept various voucher schemes and the Childcare Grant Payment Service. These registrations enable eligible families to access financial support for their childcare expenses.A full list of these can be found by viewing the Government’s own childcare information website www.childcarechoices.gov.uk. We recommend all parents and carers do this.

Minimum Two Days per Week

To promote continuity and consistency in your child’s development, we require a minimum attendance of two days per week. This helps children establish a routine and fully benefit from our educational programs and activities.

Waiting List

We encourage parents and caregivers to contact us as soon as possible due to limited availability to avoid disappointment. If we cannot meet your needs at this time, we would be happy to add you to our waiting list, which is free to join.
