As a working mother looking for nursery care for my own small child, I quickly became aware of how fussy I had become and wanted the best, as we all do for our children.

I therefore decided to gain qualifications in childcare and open my own unique approach to day care.
I do believe that the pre school years are  the most valuable & import learning foundations that you can build on as they grow. You can make the most influence on how a child learns and absorbs information by having fun experiences, showing them first hand and most of all for them to be happy and full of laughs.

Qualifications...
  • Successfully completed my Early Years Education for Children Diploma
  • Recently been approved by OFSTED 
  • CRB checked
  • Paediatric first aid
The following are members of my family.

It is a requirement by OFSTED for all members over the age of 16 to be CRB checked, these are available to see upon request.

Mr Dale Trotman – Partner

Master Deven  – Son aged 2 years

Zeus – Black cat

Zeus lives in the house and garden. Zeus is kept up to date with his vaccinations, a record of which can be seen upon request.

Zeus has a fantastic temperament but very shy unless he knows you, I will endeavour to introduce them slowly to Zeus in order for them to build up their trust and promote a healthy and safe relationship.

The garden areas will be checked first before the children go out to play. To ensure there is no mess. All mess is put in a bag and straight into the outside bins. Which are located outside the garden area.

Pets are an excellent way of promoting a sense of responsibility within children. Children will be encouraged to be involved with Zeus’s care and to be aware of the needs of others.
