My Home

In the house:

My home is a detached house situated just off  Fish Lane on a dead end road, traffic is very rare. We have a large kitchen dinning room with a stone floor great for painting and mess play which opens out onto a large secure garden.

The Children have use of a cosy and comfortable  large lounge with specific large cosy cushions to sit on, this will be used for daily story time/quiet area for the children  to use and at other times to enjoy looking at the books at their own  leisure. Also the selected indoor toys will be displayed for them to choose what to play with. These toys will be rotated every other day to stimulate and learn from.

I have a separate sleep room upstairs with a baby monitors for constant supervision, as well as frequent sight visits, this room contains a travel cot. Bedding is regular washed and changed.

All meals will be sat down at the dinning table with the children, I feel that it's a very sociable time and encourage independent eating, meals are not rushed.


We have a nappy changing facility within my home which will be used to change each child as required, we do ask that each time your child  attends  that you provide nappies and wipes for your child & any creams that you may use.

I hoover & wash the floors when your child has gone home and also wipe over & bleach the downstairs loo, these are done daily to ensure that they come to a clean and safe environment.

In the Garden:

We have a large safe fully enclosed rear garden which comprises  solely of patio area and grass. As we intend to spend as much time in the garden as possible (weather permitting) there are many lovely  toys for the children to play with, Wendy house, ride on toys,  slides, seesaws, swings, climbing box with slide, trampolines, trikes, doll prams and balls with football goals.children will have access to the garden throughout  the day at their leisure to help us with this there will be a box of  Wellington boots and waterproofs for them to use on wet days. (supplied by parents).

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.
