My Summary
About Me
We are 2 cousins that work together in the same setting. We offer a home from home environment with lots of activities and outings. We work towards the EYFS work with parents to support the development of the children.
Tara has 4 children and married for 24 years runs the setting with Steph from her house. It has been adapted through the years to make good use of the space to provide the children with plenty of activities throughout the day including an outdoor covered shelter to let the children still enjoy outdoor time in all weathers and also a newly refurbished kitchen area to enjoy meals but also baking and craft activities in small or larger groups.
Steph has always wanted to work in childcare since she was a child herself. Wanting to make a difference and help children learn and grow to the best of their abilities. She has always been dedicated to her job role and enjoys finding new ways of helping the children reach their goals.
Together we provide a loving, caring environment that the children can express themselves freely and learn and interact while building strong happy relationships with their friends.
Please feel free to contact us for any further information.
