My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm Sophie Hutchings. I live in Caerphilly with my husband, 3 children (17, 5 and 3) and our loving pet Labrador.
Within my setting I aim to provide a safe, secure, happy and nurturing environment in which the children with learn, grow and develop through a range of play opportunities. I have a range of toys and activities and children have access to a secure back garden. My setting is close to two local parks (one within walking distance). I have a full driving license which allows me to be able to travel with children to take them to toddler/playgroups and to have fun days out!
I am a non-Welsh speaking setting but do use some Welsh words and phrases that children will learn and use in school. I provide opportunities for all children to be active learners and to be stimulated to learn through discovery, enjoyment, free play.
