About Me

About Childsplay Childcare:

My name is Cassy and I run Childsplay Childcare from 115 Churchway in Haddenham, where I live with my husband Ryan and 3 children: Lyla (13), Sebi (11) and Luca (3).

Opening hours:
Monday-Thursday: 7.30am-4.30pm

I work alongside assistants who I have handpicked to enrich the experience for the children attending.

The setting:

I provide a breakfast and after school club for the village schools. I have the choice of a quad/triple/double buggy and baby carrier (that carries right up to preschool age) so there’s always a travel option to suit your child. This also provides an opportunity for children to mix with all ages up to 11 years old.

Throughout the school day we have a maximum of 3 under 5s per adult and ages range from 6 months to nearly 5.

I pride myself on providing a child led, home from home environment where the toys in the playroom and garden are always accessible and children have free rein to choose what activities interest them the most.

I aim to gently encourage children to learn to play well together whilst respecting each other’s boundaries and belongings. I don’t believe in punishment or raising my voice.

A typical day at Childsplay Childcare would likely be:
7.30-8am: breakfast (cereals/weetabix/porridge)
8.30am: walk to school, stopping at HCJS first then down to HSM.
9.30-11: local playgroup (drink and snack time included)
11.30-12: lunch (our favourites are currently pasta bake, cottage pie, pizza pinwheels, cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches)
12: nap time in buggy or travel cot for as long as needed (if applicable) followed by child led play time
3.15pm: Walk to HCJS school to pickup.
3.30-4.30pm: Colouring, stories and nursery rhymes until parents collect.

Payments:

I charge £65 per day. Childcare vouchers and tax free childcare payments are accepted.

I also provide free childcare in line with the government eligibility requirements. Feel free to ask for more info.

I invoice in advance, around the middle of the month to give plenty of time for payment which is due on the last day of each month.

All food (breakfast, lunch and snacks), nappies and wipes are provided. I ask you to provide spare clothes, baby milk (if applicable) and weather appropriate outdoor clothes.

There is no charge when the setting is closed for annual leave or sickness but bank holidays are charged in full.

The setting is not open on bank holidays and I will take a maximum of 20 days annual leave, giving a minimum of 4 weeks notice (although I usually try to give a few months!). 2 of my assistants are also currently registering with Ofsted as childminders so that the setting can sometimes remain open during my annual leave.
