I have a comprehensive range of toys and equipment to suit all needs and ages and stage of development to include; construction toys, Lego, k’nex, puzzles, craft materials, art, drawing, home corner / role play toys, farm, garage, dolls, games, dressing up, educational activities, musical instruments and worksheets for the older child.

Treasure baskets designed for the non-crawling baby, play gym and shape sorter, pop up toys and many others.

Outdoor Activities

I have a large safe grassed garden, totally enclosed, with a covered sand pit, water tray, play tunnel, football goal, paddling pool, trampoline, little tykes house, bikes, trucks, prams, pushchairs, hoops, skittles, boules and children’s chairs and tables.

A child’s day will include a structured activity, crafts, cutting and sticking, painting, corn silk, dough, cooking, storytime, singing and music. Time is also set aside for physical play and free play, with a range of toys to stimulate the imagination, challenge the child intellectually and encourage independence in learning.

Children have access to all the toys and equipment themselves. They are encouraged to select for themselves and put away when finished or wanting to move onto something new.

Outings and Trips

I believe in healthy living, so unless the weather is particularly inclement (puddle jumping is fun!) we will be outside for some part of the day. (We will normally do a school or nursery run) We visit the park, the garden centre, the weekly market, the farm and fresh fish shop, go swimming, visit adventure world or a toddler group. During school holidays we make trips to the zoo, wildfowl park, the farm, museums, places of local interest and have picnics.

I have a Mercedes 7 seater, so all children are securely seated in appropriate restraints. I am a member of the AA and carry a mobile phone at all times. I have Class 1 insurance for business use for my car.
