I offer all children the freedom to play, have fun and learn in a homely, healthy, caring environment. They have safe and secure outdoor access all year round, home cooked meals, regular trips to local parks and woodland, picnics, a large range of toys for all ages and interests, cooking, arts & crafts, water & sand play, letters and sounds phase 1 and regular trips to the library and toddler/baby groups including Blandford gymnastics club.

I offer flexible childcare and aim to make arrangements as stress free as possible by providing all food, snacks, nappies, wipes, sun cream and drinks inclusive in the hourly rate.
