Quality home-based Childcare

Based in Welwyn Garden City

After a busy day at school, it is important for any child to be in a setting where he or she can relax and feel at home.

I offer a flexible range of activities. I plan and prepare art & craft ideas every day, which are suitable for various age groups.

After school (weather permitting) we go to the park, less than a minutes walk away or children can play in the garden.

I provide a wholesome nutritious tea and then encourage children to rest or read their homework books.

After school care is classed as part time and is contracted regular hours. After school care must be for a minimum of 3 hours a day and 4 days a week.
As a parent, there are various childcare options available to you. Here your child will be able to make friends whilst learning through play and being in a warm homely environment.

The children's daily routines from home are continued throughout their time here. Familiar routines and boundaries will help each child to feel comfortable and settled within their environment.

Your child will develop their self-esteem, confidence, independence and interest in learning. In between meal times there are fun opportunities for the children to participate in outdoor play, bikes, sandpit, painting, water-play, messy play, books, puzzles, walks or trips within our community.

These activities are all intended to increase our children's social, exploratory, physical and intellectual development. It is also important for young children to begin to develop the skills necessary for appropriate turn-taking, sharing and offering of toys and play-space.

I will also share a diary for your child, to record any useful information.

Day Care can be Full or Part Time.

DOCUMENTATION

I am required by law to keep certain documentation and details about the children in my care.  Each child’s records are reviewed and updated regularly. These records remain, at all times, confidential and are kept in a secure place.  If parents wish to see their child’s records at any time, they are within their rights to do so.  
If you require childcare at irregular intervals or short-notice (for example emergency care, training day or family event) then you can make a booking by contacting me. As much notice as possible would be helpful but (subject to availability) I can accept bookings right up to the night or morning before you actually need care.

Alternatively, if you work irregular shift patterns, then (subject to availability) you can roster child-care in advance.

All regular care (week after week), whether set days or irregular patterned is classed as Full/Part Time Care (depending on hours) and is subject to a retainer fee if care is not needed during school holidays or when Parent/Child holidays are taken. Any irregular or short emergency care is not subject to these fees. Please refer to Fees and Hours.

Whatever days your child is here whether regular or not they are always made to feel at home and enjoy being included with everyone and everything that is going on.
To ensure continuity of care, I am also open throughout the school holidays. This is a time for relaxing and having fun so your child will be able to choose from a range of activities on offer.

If you feel your child would enjoy group activities but finds the larger type of holiday camps too daunting then they will certainly feel more at home here.

There are planned Art & Craft activities, such as those on offer at my after school sessions, and we also create themed projects to add extra interest.
We have lots of fun in the garden with ball games, hand/foot painting, sand pit and play area etc.

To help your child to feel "part of the family", we also have picnics and special days out to places of interest.

Holiday Care can be Full or Part Time and can be booked in advance.

If your child does not require Holiday Care a retainer of half normal fee still applies to keep your child's place open. This applies to Full Time, Part Time and Before and After School Care places.

Holiday Care is available to all children, including children who do not require any other care throughout the year. Priority is given to children already in my setting.
