Andrea Darlington

I am an OFSTED registered, and inclusive childminder. I have 3 grown up children of my own

I offer a fun, healthy, learning environment for all the children in my care, with the emphasis being on play based learning. We love to get outdoors, and have a large covered area in the garden, and a garden room which assist in offering year round outdoor play. It is fully equipped with toys specifically chosen for their enriching abilities that the children are very welcome to take into the garden to support their play and learning. We have a playroom indoors which has a similar range of toys designed for playing with indoors. We have resources appropriate for all age groups.

We have a bright and well stocked garden that the children will take a large part in working. With flowers, small world and vegetables pots, and a couple of greenhouses for the more delicate plants. There are bird feeders, a worm farm and wild animal habitats to take care of too.

We enjoy a music and expressive arts based week here, with much of our day focussed in these areas. We also enjoy a lot of science and nature investigations.

We have currently have 2 cats living here, the children are invited to help care for them both.

The children eat well here, with good quality, healthy food served daily. The children also have access to some cooking and baking activities.

The older children can access some tech after school and during the holidays, although rules must be followed for this privilege. We like to get out and about when possible, to the different local amenities.

Please message me for any more information or a visit.
