Sarah Rigby - Cottontail Childcare

Overview

Hello, I'm Sarah at Cotton-Tail Childcare. Mother to four children I have over 15 years of experience. I have a true love and passion for childcare wooden toys and loose parts.

I am fully DBS checked with my own car and driving licence, which is clear from any convictions or driving offences.

Our week consists of;

*Messy play *Baking
*Rhyme time *Forest school
*Soft play *Farm trips
*Playgroups *Parks
*Picnics * Woodland walks
*Feeding the ducks *Library
*Arts and crafts
Lots of social interaction!

These activities are heaps of fun and allow the children to play and make friends outside of my setting. We plan play-dates and outings with other childminders in the area, allowing the children to socialise on a wider scale. We are a fun-loving family who like to make the most of a day. This could be reading, painting, feeding animals, playing games, and going to the park... the list is endless

We have a separate playroom for the children to enjoy filled with open play shelves allowing the children to pick their own toys, role play kitchen for cooking up a storm, curiosity corner filled with trinkets for the children to explore without fear of breakages, play couch for building on a larger scale, tri climb for the thrill seekers, books for the book worms like me, small world for big imaginations and so much more, there's never a dull moment. I love all things wooden and open-ended and watching the children thrive in a child lead environment! The children have constant access to arts, crafts, and mark making tools. We utilize every space we have through messy play, role play, and creative thinking.
