Increase in their self belief, confidence & learning capacity
As a mother myself I appreciate the pressures of returning to work and the anxieties of parents having their children attend a childcare setting and being away from them. With this in mind, my approach to child care is both flexible, family friendly and adaptable. I hope this website will answer some of your questions but should you want to discuss anything further, please contact me and I will do everything I can to help.
I had been a childminder for ten years before I opened Didsbury Childminding and so my approach to child care is to involve all the children in any activity, taking into consideration their age and development at all times.
Regular development checks so you can monitor the progress
Within the nursery we make and record regular development checks so you can monitor the progress of your child during their stay within the setting. We do this via an online system which acts as a live update system straight to your phone, via an app called babysdays Our experience and training enables us to provide a fun and educational experience for all ages of children in our care.
Should you choose for your child to have their meals here, all meals are home cooked by our in-house chef using products that are fresh and non-processed. We encourage the children to be involved in the preparation of food and to be as independent as possible by encouraging them to help set up for their mealtimes.
Conveniently located in East Didsbury
We are conveniently located in East Didsbury (M20) in South Manchester close to the M60 / M56 motorway networks.
Proud & Strong community focus
I always want to apply the fundamental principles that I have developed over the last 10+ years whilst caring for children in my own home. In doing this, I can continue to use all the external groups that attended my home and the children spend a considerable time out and about in the local area.
We have created lots of different activities / areas for the children to explore. Feel free to give me a call and arrange a visit should you want to see it for yourselves.
All teachers of these sessions are fully qualified and DBS checked
As well as attending toddler groups, libraries and other local amenities We also have external groups that attend the setting, these are: Yoga, Bob Tales story telling, jo jo's music. We also have weekly Spanish lessons, forest school sessions in our local park (fletcher moss) and weekly football sessions led by Manchester City in the community. All teachers of these sessions are fully qualified and DBS checked.
During the school holidays We love taking the children we care for on trips out to experience different things. We always ensure that the activities the children undertake are fully risk assessed and we obtain parental consent prior to taking the children to any trips / activities.
As part of a critical evaluation of the service we provide, we recently created an anonymised electronic survey which was distributed to all of the parents of children we care for. We're really pleased to say that all of them are absolutely satisfied with the care we provide, and all would recommend us to provide childcare services nd you can see their comments on our testimonial page.
