Philosophy: I aim to offer a safe, stimulating, enjoyable and above all caring environment for all the children in my care. I will ensure that my practice will enable children to develop positive attitudes to differences of race, culture, gender and ability. Each child will be treated as an individual and with equal concern and will be encouraged to treat others with respect. I will treat each child like a member of the family, but I understand that you are the most important people in your child's life and I will respect that at all times.

School drop off/Pick up: Wyndham Park Nursery, Manthorpe Pre-school, Cliffedale primary school.

Fees: £3.20 per hour. There is an additional charge for meals depending on the age and requirements of the child.

Further Information: I live on the Manthorpe Estate with my husband and 2 boys, aged 17 and 19. I have a well stocked toyroom specifically for the minded children and a large garden for outdoor play. We also go for regular walks (daily, weather permitting) and outings. I have a TV, DVD player, Playstation (with age appropriate games) and CD player. We spend a lot of time on craft activities and learn about different festivals and special days throughout the year, such as Chinese New Year, Easter and Christmas. We also have regular cookery sessions when we make a variety of foods.
