We closely follow the guidelines of EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) when working with children to provide the best outcome in their development and school readiness.  Our main aim is to help children to develop Physically, Emotionally, Socially, Intellectually and Creatively.

We set clear boundaries of appropriate and inappropriate behaviour from the beginning and teach children to respect the rules, the setting, staff and each other.

We give feedback and support them to learn together and from each other.


We offer children a choice of activities and observe the way they want to do them, which helps us to learn every individual child's interests and abilities.

Working in Partnership

EYFS requirements (policies and procedures and admin systems)

EYFS requirements (policies and procedures and admin systems)

We work to form a partnership with parents/carers by encouraging their involvement with regular updates on their child’s progress.Honest and supportive communication with parents as well as a warm, caring and respectful relationship with children is an essential part in creating a strong partnership with the child’s wellbeing at its core.


Mothers and fathers are their children’s first and most important educators. That is why, as childminders, we work alongside and in partnership with parents/carers in actively contributing in a child’s health and development in order for them to reach their full potential.


  •  Transition has a different effect on every child. Letting a parent go in the morning can create anxiety in children and can be difficult for everybody concerned. We are very understanding  of that and give plenty of time for parents and children to adjust to the setting.
  • We are available and open with parents if they have any concerns or questions.
  • We ask all parents for feedback in possible areas of improvement with regards to their child, the setting and provision delivery. 
  • We can discuss possible activities that parents can do at home with kids to achieve greater results.


A designated wall area in the setting is dedicated to children’s creations and achievements.  Parents are very welcome to look through, take home, contribute and ask questions, any feedback is welcomed.

We are confident and have strong leadership skills in running the business and the ability to communicate well in writing, and face to face with parents and other professionals. From the outset we let parents know of policies and procedures and remain professional at all time: 


  • Being consistent and organised in keeping all the necessary records, following and updating policies and procedures, registrations and financial management.
  •  Working in partnership with others to challenge and support, to improve and advance, and to share expertise in order to secure a consistently high-quality provision and better outcomes. 
  • Remaining professional at all times with clear understanding of what is appropriate and inappropriate behaviour.


When working with children we must meet EYFS framework and promote:


  • Diversity, Equality and Inclusion.


We celebrate diversity and promote equality and inclusion in the setting, leading to every child feeling happy, welcome, included and comfortable to share their differences with other kids.  We use imagination and enthusiasm to involve all of the children in learning and participating, breaking the boundaries of old assumptions, creating a close and caring environment where children feel valued and respected. 


  • Self-esteem and Fulfilment of Individual Potential.


Children develop a sense of self from a very early age so it’s very important to build strong and positive self esteem in each and every one of them. We observe every child and learn their abilities, inspire them to learn and develop and offer challenges while following their lead. 


  • Safeguarding


Protecting children from maltreatment, preventing impairment to their health or development, and providing an environment in which they can have  consistent safe and effective care which helps them to grow, learn, develop and reach the best outcome. Every child wants to be heard, understood, respected and supported and as a practitioners we always remain vigilant.

In the case of looking after an ill child, we would like to bring parents attention to applying common sense as well as consideration to other children in care and their parents. As long as your child has overcame the most contagious stages of their sickness, they are not running a fever or not advised by the doctor to stay in bed/home and it is not a case of infectious disease they will be allowed to attend the setting.
