About this employer
Our vision is to create a social environment where we can offer the best bits from childminding (home-from-home care and nurturing) while combining it with a more structured approach for 2-4 year olds. This gives them a pre-school experience, as well as the care we know is sometimes missing from a pre-school or nursery environment. Children can get lost in the crowd so our approach is to know every child inside out, putting Cultural Capital at the forefront of everything we do and catering for children's individual needs, based on their personality, interests and learning style.
