About Me

Immediate places available.

**We currently have spaces for school aged children for before and after school only**

Hello, I'm Stacey and I've been an Ofsted Registered Childminder since 2012. My husband Stephen is my Childminding Assistant and we work together to provide great quality childcare in Droylsden.

We have 3 beautiful daughters aged 20, 15 and 14. We also have a very friendly dog (a Labrador cross) and 3 sociable cats.

We live in a semi-detached house on a quiet corner not far from Sunnyside Road. We have a huge back garden which is directly next to woodland and is very secure and private. We are non-smokers and we promote a healthy lifestyle.

We do before school drop offs and after school pick ups from Greenside Primary school in Droylsden.

Activities available:

We provide a happy home environment and we have a safe and secure garden for outdoor play.

Before & after school activities include;

• Homework - if your child wants to, they can do their homework whilst in our care. We will happily help your child with their homework if they want it

• Drawing & colouring

• Reading - children can choose from a range of books including fiction and non-fiction, available for different ages, reading levels and individual interests

• Listening to music

• Film Fridays (popular with the kids!)

• Playing Just Dance

• Playing in my garden – we have a variety of outdoor toys that children are welcome to play with. We also have giant chalks and various ‘playground games’ they can play such as May I, Mr Wolf, Simon Says, Letters in your name, Tig etc

• Playing on games consoles/electronic tablets - children can use tablets and games consoles to play games or to help do their homework if they wish to. All of the games that the children play are of educational value, supervised and only available at limited times

• Playing board games & card games

• Other games - Hide & seek, Stop the bus, One sentence stories, Grapevine, role-playing, wink murder etc

• Playing with a variety of toys

School Holidays

Children that are with us during the school holidays have the following activities available to them:

• All of the activities listed above

• Painting, making things from reusable items and modelling clay etc

• Cooking & baking - children are included in any cooking if they wish to be involved and as long as it is safe for them to do so. I also provide specific cooking & baking activities

• Celebrate special holidays with food or activities e.g. Christmas, Pancake Day, Chinese New Year, Easter, Diwali etc

• Local trips out - we visit local parks, museums, art galleries, farms, science centres, libraries, indoor large play centres and parks for playing, nature walks and picnics (weather permitting) etc

Please note: I do NOT allow access to any social media when children are in my care UNLESS it is specifically needed for educational purposes and it is ALWAYS fully supervised.

I am fully insured through Childcare.co.uk. My husband, my eldest daughter and myself have been enhanced CRB/DBS checked and received clearance from Ofsted. We are all paediatric first aid trained. All registration/insurances/clearances are available to see at any time during your visit.
