My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Kate Grundy and I live in Ashton with my husband and two daughters aged 18 & 13.
Every child is welcome in my home. I offer a friendly, safe and secure home from home environment where your child can learn through play. Your child will be encouraged to develop and reach their full potential through a variety of activities and outings.
I live near a canal and Ashton park where we regularly visit to feed ducks and explore outdoor spaces. We attend local playgroups where your child will be able to develop their social skills. We also enjoy lots of messy play indoors and out, including painting, play dough and water play.
I promote healthy eating and lifestyles. All meals provided will be home cooked and nutritionally balanced.
