About Me
Spaces available currently for ages 1 to 5, term time only and some limited all year spaces.
Fully funded available.
Taking enquiries for September 2025.
Im Lizzie, and I offer a cosy, home from home setting where your little ones can learn without knowing it. I am part of the Forest Childcare Association, which focus' on ensuring that the little ones get lots of opportunities to explore outside in nature as much as possible.
Our days follow the little ones interests and some of the things we get up to include playgroups, visiting the library, local nature walks, going to Wheelgate, teddy bear picnics, lots of crafts and messy play, singing, yoga and reading.
I follow the danish principles of Hygge within the setting which focus’s on warmth, security and wellbeing, allowing a child to follow their current needs and interests in order to learn and grow with confidence. I also follow the curiosity approach, and will be studying for my accreditation in 2025.
In our home is myself, my husband, our three girls 7,5&3, Dylan the very old, very soft dog, Douglas the cat then Luna and Pepper the two kittens. Our pets all love kids and the children are all taught to be gentle with them.
