House Martins Children's Day Care CentreQuality Care6
St Michael Street Below is a partial extract from the brochure which is available
in full in hard copy by calling in to the House. House Martins Childrens Day Care Centre is a special House established in May 1999 and centred around children. The house is staffed by caring professionals who are totally committed to the well-being of each and every child within our care. Each part of the House has been carefully planned to cater for each age group of children; at House Martins we aim to meet every child's needs. Our full-day care package will suit most working parents; 8am - 5:30pm. Children on this package will be provided with breakfast, if needed then quality care throughout the day with snacks and home cooked meals. Your child will have a fun-packed day at House Martins, carefully planned and thought out by qualified, caring professionals. We at House Martins aim to strike a balance between emotional, social, intellectual and physical development to maximise the opportunity for a child to reach his/her full potential. The House rooms are light and airy and equipped to cater for different ages with a range of activities. Downstairs we have a fully equipped, self-contained baby unit which we call "The Nest", where babies are able to be stimulated in a cosy baby room with attentive staff. Toddlers (1-2) have a large airy play area in our barn, which was totally refurbished in June 2003. Our "Hatchlings" have lots of play equipment, including soft play, sand and water tray, painting activities and various other equipment. This area also includes both adult and children's seating to enable children to sit and read or have a cuddle from our caring qualified staff. Our "Hatchlings" follow the house topics on a smaller scale and have a folder to take home. Every child who attends House Martins has a daily record sheet, a copy of which you will see at the end of this page. The record sheet will help you share your child's day and will be a nice keepsake for when your child grows up and will help them to remember their all important childhood. In order to cater for all ages, we have restructured our upstairs area into four main play areas - our newly-opened library and IT suite, our large airy activity room with water, sand, paint and various craft activities, a role play room where children can play and make believe in a room full of role play (watched by our staff through a video link). We also have another large airy room which consists of a mark making table and various educational table top and floor toys. These rooms are used on a rota basis in small groups according to age and ability. The groups are as follows:- Two to two and a half years
are the "Starlings" These small groups enable the children to maximise their learning through play. All activities are planned to OFSTED standards. Planning copies and room rotas are always available to parents. These are displayed on a notice board at the top of the stairs. We are now part of the Early Years Partnership, so we can offer our parents DFE funding which usually starts the term after your childs third birthday. Three year old funding equates to five two and a half hour sessions in any given setting. We do have children who attend more than one setting, in which case parents decide how to divide their funding. Please also remember that sessions at House Martins are longer than two and a half hours so parents will have fees to pay alongside their funding. House Martins children enjoy
a fun-packed and stimulating day. Whenever I am at House Martins *** *** *** *** Baby Room - The Nest Our lunch time cook is owner/partner,
