I am based in Greenhill, Herne Bay, and can offer full time, part time and after school vacancies from birth to eleven years old, in a home-from-home family setting. I offer free education for two, three and four year olds, based on a core offer of 570 hours universal or 1140 hours with extended for three to four years olds. This offer is 15/30 hours of free childcare per week (weeks of funding vary per term, between 8 and 5, and can be flexible. There is no minimum number of hours taken per day, and if parents need wraparound care, this can be offered at a cost of £4.75 per hour. All children can bring packed lunch, but lunch can be offered at a cost of £1.50.

Parents are encouraged to contribute to children’s planning and suggestions for home learning can be provided. Parent input, alongside talking, observing and listening to the children enables me to discover what they are interested in and to make plans to help them progress.
