What we do

We have a purpose built fully equipped childcare setting allowing freedom of choice for many adventures/experiences we're working towards accreditation with The Curiosity Approach. Our aims are to work in partnership with parents to offer safe, compassionate, warm, enlightening & educational care in a family-friendly, child lead environment. I am strongly driven to inspire and teach children. I wish to bring forward my knowledge on the impacts of childhood health and the early years to improve the health & well-being of children and focus on the benefits of outdoor education.
We are situated in Alltami: down a long private lane surrounded by forest, fields & nature reserve. A secluded, safe & secure location.
Along with a 2 acre lawn we have a secure side garden with log cabin, swings, slide, mud kitchen, ride on toys and more. We take the children on nature walks, go to rivers, parks, beaches. We have a private app.
We cover schools in Flintshire, please contact us for details.

Who do we support

We offer care for children around the age of 16 months and above due to the activities and facilities we provide and getting outside as much as possible.
I am registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales and have full planning permission as required by Flintshire County Council to care for up to 20 children up to 12 years of age.
