What we do

We are registered childminders based in Connah’s Quay.
We mostly work with 2 - 4 year olds to help them get ready for school. We do songs and stories and craft. We have a fun garden, and lots of toys. Most of all we try to engage with the children, and give them experiences that will bring them on.
We provide all food; and in most cases we pick up and drop off within Connah’s Quay.
We are currently working towards the Healthy and Sustainable Pre-School Award.
Sian can speak Welsh, but it is English that is mostly spoken. We also use Makaton as appropriate.

Who do we support

Primarily we care for children aged between 2 - 4 who live in Connah’s Quay and who are eligible for Flying Start or Childcare Offer funding. We accept children from any nationality, language or background. We are able to look after some children with additional needs. We work from 9am to 12 noon on weekdays during term time only.
