I aim to provide children in my care with fun, stimulating learning opportunities and productive working environments according to their age and stage of development through play and everyday activities. Also, to enable them to live a happy and independent life.

I understand that each child is an individual and must be treated with respect. I provide children with a nutritious and balanced diet and ensure they have healthy food options and exercises to keep them fit.

I am happy to take on any child within my registered numbers and will not discriminate against children or families for reasons such as race, religion, sex, or ability.
