OFSTED GRADED - GOOD
We are a small child care provider, providing high quality childcare and have been established since 2005. We pride ourselves on our close relationships with both the parents/carers and the children who attend our setting.
Situated near trams, buses, 2 parks and schools, the children who attend Gem’s Childcare enjoys an environment of nearby sprawling fields and majestic trees that provide year round interest for everyone attending the setting.
The building has been divided into four main rooms, which, are used by the babies, toddlers and preschoolers. We have a kitchen where all meals are freshly prepared and cooked, the children lavatory, a computer area for the children and an office.
The baby room accommodates four babies who are cared for by qualified and experienced member of staff.
The toddler’s rooms accommodate ten babies/toddlers who are cared for by four qualified and experienced member of staff.
Although there are planned structured and adult-led activities, the time in the settings’ is spent learning through play. The social skills of sharing and turn taking flourish here. The children has a home corner, a book corner, general play area, a painting area and also an area where children engage in activities, which promote craft, design and technology.
We also have the sand/water tray, which opens the up numerous creative avenues where children develop a sense of imagination. Sand/water is two natural materials which most children used to extend their learning experiences.
We have a computer area where all the children can learn the basics of computer technology with the aid of software geared towards interactive exercises. Learning how to use the computer helps promote the understanding of technology as a valuable resource for all pursuits.
