My Fees
- Childminding from £5.90 per hour
Are fees include all outings. We are very competitive in the area cheaper then a Nursery place and your child will receive far more dedicated care in our homely, stimulating learning environment, as they will only be one of 9 tots during the day.
We provide home cooked meals based on Healthy Tots menu, morning snack, two course lunch, two course afternoon snack which is £5.50 a day.
My Local Schools

My son has attended half pints since 7 months old they have been fantastic and my son absolutely loves attending nursery he daily laughs and tells me stories of what he has done in nursery and will mention each individual childminder in his stories. Elliott was diagnosed with epilepsy last year and half pints were a great support to Elliott and myself. They are outstanding and I would highly recommend. Well done all at Halfpints and thank you ???
