Our Services
General Information
We offer a full-day childcare service from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday, with both full and part-time spaces available.
Our focus is on provision for young children, covering ages from birth upwards.
We also offer wrap-around care for children in our local primary schools, with a drop-off and pick-up service available for parents whose working hours just don’t work for their families!
Currently wrap-around is available for;
Our capacity is defined by Ofsted rules, meaning we are limited to six spaces for young children (under 5’s), although we are able to support more children, up to the age of 8, for after-school/wrap-around care.
Meals, Snacks & Drinks
A light breakfast, lunch, dinner, plus morning and afternoon snacks are provided within the full hourly fee. We also provide all drinks, including milk (dietary conditions allowing).
If you are using funded childcare hours, this does not cover meals and snacks. However, you are welcome to either pay a small additional daily fee for us to provide these, or to provide them yourselves, in-line with our Healthy Eating Policy.
Consumables & Other Items
Consumables such as nappies, wipes, and sun screen can be provided for a small additional charge. Alternatively, you are welcome to provide these yourself. See our Fees page for more information.
We endeavour to ensure that children are appropriately covered during messy activities, through the use of aprons. However, due to the hands-on nature of our approach, we do request that you provide a spare change of clothes, and that children are dressed appropriately for the weather. We can keep these clothes on-premise or return them home on a daily or weekly basis as preferred.
Location and Amenities
Our location gives us access to a number of valuable local areas and resources, including;
- Moneyhole Park and woods
- Stanborough Park
- Panshangar Park
- Two local libraries
- Soft play facilities
- Multiple farm activity centres
- Knebworth Park & Gardens
We plan regular visits to different locations in order to support overall learning, physical activity, and to encourage exploration, creativity and appreciation of the natural world.
We endeavour to include as many activities as possible within the standard hourly rate, although some activities may incur an additional charge which we will discuss with you in advance as part of our planning process. Unfortunately, funded hours do not include any allowance outside of the core EYFS childcare service, so we will explore options with you if you are solely utilising the funded childcare option.
