Our Aim
Welcome to First Stages Child minding Services where the nurturing and development of the under 5’s is our primary goal.
At First Stages we take an holistic and individual approach towards every child that is cared for by ourselves, from their first stages in baby hood to them growing and developing into toddlerhood through to the confident pre-schoolers that they will eventually become.
Laying the Foundations
We believe that these precious pre-school years are some of the most important years in your child’s life, as you are laying the foundations for your Child’s future happiness and success. How happy and confident they feel upon starting school can determine how well their school experience begins, which can be so crucial with the demands that school places on each and every child today.
First Stages Child Minding provides a first class child care service where your Child will be nurtured and encouraged to be inquisitive about the world around them. Their creativity will be stimulated and explored; their physical energy will be harnessed to be expressive, sensitive and imaginative and the process of learning and language development will be continual without them even realising how much they are learning within a secure, home based environment.
Experience
At First stages we take an holistic and individual approach towards every child that is cared for by ourselves. We consider everything from food requirements, (whether they be little Carnivores and pescetarians, or have allergy concerns or maybe they are definite world loving vegetarians or vegans) , to the values you hold as a Parent , to your child’s daily routines, to any concerns you may have about the development of your child and whatever you feel is important in their life; these will all be constantly taken into consideration making them feel they are truly being cared for in a home from home environment.
First Stages is like a second home
“We really feel you both became like family and First Stages a second home. He loved it so much there and talked about you both and all of his friends all the time at the weekend. He grew to have no hesitation in leaving us at the door which goes to show how happy and safe he felt with you. We cannot thank you enough for what you have done. He is our first child and means the world to us. To know his happiness and development was cared for so well by you both is a great comfort to us, mixed in with the usual doubts and worries about being a first-time parent that we have had. We have no hesitation at all in recommending you and we feel privileged we were able to bring our child to you. You both do such an amazing job and have created such a lovely space for the children and we will make sure he remembers his time with you.”
“Thank you First Stages, Jack absolutely loves coming to you he talks non stop about going and we’re really pleased he’s settled so well. 😊”
