From the Footprints Day Care
Children will enjoy and be stimulated in Footprints, which has a welcoming atmosphere. Play-based learning is very important to us, and we adhere to the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. Our sibling company Imagine Soft Play Arena and we are both a part of Ashford Play Centre Ltd. For all ages and hobbies, we have unique and individual rooms, as well as a sizable garden that is about an acre in size. We promote independence and self-assurance in our kids. By encouraging sharing, taking turns, and generally being considerate and care of others, we foster social skills. We participate actively in the national initiative Every Child A Talker (ECAT), which supports the development of early speech, language, and communication. Our highly qualified staff members are absolutely committed to the children and considerate of their particular requirements. From the age of three months, your children can begin their time with us and stay with us until they are old enough to enter primary school. For all 3 to 4 year olds and qualifying 2 year olds, there are free funded spots available. We are aware that every kid is unique, and it is our duty to meet their requirements while they adjust to a new nursery setting. Starting with a free tasting session is an option. We can then collaborate with you to decide what is best for you and your child at that point. We are open every day of the year, barring weekends and federal holidays, from 7:45 am to 6:00 pm. The time your child spends with us can be completely flexible; we try to respect each parent's preferences and work around their unique schedules. For all 3 to 4 year olds and qualifying 2 year olds, we offer 15 hours of care absolutely free of charge with NO additional fees or hidden expenditures.
