Squirrels Family & Childcare Centre

Squirrels Childcare started in 2013, as a home based Childcare provider with Owner and Company Director, Melissa Swain.
Our environments are welcoming, nourishing, and family-oriented.
We strive to provide the best care to very child in our settings, watching them grow and learn through real experiences and play.
From the onset you will be asked to complete an All. About Me questionnaire and this is regularly reviewed to incorporate changes to your child, development points and discuss how you would like certain aspects of their welfare to be met.
All parents have slightly different values and principles and we know you want the best for your child, so we spend a lot of time communicating and building up this relationship.
After the initial visit, we set up a transitional phase.
Together we set dates and times for you to re-visit and stay to play for a short time; depending on the timescales, we then plan the first visits where your child will stay.
We will give you daily feedback, both verbally, and for our youngest children written in daily diaries; and/or using our electronic system, Baby days.
We use technology where possible to keep in constant communication with you and your family.
Please keep posted on the Squirrels Facebook pages for regular updates and communications on the current news articles, events and messages.
Your childs learning journal is always available, anywhere, anytime through our electronic system: Baby days.
Your parental involvement in their development is a vital part of the planning,.learning and development process.
We ask you to complete a short questionnaire; giving us your current feedback on what your child has been learning, your thoughts and ideas for future learning and.how you may support this at home.
