We have had a fab successful summer 25, providing great childcare in Chorleywood; it was wonderful to see so many content children taking full advantage of free play mostly outdoors. We are now in the process of negotiating a new Rental Agreement with Christ Church School & an agreement with Chorleywood Parish Council to use the common as they now intend to charge us to do so. Until these two vital components are sorted & agreed, we are very sad to say that we cannot plan any more holiday clubs. As you can imagine we wanted this to be all sorted by now. As & when we know more we will update you all ....
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR PHOTOS BELOW & ON THE FACILITIES PAGE TO SEE THE SOME OF THE FUN WE GOT UP TO LAST SUMMER .....
We run GREAT FUN, HOLIDAY CLUBS providing the same EXCELLENT childcare as we have done for the last 16 years but now during the holidays & at the prestigious Christ Church School in Chorleywood. We look forward to taking care of children from ALL schools.
The feeling of the Holiday Club will be NURTURING & STIMULATING Child CARE with an OUTDOOR THEME. When the weather allows we will get the children outside. This is purposefully NOT your large full on Sports Activity Club; we will be SMALL & INTIMATE aimed at 4 (children regularly attending a school nursery- See *** below) to 10 year olds.
We will also feed the children a NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST & NOURISHING HOT TEA **. We know well fed children are happy with good behaviours. We think one packed lunch between 9am to 5.30pm is not enough food for small active bodies.
We will keep employing the same wonderful, experienced, caring & qualified team members as we know a familiar face is always reassuring. We will try to operate at a ratio of just 1 adult to between 6 to 8 children as we fervently believe this is VITAL to providing great child CARE. And Pippa will usually be onsite as being with the children as this is the bit she truly loves. Pippa relishes the constant challenge of trying to deliver the right environment for ALL children.
The HEAD of Christ Church School recently spent time with us - These are her observations :-
"It is wonderful to see all children flourishing under Pippa & her team's nurturing care. Children have the freedom to roam, choose an activity at their own pace & interact with others of their choosing which has created an environment where children are calm, content & thriving. Children are encouraged to play outside & explore in the beautiful surroundings of Chorleywood Common; having time outside in nature is vital for children's mental, spiritual & physical wellbeing. The Holiday club is simply put a nurturing, kind & happy environment for children to be in".
We very recently been inspected BY OFSTED. We are delighted with the charming report. Click here to read it.
*** ALL Children need to be able to independently take care of themselves : Hence we will expect all children in our care to be : 1) Capable of understanding & following simple rules/requests (this keeps them & other children safe) 2) Toilet trained 3) Able to enjoy sitting at at a table for meal times & feeding themselves 4) Able to dress themselves 5) Walk unaided for 15/20 minutes.
