The Vital First Thousand Days

The first one thousand days of a child’s life are the most important. This is a time when a child’s life is moulded, where key skills are developed, knowledge is built, and relationships are made.

The Importance of Quality Early Education

High quality childcare, play opportunities and early education are crucial for young children to get the best possible start in life and working with children can be an incredibly rewarding experience.

Is Childcare Your Calling?

If you love being with children, are dedicated to keeping them safe and happy, and are interested in educating and stimulating them to prepare for later life then a career in childcare could be perfect for you.

Five reasons to work in childcare

Being able to TEACH a child something new and watching the ‘twinkle’ in their eyes when they understand and seeing how proud they look. Also listening to them whilst they play – how their imaginations make me smile!

Seeing the children DEVELOP from babies to young people. Giving the children I care for the opportunities both indoors and outdoors to develop their own interests and personalities.

The RELATIONSHIPS you build up to help them children feel secure. Watching them learn how to share and make friends, becoming independent so that they can do almost anything for themselves.

A chance to earn money from doing something I’m good at – running my own BUSINESS and caring for my own family all at the same time.

When the hard work proves SUCCESSFUL, seeing the children’s faces when they do something they didn’t think they could do. What could be better than that?
