Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We are a purpose built, centrally located childcare setting in Catterick Garrison. We have four light and airy children's rooms, designed to best meet the needs of our different age groups. We also ensure that all children have the opportunity to interact with children of different ages, helping promote social skills and confidence building.
Laura's Childminding is a warm and welcoming setting, situated in Ravensworth Area near Richmond. As a Ofsted Registered Childminder I attend regular training courses (a list is on Laura's Qualification page) and we all hold valid Paediatric First Aid Certificates. Since August 2008 my Mum (Judith) has being working with me as my Childminding Assistant and since Sept 2014 we have Frances an Apprentice completing her level 2 in Childcare working with us which works really well.
My name is Barbora, originally from Slovakia I settled here having married a local. Following the arrival of my daughter I set up Elephant Childcare in 2008. I completed a training course in Home Based Childcare and attend a First Aid Training Course every two years to ensure my skills are up to date. We live in a quiet residential area at the northern edge of Ripon. I offer a warm and caring environment catering for no more than three children at any one time.
We are proud to have a setting which emits a homely family feel where the passionate and dedicated staff provide a very warm welcome to all who attend and visit the nursery. Working in partnership with parents is key at Smarties Nursery. At Smarties we care for the whole child and place great emphasis on the basic skills which build the foundation for growth in all areas of development.
Sunbeams Day Nurseries in Harrogate and Leeds are headed by mother of two, Registered General Nurse and Health Visitor, Kate Plews. Kate places great value on the family unit. She has created nurseries which provide a stimulating environment in which care and education is provided for children from birth to 5 years. Sunbeams' nurseries are purpose-built and planned to meet the needs of babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers in their own special areas.
Goulton Grange is privately owned and run by Marian Cornforth. Marian has brought up 10 children of her own, and was a registered childminder for 17 years. She has always had the desire to run and manage her own private nursery, sharing the joy and experience of the development of children in a safe rural setting. At Goulton Grange we believe that a happy and caring environment is essential. All of our staff are extremely responsible, conscientious and professional.
Our company was named Funcare as we both feel strongly that whilst of course our children need to be healthy and safe when away from home, our priorities are that they should be cared for by happy and warm people, and that they should have fun in their day to day lives, whilst learning and developing into happy and confident people in their own right.
Harcourt Day Nursery has been caring for children from 3 months to 5 years of age since 1987. Located close to the town centre of Harrogate we offer full and part time places. The nursery is divided up into four sections to cater for the different stages your child will reach whilst in our care.
I have been childminding for over fifteen years and I aim to provide quality childcare in a safe, friendly and stimulating environment whilst working in close partnership with parents to enable both you and your child to feel settled and comfortable.
