Humpty Dumpty's Pre-School has been running since 1966. We provide a secure, happy and stimulating environment which encourages children to learn by building on their own experiences and by havingfun. We place great emphasis on knowing, caring for and supporting all our children, promoting positive relationships based on praise and encouragement. This in turn helps the children to have independence, confidence and self-esteem.

We have been together for 14 years and live in our three bedroom home with our two boys, George (4) and Christopher (2). We also have a miniature Jack Russell called Cally, two cats called Snitch andSnatch and two rats called Coco and Red. Our aim is to provide a high quality home-based childcare service whilst giving the best possible learning and development opportunities for the children that we care for. We have adapted our home for all to enjoy, with various resources and toys for all ages.

My name is Sally and I am a professional Ofsted registered childminder living in Woolston who provides high quality care and learning for every child. I have fifteen years of experience of workingwith children both as a childminder and as an infant school teacher. I live with my husband Pete and 15 year old daughter Jodie and we have two friendly cats and a budgie. I am registered to provide care for six children under the age of eight and an additional two children under the age of 12.

In the early years, children learn through play, listening and talking. They need to be given the opportunity to explore and find out about the world that surrounds them. I endeavour to provide,promote and stimulate, through various activities and experiences, the all round development and learning of each individual child in my care at their own pace, in a safe and secure, loving environment.

I hope you will find it useful, informative and help you to understand what your child might experience while they are in my care. Hello my name is Ellie.

Our approach embraces the importancethat every child is recognised as an individual whose personal development is as unique as they themselves.
