About Me

Hi , my name is Lesley, I live with my partner Glyn.

I have 4 grown up children who have now all flown the nest and 3 beautiful grandchildren.

We have a cocker spaniel called Joe Cocker, an indoor ragdoll cat called Papyrus, two heavy horses ,Fred and Harvester and a young filly called Leah at a nearby farm , which we visit regularly in the summer months. The children enjoy helping to care for the horses and they also love to collect eggs from the chickens and watch the eggs hatch and baby chicks grow each year. We are very lucky to have 7 acres to ourselves at the farm, so there are lots of picnics, obstacle races and treasure hunts as well as fruit and veg planting in tractor tyres . Farm visits are always made with my daughter Amy so there are always 2 adults present to keep everyone super safe.

We are also close to the greenway and woods where we can enjoy lots of forest school activities as well as visiting several nearby parks for lots of fun and exercise.

The children regularly explore and have fun with art and crafts , messy play and sensory activities, music , dancing , and stories as well as a large selection of construction and educational toys to enjoy and role play with, all of which will help your little ones progress and develop in all areas.

Meals are included in my daily fees, which includes breakfast, morning and afternoon snacks and tea if required, I ask you to provide a healthy lunchbox for midday

If you'd like more information, please send me a message, I would love to hear about you, your family, and your childcare requirements, I will do my best to accommodate.

Many thanks.

Lesley

My child loved it here!! And loved Lesley as she can be fussy at the best of times she was always entertained and slept well at night so I know she had been busy. Highly recommend.
