My Summary
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 and a cat , two heavy horses and a pony at a nearby farm, the children learn how to look after and care for the horses and can have rides on Willow our 13 hand pony if they wish to, they love to collect eggs from the chickens and watch the eggs hatch and baby chicks grow each year.
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.
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.
