My Summary
About Me
My-STS Daycare is a childminding setting open from Monday to Friday, 7 am to 6 pm, all year round, to provide child-centred care to babies and older children from my home in East Hunsbury and partly at the local community centre, where we spend an afternoon a week for super fun play on inflatables, rides and more.
My-STS Daycare is a warm and loving setting, a safe, secure, and engaging place for children from newborns to older children. The daycare is set up in two spacious rooms with direct access to the gardens and downstairs toilet. The rooms are spacious and set up in a warm and enabling way that allows children to play and learn freely and safely.
I provide educational, engaging, creative, and fun play activities that promote growth, development, and learning for every child's developmental stage.
My learning plan and play activities are tailored to meet the Ofsted EYFS prime and specific areas of learning.
My-STS Daycare setting is here to build well-behaved, excellent children into young champions and a community of friends in our enabling, homely childcare setting. We provide activities both indoors and outdoors. And we go out now and then to the other baby and toddler groups, library, park, playground, other recreational centres and exciting trips.
Parents can provide healthy meals, snacks, baby milk/food for their children and consumables such as nappies, wipes, etc to bring along, or I can provide the children with freshly prepared healthy hot meals, snacks, fruits, and drinks and all consumables.
I am Ofsted registered as a childminder and as an out-of-school club provider. I accept childcare tax-free credits, funding and others.
Book your child now to reserve a space.
Please don't hesitate to contact me for any further enquiries.
Thank you.

My boys attended My Sts for over a year and they loved it. Great atmosphere, Ms Vanessa as we call the owner, really went over and beyond for me on various occasions. My boys miss the after school club and still talk about Ms Vanessa and all the friends they made. If you’re considering signing up with this breakfast and after school club, do it. Peace of mind guaranteed.
