Patter Place

My Summary

Patter Place | Premium Early Years Care In The Heart Of The Jq

My Experience

With a background rooted in a passion for early years development, we have designed Patter Place to be a high-quality alternative to large-scale commercial nurseries. Our experience is built on the understanding that children thrive when they feel secure, seen, and heard.

Our Expertise Includes:

- Boutique Early Years Care: We specialise in providing care within a "non-domestic" setting, which allows us to offer professional-grade facilities while maintaining the small ratios and intimacy of a family home.

- EYFS Implementation: We are experienced in delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework through a play-based curriculum that prepares children for their next big steps in education.

- Holistic Development: Our focus is on fostering language, social skills, and confidence through indoor and outdoor play, storytelling, art and music.

- Parent Partnership: We understand the needs of modern, working families. Our experience in managing digital communication (via our parent app) and government funding schemes ensures a seamless, professional experience for parents.

We pride ourselves on being more than just a childcare service; we are a dedicated team who remain the primary caregivers for your children every day, ensuring total consistency and a deep, personal bond with every child in our care.
